A nine-year-old, healthy boy โ€“ suddenly stopped swallowing even his own saliva, which caused a huge regression in his life. He was no longer speaking or using his hands, stopped participating in activities, was back in nappies, out of school, and not sleeping.
The moment when he finally swallowed some saliva, we were all crying and couldnโ€™t believe it. His mum was jumping up and down, hugging him and celebrating. The process took 7 weeks but he finally got off his NG tube, gained weight, and reached a variety of 94 foods across food groups.
