Yes, Charlene, it is like a trach but permanent. It is reversible if need be.

Below is link for you to look at. Thanks for the reply and assistance. We are still waiting for a date.

Good luck to you on your journey. I must tell you that watching my husband  suffer with this horrible disease, I have become aware of and thankful for every breath I take. Breathing is something we don’t think about. We just do it. Until we can’t so easily. I pray for him and everyone who suffers with this disease.
