Mom, teach me how to walk. 3

For children with cerebral palsy, their whole life is a struggle against the disease. Every day is an exercise and work on your body, because it depends on the future life of the child, whether they will be able to move independently, take care of themselves, as well as affect its mental and physical development. Systematic rehabilitation and classes, effective treatment cost money, and up to UAH 100,000 are needed per year to provide a full-fledged treatment to a child.

For Nikita at the moment – this is a course according to the Serbian method BDA Professional. This course allows you to practice at home, and while during the quarantine most rehabilitation centers close their doors, this course allows you to not interrupt treatment.

This will be the second BDA course for Nikita. At present, the boy has changes in body structure, muscle tension decreases, upper breathing opens, and this allows Nikita to move more freely. The condition of the pelvic floor has improved, which prevented surgery, as Nikita has bilateral subluxation of the hip joints. "There are changes in development, which means we are on the right track, so in any case we can not stop classes!", says mother Irina.

The story of this baby began in his early days - the boy was born prematurely, spent 4 days in intensive care. He was soon diagnosed with "uterine infection with lung and brain damage", the final diagnoses were "cerebral palsy", "double hemiplegia", "myoclinic seizures", "mental retardation"…  But Nikita's mother did not give up and began to do everything to get health for my son. They have been diligently engaged for 5 years, and all the achievements are only due to diligence and systematic training.

It is a pity that the disease cannot be overcome only by efforts, the intervention of specialists is required, the treatment needs to be paid for, and unfortunately the family does not have such funds to provide Nikita with a full-fledged expensive treatment. The family turns for help to caring people and sincerely believes in good hearts. Help the boy take another step towards victory!
