Help save Katyusha!

"I am writing in despair with hope for your help my 4.5-year-old daughter Katrusia. Since the age of 5 months the baby continues to suffer from epileptic seizures. Health condition of the girl is not improving. Katyusha couldn't sit, go, and speak." The Family asked Spanish Medical Center "Teknon" for help, and the doctors agreed to help. But parents have already spent all their savings on the pre-treatment of the child. We hope for your support and we sincerely appreciate your help!

Sorrow came to our family and this trouble has changed us and our vision of the world forever. Our little daughter Katia Zhdanova has epileptic seizures since birth. The girl was born prematurely, but she was discharged from the hospital as a healthy girl. At home the child was very tearful, she's constantly crying. At the day-time she's slept fitfully, but at night she didn’t sleep at all. Regular medical tests, visits to the hospitals as well as consultations began. At the age of 8 months the child was diagnosed "West syndrome", and at the age of 1 year and 2 months she was diagnosed "symptomatic epilepsy". We treated child with medicines, homeopathy and non-traditional methods. Katrusia was examined in the department of neurology, also has regular therapeutic exercise courses.

However, the treatment and ongoing rehabilitation didn't give the desired effect. Katrusia doesn't know what childhood is. The child only knows what the pain, wakeful nights, regular classes, hospitals and doctors are. At the moment the girl doesn't develop according to her age, she has developmental multiplication. Katyusha can't walk as well as sit without help, and can't speak too. Due to the constant seizures that the child has when she falls asleep, Katia may cry for hours because of pain and fear. Our family has neither moral nor physical strength to live with that pain.

Our family has appealed to the Medical Center "Teknon". Doctors suggested further examination of the child because of the health condition of the girl. The cost of medical testing and treatment for us is simply unattainable. But even more valuable is the life of our child. Our whole family believes and hopes for the recovery of our daughter. There is a prospect of her development. At the moment the girl holds her head, sits with support, her back muscles became stronger, the girl began to stand on her feet on her own, and we were able to get rid of one type of seizures, and the second type continues to torment our children. Each attack triggers the next. The brain can't develop in a natural way. Constant attacks don't allow the child to sleep and to grow.

Unfortunately, hourglass is turned upside down, but we believe that together we can help Katrusia . Don't leave us alone with this affliction. Help save the life of a small Katrusia!
