Twins want to walk!

Diana and Mykhailo were born deeply premature by cesarean section and immediately went into intensive care. The twins spent 2 months under a ventilator, then the same amount of time in the second nursing stage. In the end, they were discharged home in satisfactory condition.

Diana and Mykhailo were born deeply premature by cesarean section and immediately went into intensive care. The twins spent 2 months under a ventilator, then the same amount of time in the second nursing stage. In the end, they were discharged home in satisfactory condition.

However, a month later, the twins again go to the hospital with a high temperature. Diana and her brother spent 3 weeks in the hospital, but they were never diagnosed. After that, the children are sent to the Okhmatdyt Kyiv Infectious Diseases Department, where they spent another 2 months. Here they were diagnosed with primary (congenital) immunodeficiency, BCG infections and muscle tone disorders, and after the necessary treatment, they were discharged home.

Now the brother and sister are lagging behind in development, do not sit by themselves, do not crawl, do not walk, constantly need the help of adults, do not understand the addressed speech. Diana and Misha require constant medical treatment and rehabilitation, however, in a family where only the father works, and the mother cares for the twins, there are no such means.

We really want these wonderful twins to be healthy and to please their father and mother, but for this, they need to go for treatment at the Priority center. We hope for your support because Dianka and Misha need her very much!
