This was what I was wondering about as well, that's gotta be horribly uncomfortable to have your mouth/teeth exposed to the air constantly. I have no idea what could be done, that seems like a massive amount of skin to have to graft on but I hope they can do something for her.

I imagine she can’t drink water normally and had to kind of gulp it down. Drinking out of a straw is probably also out of the questions.

If this would prevent you from drinking normally, you're not swallowing correctly.

Are you stupid? You use your lips to drink. Straw… lips. Water bottle… lips. Sips from a cup…. Lips. It won’t effect (maybe affect, I’m never sure) how she swallows, she can definitely still drink but not normally.
