After five years of ongoing health issues, doctors discovered a plastic flower lodged in the throat of eight-year-old Marley.
"Meaning that food, drink and salvia had basically been entering his trachea and going on to his lungs," Ms Enjakovic wrote online.
Up until this point, inflammation had prevented doctors from finding the foreign object in his throat. "I never thought it would be a foreign body, but it's just not normal for a child with asthma to choke and vomit over food and drink and literally cough for hours straight." "The surgical team in Adelaide did a really good job trying to get his body to heal [the fistula] and it has done an amazing job, but it's just not healing any further and now we have to go to, unfortunately, having another operation."
