Little Tymosha wants to walk

Tymosha is an early, prematurely born child, he was born on week 34. But instead of a cesarean, for some reason, the doctors used an extrusion technique. Having been born, Tymofii did not breathe, so he was placed in an incubator under an artificial lung ventilation apparatus. Doctors explained this by the fact that the boy has underdeveloped lungs. But, as it turned out, the reason was not only that.

Tymosha is an early, prematurely born child, he was born on week 34. But instead of a cesarean, for some reason, the doctors used an extrusion technique. Having been born, Tymofii did not breathe, so he was placed in an incubator under an artificial lung ventilation apparatus. Doctors explained this by the fact that the boy has underdeveloped lungs. But, as it turned out, the reason was not only that.

After mother and son were discharged home, they visited a neurologist. The doctor advised massaging Tymofii. But he did not help: the boy began to behave very nervously, he had a squint and breathing stopped from time to time, while the boy's body turned blue. Subsequent examinations of the baby showed that he had hypertonus, spastic tetraparesis, and fluid in the head, which filled 10% of the brain. All this means a lifetime disability...

Tymosha has already undergone many courses of treatment, but he still has signs of hypertonia, which manifest themselves through a squint, arm twisting, standing on tiptoes and respiratory arrest. In his 1.5 years, Tymofii still does not turn himself, does not crawl, does not stand on all fours, does not sit, does not stand and does not walk.

Parents of the boy in despair. They most of all in the world want their little chick to be healthy, but their financial condition does not allow them to constantly treat the boy. Therefore, we open a fundraiser to send Tymofii for treatment at the “Priorytet” center and make him healthier! Join now!
