			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Welshwind, Thanks for pointing that out to me. After doing a little research into some journals of SLP on the web, it seems that there is some question as
to the efficacy of whispering as a form of vocal rest. The research of which I was previously aware suggested that it was beneficial, however, there is some
research that suggests that it may be harmful, as well. I would have to agree with the good doctor since it&#39;s better safe than sorry, and recommend against
it now, since it is... ]]></description>

or whining. This is in spite of the facts. We left Reno @ 7:15 last night after a grueling Sunday schedule that included 2-25 point playoffs and a 3-game final
match. Got home at 12:30AM Little Sis has been playing with two fractured ribs for the past 3 weeks with doctor&#39;s permission (fractures are intact) but is

<br>
<br>
We returned from Lonestar on Sunday. It was a 5ish hour trip by car. She did nap on the way home and went to bed early, but no begging off or coming home from
school early. I wonder if the plane travel is the culprit?
<br>
<br>
We consistently used hand sanitizer. WalMart have some 3 oz containers under $2 that clip onto her volleyball bag. She and the team help themselves after each
match.

I not challenging your knowledge. Just looking for some clarification. You indicated that whispering is preferred to talking. My daughter saw Dr. Bastion (sp?)
here in the Chicago area. He is the preferred vocal doctor (not the right word) for members of the Chicago Lyric Opera. The only reason we were even able to
get an appointment with him was through contacts.

Anway, he told my daughter and my wife (I wasn&#39;t there) that whispering was a no-no as well. That... ]]></description>

rolled over Monday morning but I beat a quick path out of the room before she could request a late show up for school. When it was time to go, she rolled out
in her tournament shirt and sweats, but she did roll into school ontime. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Vocal nodules are like calluses, polyps are like blisters. They can form on the vocal cords from the over exertion caused by using a loud voice constantly.
When we speak our vocal cords vibrate and contact each other; the more force we use to speak, the harder they contact. When nodules form, it often results in a
consistently hoarse voice because the vocal cords aren&#39;t able to come into even contact. The bump of the nodule prevents the vocal cords from contacting
each other evenly and... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ As a Speech Language Pathologist, I would be concerned about your daughter losing her voice consistently and for long periods; a week is a really long time to
lose one&#39;s voice. Vocal abuse (using a loud voice constantly) can lead to vocal nodules or polyps (growths on the vocal cords that negatively impact
one&#39;s voice.) Vocal rest (no talking - only whispering,) lots of water, sufficient sleep, and cutting out caffeine can help in the short term. An ENT,
otolaryngologist, can examine... ]]></description>

Soreness, lack of energy and just not wanting to do anything.

Lots or fluids to keep from dehydrating...I recommend a short workout to get the blood flowing again. ]]></description>

qualifiers to be different than a normal tournament since more is on the line and it sounds like your daughter is a tough competitor.  She might be using
everything she has, kind of like the flight response.  You can only do that for so long before you have used up everything that is there and you simply need to
recharge.
