Tymur dreams of walking. 4

Tymur was born in July 2018, and already in 2019 his life was divided into "before" and "after". Following viral encephalitis, doctors announced a diagnosis that came as a blow to the entire family: spastic tetraparesis, cerebral palsy.

In that moment, the ground fell away beneath their feet. Tymur could no longer hold his head up, say words, or sit independently. From that moment on, what comes naturally to other children became something he must achieve through hard daily work. But Tymur works – despite the pain and fatigue. The doctors who work with the boy observe positive progress and rehabilitation potential, and emphasize the necessity of systematic rehabilitation.

Tymur is now 8 years old, and his speech has already become more intelligible – new sounds and syllables have appeared, and he shows a desire to communicate. The child responds better to external stimuli, the precision of his movements has increased, his spasticity has decreased, and his movement coordination has improved.

"We are seeing positive progress, and this inspires us to keep going: our son has gained more control over his movements, his muscles have strengthened, Tymurchyk has become more active and attentive, responds better to tasks, and more new skills and a desire to interact with others are emerging," adds the boy's mother.

But there is something that worries his family: Tymur still cannot roll over from his stomach to his back independently, cannot sit, crawl, or walk, and is completely dependent on adults.

That is precisely why the boy needs to continue rehabilitation – but the family has no funds for this. Please join our project – this will allow Tymur to receive treatment and move closer to his first independent steps.
