From a liquid diet to eating a whole paratha – or two!
Shivansh was on a liquid diet when he joined us last July. He couldn’t chew solids, not even a small bite. After three months of oro-motor exercises to strengthen his rotatory chewing and pocket feeding, Shivansh could eat an entire paratha, sometimes even two.
Switching to solids has boosted his physical growth and been convenient for the whole family because he’s no longer on a separate diet. Shivansh’s family finds deep meaning in raising a disabled child.
He’s with us because we have what it takes to look after him. Caregiving roles are distributed so that no one feels burdened.”
— says his father Anand
The family welcomes suggestions on how to do the best for their boy. Anand recently spoke to us about his trip to the Himalayas, and how it’s made him more mindful of his eating habits. He’s inculcated exercise and yoga into his daily routine, and aims for a healthy, conscious lifestyle for his family.
