10,000 euros. This is the amount collected on the Internet by the parents of Louis, a 5-year-old boy from the town of Dannemarie in Yvelines. When he was 6 months old, doctors diagnosed him with a lung disease, which prevented him from eating by mouth and forced him to be fed by a nano-gastric tube. Recently recovered, Louis can now learn to eat normally. The boy will be able to be taken care of for two weeks in an establishment in Austria, specializing in learning swallowing reflexes. These parents were able to finance this stay thanks to the money collected at the end of a call for donations on the platform. Gofundme.
Learn the gestures of chewing and swallowing
In this establishment located in Graz in Austria, little Louis will be able to learn and familiarize himself with gestures such as chewing and swallowing, so that they subsequently become reflexes. The internship, which will take place from October 23 to November 3, 2017, is already delighting his parents: “For us, it’s like a dream to be able to share meals and savor new tastes with our son,” says the mother of the little boy at France Blue. “It goes straight to our hearts. Thanks to all these donations, Louis’ life will finally change, he will be able to enjoy life to the fullest!”, She adds.
