Save Vitalik

After years of surveys, expectations, and with little hope of getting pregnant after doctors words, God gave me hope to experience the joy of motherhood. Ultrasound showed very good results and everything is going better than expected. The baby was born at 40 weeks gestation weighing 2.8 kg. Doctors have convinced me that the baby is quite healthy, and my child was discharged on the fourth day home. However, after a long practice in working with children, I am well aware that something is wrong. And I've not mistaken.

After years of surveys, expectations, and with little hope of getting pregnant after doctors words, God gave me hope to experience the joy of motherhood. Ultrasound showed very good results and everything is going better than expected. The baby was born at 40 weeks gestation weighing 2.8 kg. Doctors have convinced me that the baby is quite healthy, and my child was discharged on the fourth day home. However, after a long practice in working with children, I am well aware that something is wrong. And I've not mistaken.

Weight and development of my child did not meet standards. At the 7th month of life the child appeared first seizures, what doctors said that it was the first signs of growth of the teeth. Hoping for the best, we continued to raise a child. When Vitaliy was 1 year for the advice of a doctor made several massages, as a child did not go. After another massage in baby fever, then began severe seizures as a result of my child lost consciousness. With fear remember the day when health workers for two hours three times informed me of the critical state Vitaliy and count the minutes of his life. There was hope only in God. With God's grace and help of doctors fought for his life. And we were able to save him. From this moment all my strength and prayers I gave my little daughter.

In life there is not easy, constant shortage of funds, because I am a mother, father abandoned us because I was scared to share the difficulties, raising a sick child. Convulsions were often after each of which was delayed psycho verbal development, and we start all over again: learn to speak, use of household appliances, begin again with the world. Treating a child in Lviv Medical Center for 10 years, I am haunted by a critical shortage of funds. To continue the treatment I have sold a lot of things and regularly receive loans because they do not work because I look after parents with disabilities. Such complexity brought me to deep despair, but in the future I struggled’ll be there with your child, and does not lose faith in the recovery and help good people.

Each year, the treatment came with little hope for the best. When Vitaliy was 7 years old, he went to kindergarten Boryslav special boarding school. Vitaliy very rarely attend school, as is often sick, but he has a great desire to communicate with their children. With the support of the sponsors of the school my child gets clothes, books and other things necessary for life, for which I am very grateful to them. However, the schools do not care enough to provide adequate treatment. So I ask you to be gentle and understand my situation and help me in my trouble. Because Vitaliy is my only joy and hope!
