Absolute miracle for Mishenka. Stage 2

Misha Prudnykov loves to run. But because of serious illness – cerebral palsy, he cannot do that. Misha is trying very hard, he wants to move, but doctor advices complex rehabilitation. The family has used all financial capacity. Misha was born prematurely and due to an error of the doctor the boy almost lost his life even before the birth: Misha's mother was made hysterotomy when the boy had almost stopped breathing. However, All were happy that Misha survived, but the boy stopped breathing at night, and he has spent 8 days in intensive care due to artificial lung ventilation apparatus.

Misha was diagnised cerebral palsy at the age of 6 months – since it's started a desperate struggle with the disease, for each new movement. Various techniques have provided hope, but did not give the result. The boy still can't roll over on his stomach and crawl up to the toys. But parents do not lose hope.

Misha has passed rehabilitation courses in almost all specialized centers of Ukraine. Every day three times a day his mother makes him Voight exercises. Every 3 weeks she pays for his massage course. Visiting the swimming pool 2 times a week doctors advised to increase to 6 times a week. After all, after a course of aqua-therapy at the age of 1 year and 3 months Misha began independently to raise his arms upward. But, unfortunately, in our country parents have tried all the methods, but the aqua therapy is almost thinly represented.

The doctors advised to treat Misha just in Montenegro – except of methods of Vojt and Bobath there are the greatest number of aqua-therapy options represented. After two courses in the Igalo Institute Misha started move the legs, like other children in 2-3 months. He already can move a finger of left hand to his mouth. Doctors said that the result is good, the most important thing – we must not stop now. But cannot cope without external help. Child health depends on money – to pay for road and rehabilitation. So parents asked for help to Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace.

"I beg you to help make a little miracle – help my child sit, crawl, or even walk! For most of children it is so simple, but for Misha its dream he can think about. After all, he knows that the life is movement. When I look into his eyes, I see that he understands because he has a huge will to live. Most of all, as every mother, I want to see my son to be healthy. I know that my son will be able to live a full life, my husband and I do all possible things for it, and even more. But, unfortunately, this is not enough, therefore, we appeal to all to help give our child a chance to crawl, sit, walk... For you – it's simple. However, for our family it will be great victory!"
