Vika’s first step. 6

What is the happiness when your child watches cartoons, understands when you turn to him, pronounces his first sounds and words, takes his first steps... And it does not matter that all this happens when the child is 11 years old. After all, Vika has cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis, and a delay in state motor and psycho-speech development. New skills are given to the girl with great difficulty.

What is the happiness when your child watches cartoons, understands when you turn to him, pronounces his first sounds and words, takes his first steps... And it does not matter that all this happens when the child is 11 years old. After all, Vika has cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis, and a delay in state motor and psycho-speech development. New skills are given to the girl with great difficulty.

And a girl needs to study everything that other children were given by nature: to hold her head, turn over, hold the toys, go, talk, understand... And it all started at birth. Vika was born on the 27th week of pregnancy, and since she could not breathe on her own, she was sent to resuscitation. Doctors did not make positive predictions: the girl refused to eat, forgot to breathe. But the little one survived. What a shock it was when the doctor said: "Vika has cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis, Dandy-Walker syndrome."

Along with the diagnosis, the girl's new life began. And she was called the "fight for health." Then permanent rehabilitation began, then there was an operation by the method of Ulzibat, after that – again rehabilitation. It is difficult to calculate how many have already passed, how much money was spent, but most importantly – the result is in the physical and psychological state of the girl! Now Vika can already sit, walk, holding on to the hand, her back muscles and legs have grown stronger, muscle tone has decreased. Doctors say that the girl has a great chance to become healthy, but we must continue treatment.

Unfortunately, there is no money for the next rehabilitation course in the family, so the hope for recovery is on us. Help this wonderful girl to undergo a course of treatment in the "Pryoritet" center. Zoom it one step closer to a healthy life!
