Fate or life?

From life, it is customary to seek clarity - to accurately understand who you are, what exactly is happening to you and surely know how everything will be arranged further. In this case, the fate of Kiril Ivanenko from the Donetsk region can be considered fully formed right from the very beginning. The doctors had no doubts about him, only clarity. At birth, suffered hypoxia (oxygen starvation), resuscitation, artificial ventilation of the lungs - cerebral palsy.

"Pregnancy proceeded with complications, I several times laid in hospital on preservation. The son appeared with the help of Caesarean section. Kiril was placed in the intensive care unit, connected to the apparatus of artificial ventilation. We only got my son out after two long months. The head of the Department of Newborn Pathology warned that Kiril will have cerebral palsy. I did not know what it was then. When they discharged it, it became obvious that in the development the son lags far behind", Julia recalls, Kiril's mother.

Like in many other similar stories, Julia and Kiril were left alone. Even then, Julia realized that she can not give up, that the fate and health of her son, depends only on her. She began to study all the information related to the treatment of cerebral palsy - methods, clinics, anything that could help her son. "I studied the whole Internet, talked to forums with moms of the same children and I was encouraged: if a child is engaged immediately, then there is a chance! "We started active treatment, including massages, exercise therapy, physiotherapy and micro-polarization, and much more," says Julia. Each treatment, although it gives little, but important for the health of the son results.

In June this year, thanks to the help of caring people, Kiril first visited the International Clinic of Rehabilitation Vladimir Kozyavkin in Truskavets. The treatment was effective: Kiril began to speak in syllables, take the first steps, confidently sit and understand the speech addressed to him more. "For me, these were fantastic and long-awaited events. Kiril became more active, more curious, he had a desire to play with other children, he already remembers poems".

Doctors also note the success of Kiril and recommend continuing treatment, then there is the opportunity to put the child on its feet. Kiril must mentally and physically catch up with his peers. And without our help the necessary treatment - definitely will not.

In our hands the fate of not only Kiril, but his mother. We can help them. This is for us to do. Only we can do it all together!
