Madam/Sir,
To you who read this letter.
I would like to greet you and wish you well. I am Andry’s mom. I put my address at the bottom in case you need it.
Andry: 25 years old.
He has had epilepsy from time to time since he was 18 months old. But because of God’s love and forgiveness, his health has shown improvements. He began to take medicine every day when he was 19 years old and then stopped taking it six years ago. He is learning now. The occupational therapist is responsible for his treatment at the CSB II (Ambohidroa-East-Ambohidratrimo). He began to work with her in September 2013.
At that time his hands were still very stiff. When he saw a stranger’s face he made funny face and closed his mouth. When we washed him, he hit and bit us. He didn’t want to eat for a long time; and did not sleep during the day nor at night. He often fell down and got hurt and consequently we always had to go to the doctor often.
Now his mind begins to open. He can grab things. He can put food in his mouth. He begins to be friendly. We can talk to him. He can play ball (“pasy pasy”), play with small cars, and drink water from a cup. His face that used to be an expression of sadness is now glowing and happy. He can eat well and also sleeps well.
He seldom has epileptic seizures. He also received a wheelchair and it helped him to feel better.
I want to thank God because I trust in my Lord Jesus. Everything is possible with him. He sent the occupational therapist to look after the disabled people, so I wish the best for her, to have strength and to be healthy so that she can accomplish the mission that needs her.
Doing the exercises and following the advice she gave, were the important things that brought improvement to Andry.
Thank you for listening and reading this letter. I wish the best also for you.
“To God only be the glory”
Thank you,
Sylvanna
