We’ve tried at least a dozen ways to get Yochanan to eat the high-protein food the doctor recommended. He won’t touch a thing”
T he manager of the Home for Children with Disabilities a small harried-looking fellow shook his head in dismay.
“Nothing’s working ” he declared. “We’ve tried at least a dozen ways to get Yochanan to eat the high-protein food the doctor recommended. He won’t touch a thing.”
Yochanan a pale tired-looking boy in a wheelchair just sat there weakly saying nothing. He wasn’t trying to be difficult; the trouble was that he had no appetite. The thought of putting food into his mouth especially high-protein food made him nauseous. He wished everyone would just leave him alone.
The manager stepped aside to talk to the nurse. “It looks like we’re going to have to arrange for Yochanan to be tube fed ” he shrugged. “The doctor told us to avoid it if at all possible but he’s just getting weaker and we can’t really push it off any longer. Call the hospital to make arrangements please. Gotta run there’s work do be done.”
