Through tears and pain – David fights!

Always smiling boy David was born full-term, on time, without any abnormalities. But later, starting at 6 months, his parents began to notice that he had abnormal hand movements, he did not start sitting up, did not roll over on his tummy, and held his head uncertainly. And so began their life in hospitals and constant trips for examinations. 

Now the boy is almost 2 years old, and, unfortunately, he still does not sit, does not hold his head well, does not have support on his hands, does not crawl, does not walk and does not speak. At the age of 1, David was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis and delayed psycho-speech development. Then the life of this family turned upside down, and the struggle for a full life for this little boy began! Through tears, through pain, but they are ready to go only forward and will fight to the end! His parents believe that he can do anything.

David understands everything and responds well to everything, he loves it when his older brother plays with him. The boy loves listening to and watching children's songs. But there are also bad moments: sometimes he doesn't sleep well at night because of severe hypertension, he gets twisted and wakes up crying. His mother is already very tired and exhausted because he is in her arms all day, he can't even lie down on his own for 10 minutes, he is constantly crying and only calms down in her arms. And what upsets the family the most is that they don't know why their baby is lagging behind in development, what is the cause of this condition. That's why they recently decided to take genetic tests that will be conducted in San Francisco and are waiting for the results. They were able to raise the money on their own, although only the father works in the family, with the help of family and friends, and they sincerely hope that the cause will be known and doctors will be able to give prognoses.

Every month, the mother goes with her son to rehabilitation at her own expense with the financial help of relatives, as doctors said that intensive classes are needed until the age of 3. She also does physical therapy with the boy every day! But, unfortunately, the family's finances have run out. After each course, the family sees a positive result, it is still very small, but it is there! Rehabilitation is a challenge for him: at first, David cries a lot, even starts to turn blue and hold his breath, but then he starts to get used to it and takes it a little more calmly. The parents are begging for help from caring people with rehabilitation for the boy and believe that their son will be able to sit, crawl, talk, and eventually walk!
