My husband and I married in 2009, lived one year after giving birth to a baby and we went surveyed, has come a long course of treatment and we both diagnosed – conventional infertility. We have long pondered and decided to adopt a baby… Gone are all the procedures that are needed for this… And we were offered the candidacy of our Dima… Our child diagnosed with cerebral palsy, double hemiplegic form with tetraparesis, severe psychomotor retardation (IV level by GMFCS).

When we first saw it, it froze his smile, we are not thinking long baked onto him with all my heart. We were told all his story: Dimka was born with a weight of 900 g., Was in serious condition after birth, he at the time (he was 5.5 months) had two hernia: inguinal-scrotal one second umbilical, third it was removed in 3 months because she violated. He was at the back gemangeoma which ulcerate, and many more all diagnoses that were the consequences of hypoxia, etc. My husband and I decided that we wanted to make this kid was in our family, and will make every effort to put him on his feet.

We were then told that he put cerebral palsy 80% from 100%. We took him when he was 8 months before we went through a difficult moment – our baby before we had to go to court for a meeting, was admitted to hospital on the second day was in intensive care, (one day was unconscious and under mechanical ventilation). Was in a very serious condition, we are terribly worried and nervous, but, thank God, he adjusted health.

When we took him home, he is still not 100% recovered, and because of this, in two weeks we got back to the hospital, dolgovato sick. We have become frequent visitors to the pediatrician and neurologist (as it is our right doctor). When we took him home, he hardly extensor arms and legs, he could not hold toys in his hands, he could not turn and roll, I could not lie on his stomach, not relied on the legs. We began to engage with him, and to 10 months he began to show interest in toys, hanging over him, and stretch to them (for us it was a joy and achievement). Up to 10 months, he was often ill (the new situation, he has long been in the room, and gradually got used to the street, hard to bear sickness, because at birth he had not unfolded at once one lung).

The first course of treatment and rehabilitation, we have been in the 10 months (from 08.07.2013 to 19.07.2013) in the city Department of Neurology. After this course, it became easier. Began to take toys in hand, reaching out to them, they balk at the legs only on tiptoes. Started to do the exercises every day, a month hiatus the past, private massage course. Then there were still numerous courses of rehabilitation.

Once, as Dima recovered and his condition has stabilized, we have undergone rehabilitation in a rehabilitation, which is expected to turn a year since it is in constant traveling. Dima made the correction of the spine, the vertebrae set correctly, as They were wrong. After correction Dima was trying to crawl, became smoother keep your back when sitting at the support and walking.

Dima now need to undergo another course of rehabilitation, but it means parents do not have. Help give Dima a real miracle – get on their feet and make your first independent step!
