I want to run in the morning dew: Stage 2

Denys struggles for life from his birth: the doctors saved him in intensive care. However, brain hemorrhage, hydrocephalus and constant convulsions caused cerebral palsy. In one hospital it was said to a mother: "Why do you want to have such a child? Deliver a healthy child, and leave this child to himself." However, no one was going to give up. Rehabilitation courses in the Truskavets Hspital give encouraging results. However, the family can't pay for the new course of rehabilitation. Help give Denis a happy future as a present!

I am Anna – a mother of Deniska, who has cerebral palsy almost for the last 5 years. We expected a child, we knew that we should have a boy Denys. But it's happened that at 32 weeks of pregnancy I had have early labour, and because of difficult delivery the child exhibited no vital signs, but it's God's will, and doctors saved our little son. I stayed in the hospital, and my boy was taken to the intensive care unit, and I saw him only on the 4th day. I was told that he had a brain hemorrhage, hydrocephalus (when the brain fills by the liquid), and many other diseases. He spent 7 long days in intensive care unit, and even 40 days we spent in the premature baby unit. It seemed that we would go home and all the troubles were over, but everything became worse.

My son started to have convulsions: sometimes it happened 40 times per day, and we almost couldn't leave hospitals. How much medications we tried to take, wherever we were – nothing helped. In one hospital in Kiev it was said to a mother: "Why do you want to have such a child? Undergo the assessment and deliver a normal, healthy child, and leave this child to himself." But we didn't mind, we set a goal that we will do everything possible to get the child out of this condition, whatever the doctors have told us.

Now Denys does not walk as well as sit, but he began to speak, and to understand more; he knows when he wants to eat, drink, asks to go to the toilet. I am grateful to God for that He doesn't leave us alone, and gives us confidence that our efforts are not in vain, and we'll not stop, we'll go to the end, because I see that rehabilitation in the international Clinic of Rehabilitation in Truskavets yield good results. After the first course Denys had a better health condition, and his speech became more emphatic, his vocabulary increased, he became much smarter after the second course of rehabilitation; he tries to sit a little bit, and he can longer stand on legs with support.

And I'm sure that we will have even better results after the third course of rehabilitation, but due to the fact that we regularly purchase the medications from abroad, that's why we can't raise funds for treatment. Therefore, I appeal to you for help for the second time.

We are sincerely grateful to those who helped us in the first time, and we ask all who are not indifferent to another life to help us now.
