In Romania, people make homemade soap and in so doing they use chemicals. One of the ingredients used is caustic soda. This mix is often stored in used soft drink bottles. Unfortunately children see soft drink bottles with their recognizable labels and sip the drink resulting in burning and collapse of the esophagus.
Historically the only thing that could be done for these children was to operate and open the esophagus, and this method wasn’t always successful meaning a lot of children would die from this simple accident.

When H.U.D.T.(Divine Mercy in Action) asked about these children the doctors informed them that they were aware of a treatment method in the US with Balloon dilators. A tube is inserted into the esophagus and a balloon type apparatus inflates to prevent the esophagus from collapsing and enabling the child to be fed through this tube.

Florin Zotic was nearly unsaveable when the dilators arrived. She was treated ten times with the dilator, but with no response. The doctors came finally decided they could not save her and had given up. Her mother prayed the chaplet of Divine Mercy all night and asked them to try one more time. They finally agreed and she was saved thanks to the Divine Mercy in Action.

Christine is another child who was saved by the Balloon Dilator and the help of Divine Mercy in Action
