Mom, what's wrong with my head?

This tiny boy is already 1 year old, but for development he resembles a 5-month-old child, and his weight is generally the same as in a 3-month old. And all this because Dima has a rare disease: craniosynostosis trigonomocephaly – deformation of the skull in the frontal part of the head. It can be corrected only surgically with the establishment of a biometal plate. Without it, Dima can lose sight, stop developing normally and become disabled.

After the birth, the boy's mother noticed the deformation of the skull, she sounded the alarm and asked to examine Dima. Doctors-geneticists reassured the woman. They sad, that many children have such things, and up to a year everything will be fine. Time passed, but the situation did not change.

When Dima was 7 months old, he was examined by specialists and ascertained that the boy had intracranial pressure, craniosynostosis trigonecephalus. The only way out is surgery.

Such a diagnosis cannot but affect the development of the child as a whole. The kid still does not sit on his own, does not turn over, does not become a leg. He cannot even hold a piece of bread in his hands, not just to eat it! Doctors say that we cannot delay the operation, because every lost day turns into a lost opportunity for the boy to sit down, speak or take the first step. But the amount that needs to be collected for the Pokhodenko family is simply too heavy. Help Dima not become an invalid!
