ZiPing all smiles after his milk feed

SPECIAL MENTION

We wish to thank the volunteer medical team of nurses and specialists (Gunilla, Astrid, Marie-Ange, Camilla, Ellinor, and Joke) that have worked so hard to get Ziping to gain weight and to keep healthy. Ziping came to us at 18months old, 5 kg, zero muscle tone, and could not swallow any food or milk on his own. We have worked with him patiently with spoon feeding and slowly training him to use his tongue. He suffers from severe constipation and the nurses have painstakingly tried all foods to see which suited him best and helped him gain weight. He has responded well over the months and his overall health has improved. He can now hold his head on his own and has strength to play. He will be 2 years in September 2007.
