A second life for the mom

Misfortune can happen to anyone. Yulia, a young mom, has survived an apparent death after an injection of a medicine, which she already used earlier, as a result of anaphylactic shock. To bring her back to life, Yulia’s family has spent an immense sum and is in debt now. At present Yulia badly needs rehabilitation courses but the family simply does not have any money for them. Yulia’s children believe that their mom will certainly recover! That people will not turn their backs on them and will help their mom, will give their mom a second life!

Earlier, Yulia was an ardent follower of healthy lifestyles: she went to fitness, observed eutrophy and addressed her health issues seriously. But anyway she fell ill some day. «Nothing to worry about, - Yulia thought, - I will go to the doctor, make an antibiotic injection and everything will be well again.” But some time later Yulia felt extremely bad. Her body unexpectedly reacted to a medicine that was already familiar to it by an allergic fit and anaphylactic shock. “Your mom is ill and she needs to go to the hospital for treatment” the children were told. Ambulance, reanimation, heart stop…

Doctors are fighting for Yulia’s life and do not let her die. They start her heart anew and she is alive again! But the conditions of the young mom are very severe: she is suffering from post-reanimation syndrome. Yulia spends two months and a half in the intensive care, first of them – in the state of coma. A former sportswoman is not able to walk, talk or eat independently. While the doctors are very careful with their forecasts for Yulia’s future, her family and relatives start to fight for Yulia’s returning to normal life.

The staff and management of the enterprise at which Yulia’s family work come to the assistance of Pavlyukovsy family. Everyone helps them: close and far relatives, friends and acquaintances. Money is borrowed and taken on credit: the total sum comes up to 300 000 hryvnas (37,533 US dollars). Due to the joint efforts Yulia is completing the rehabilitation courses and undergoing operations. Eventually the treatment has positive results: she is starting to recover!

Yulia is starting to move independently more and more. First she communicated with people by nods but at present she is already able to pronounce words. It’s a real break-through comparing to the state in which Yulia was in the reanimation. The progress is evident but is does not come easy. Internal funds of the Pavlyukovsky family have been spent completely. But Yulia needs new rehabilitation courses.

Little Egor and Vanya know for sure that their mom is going to recover, that people will not turn their backs on them, that they will help them again to bring their mom back!
