Ease the pain of Kuprienko Polina, June 2016 

In the very beginning of our youngest daughter Polina's life all our family went through a real nightmare. In one night, she fell into a coma due to purulent meningitis and then added sepsis. Now she is 7 years old, but she does not walk or even sit, mentally almost completely limited because she has cerebral palsy, which is complicated by the epilepsy.However, despite all these diagnosis', the four rehabilitation courses in Dr. Kozyavkin's clinic helped her a lot, though we do not have money to pay for the next one. Now she really needs it. We are not waiting for the miracle, we simply want to ease the state of her health.

Till today Polina cannot do anything physically. She does not even hold her head. Because of such a state our daughter suffers constant problems with the intestines, she can cry all day long because of the pain in her stomach.
Her thorax is deforming, her spine is curving, a hump is starting to appear on her back. In her usual state she bends all the time, cries, convulsions become more frequent, almost all the time after the reanimation we have not known what it is to sleep longer than two hours. Very rarely there are moments when she is calm and then Polina smiles. On such days i am infinitely happy.

In the beginning of 2012 we were able to go through the first course of rehabilitation in the center of Dr. Kozyavkin, then the state of our daughter became much better and, very importantly, her spine became almost straight. Over two years the back became curvy again (when we could not go for the rehabilitation). After 2-4 courses the back straightened again, there is a change in the mobility of the limbs, especially in the handles - she began to actively pull the jaws in the mouth, for all this is almost 5 years old, she had never had! Also during the rehabilitation the blood flow to the extremities improves noticeably, hands and feet are no longer cold, the effect lasts for approximately 2 weeks after the course. In the position laying on her stomach Polina started to raise and hold her head better. Also she can roll from one side to another. And how well she now stretches in the mornings! It means that she can use her limbs better or worse. During the rehabilitation her sleep becomes better, calmer, but the effect dissapears after. Also Polina started to notice me much better - she turns her head when i talk to her, smiles more when i play with her.
Unfortunately, our family has no means to take permanent rehabilitation courses in this center, and so we are forced once again to ask for help.

I turn for help to all those who have the slightest chance to help. Without this rehabilitation Polina's state will become noticeably worse, her pain becomes almost permanent. Thank you very much in advance!
