Eric...

No the leak is not around the stoma and trach. We have checked that out
got intensely. My leakage at the moment is solved when I put rubber bands
on the inner cannula. The doctor, Shiley folks, myself and Jim all totally
agree that it is the trach and or the inner cannula.

When I put the red cap on for speaking, etc..no leakage whatsoever.
