Hello, 
       I am an SLP graduate student, and I'm doing research on a case study 
for my dysphagia class.  The problem is, I'm having trouble finding resources 
on the subject.
       The case is regarding a 24 y.o. male with a gunshot would to the face. 
 Approx. 1/3 of the left maxillary bone is missing, as well as some teeth.  
His trigeminal and facial nerves were damaged, and the left faucial arches 
and left side of velum were torn and surgically repaired.  Also, the tongue 
and left cheek were torn and surgically repaired as well.  He is currently 
NPO and feeding through a g-tube.  I'm supposed to answer questions about 
what can I expect to see on the MBS and overall eval, and is PO intake a 
realistic goal?
       If anyone can give me any leads as to where to look for any kinds of 
resources (books, periodicals, websites, etc.), I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance,
             Jocelyn
