Occupational Therapy

I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1

For 52 days, Renzo’s food goes through a tube inserted in his nose (NGT) which will only be removed if he pass his swallowing tests which he failed for several times already because his swallowing reflex is so weak and might have been damage when he went into comatose as we were told by some of his doctors.  Instead of going through the esophagus, when fed through his mouth, the food goes to the trachea (near the lungs) which poses risk of being aspirated or acquiring pneumonia because his glottis (the flap which closes by reflex above trachea to protect the lungs whenever we swallow) isn’t functioning well. Thus, a peg (tube inserted directly to the abdomen) was taken into consideration. But praise God! For five days now, he eats through his mouth during his occupational therapy sessions without a trace of food in the trache. God willing, the NGT will be removed soon. Our God has answered our prayers again.

Thank you for keeping him in your prayers!

Keep holding the rope with us. Thank you and God bless!
