Present Maria to mom! 5

Every woman when expecting a child imagine a happy future with a baby. It may not be as shown in movies or glossy magazines, but it will certainly be her personal happiness. Everything happened suddenly and tragically – premature birth, ventilation, hemorrhage, epilepsy.

Before Masha was born, mother Natalia had never even heard of epilepsy. It was difficult to accept the diagnose of her daughter. When the child was attacked attack by attack, it seemed that they should just go through, someday it should stop. At that time, Natalia did not yet know that she would have to live her whole life with a look at epilepsy. Epilepsy did not allow to breathe, sleep, plan. Doctors constantly changed therapy, adjusted treatment, struggled with deterioration. Endless examinations – tests, MRI, genetic tests. It took 7 years to select the current therapy.

Masha was in remission for four years. However, adolescence provoked the disease. Epilepsy has made itself felt. The type of seizures changed, the drugs gave only a temporary result. Sometimes the attacks were so strong that the girl's life hung in the balance. The solution was hormone therapy. An alarm clock that rings three times a day helps keep epilepsy under control. On the call, Masha is taking medication. Each of the drugs has a long list of side effects, visually it manifests itself as a blurred vision, tremor. But there is no choice, convulsions kill brain cells.

Mom hopes and believes that the thermonuclear cocktail of drugs, a temporary phenomenon, and the disease will recede. Life goes on, even if it is an eternal struggle. It is vital for Masha to take these medications on a regular basis. Help to buy drugs for 2 months. Thanks to everyone who supports Masha and Natalia in their struggle with the disease!
