My son – my life

I, like everyone else, have often heard from the media the stories about kids with a terrible and rare diseases, the fundraising for the treatment of these children. I remember a boy with leukemia who was listed with her ex-husband 100 UAH… And I always thought that all of this somewhere that I'll never touch… and Yes to the question:"why do you do it, you don't have money itself, isn't it… ?", he answered "because I would never like to be in their place." But apparently in life, what you're afraid of, it happens!

December 23, 2009 I was born the son of Arthur on the period of 40 weeks. 23 December morning at 8 o'clock withdrew the tube and I went to the hospital. The contractions intensified, head of the Department gave me the conversation, explaining that the fetus is too large,the first birth at the age of 34, child oslablenie, palpitations weak, need extra "cesaret" because the child in the womb is suffocating. But then an unexpected thing happened: I started to give birth, the baby very quickly went out, and the time had very few, on the third floor have not delivered…  So I gave birth to the baby from the beginning bouts 1 hour and 45 minutes. For a few seconds I laid him on his stomach, he was so beautiful, I somehow thought that children are born with closed eyes, really wanted him to have blue eyes, but he was a copy of me, then they took him away and gave me the anesthesia...

The baby was born with a weight of about 4 kg, height of 54 cm. Three days I was not allowed near the child, for two days he shouted, fed through the catheter special diet, chopped… I cried from happiness when I first held and nursed her baby, will never forget those feelings...

Before my life was carefree, fun and stable. It seemed to me then that my future will be forever :)) But since 23 December 2009 everything changed drastically. No, life has not become suddenly heavy, in spite of all they had to go through… It made sense.

And I got real happiness – my Arturchyk.

Artur was diagnosed cerebral palsy, and the last 3 years we do go to the doctors and rehabilitation, but that is what I would like to have. I rejoice in any, even minor success son. And let all that is not so easy, but Arthur is not in place.

Feels good, new sounds, I often hear, "Mama, Mama" hope is turning to me, new facial expressions, interesting this was… often asks to shake hands, to stand on his feet, agile, across the room to manoeuvre at the knees and butt, opens tables, drawn to subjects studies. Sleep well at night, eat with appetite, watching cartoons…

I thank God for the fact that there was so many good and helpful people! I hope that I can repay you the same good.
