   Earlier this year, Zhenya underwent a microarray genetic analysis, which did not reveal any mutations. However, her parents, together with the doctors, continue to search for an explanation for the symptoms she is experiencing. Genomic testing is required to completely rule out genetic causes, but at present the family does not have sufficient financial resources to undergo this procedure.

      Recently, Yevgeniya underwent rehabilitation at the ‘Hippocrates’ centre and took part in a recovery programme in the neurology department following an update to her individual rehabilitation programme. Unfortunately, due to previous illnesses — otitis and bronchitis — these sessions had to be cut short. However, thanks to a specialised diet, Yevheniia’s body has become stronger, which has contributed to a faster recovery and better resistance to viruses.

      At present, the girl regularly attends sessions with a neuro-speech therapist and undergoes reflexology sessions, which help to keep her condition stable. However, minor emotional fluctuations are sometimes observed.

      The family is sincerely grateful to everyone who has shown concern for their help and for providing Zhenya with a lactose-free diet.
