Meet Will!
Will began his feeding therapy journey a few years ago. He was GJ tube dependent and never had anything touch his mouth, including toys, food or drinks, let alone swallow anything. Through ongoing therapies and a collaborative team including family, friends, nurses and clinician, Will worked through learning all the skills that come so naturally to most children. From being aware of food, to being comfortable putting just utensils in his mouth, to trying to manage purees, to sucking from a straw, to getting excited to eat, Will is now safely eating a wide variety of food and has transitioned from being GJ tube dependent, to just needing one G tube feed at night, participating in mealtime experiences with his family, friends and classmates! Will is still working hard and learning how to manage some more challenging foods, but he is excited about his new sills, has so much fun in feeding therapy and each day surprises us all with his ambition, hard work and dedication!
