One day before the birthday-16,Molly underwent organ transplantation dangerous to 3 for 12 hours at Birmingham Children's Hospital. Transplants performed to replace the heart,intestines and pancreas. Slowly he learned to eat and drink again.
However, due to many years to grow without food,make it never feel hungry and thirsty.
"I do not get pleasure from food and had to remind myself to eat and drink at mealtimes," Molly said from Buckden, Camb, as reported by SWNS, Wednesday (03/08/2011).
Molly said that eating is a new experience for him. There are so many flavors and textures that he must get used to. According to him, the experience of eating is very difficult to describe with words.
"I learned it (eat). I like the chips and do not like chocolate," he said.
When I was eating by using the tube, he claimed to have never experienced the social aspect of food. If parents provide food, he just sat at the table and read a book.
