This baby's name is Olga. The first labor for mom Anya was rapid, and she warned doctors about that. And secondly story was repeated: the cervix had no time to open up when the child asked to come out to that world. For some reason, doctors were not prepared for such a script... In the 21st century in the provincial town, the newborn was "squeezed" out of the birth canal in the old way.

Although placental abruption and high level of bilirubin (270), little Olia was not put to the intensive care unit, and the mother was convinced that a child is all right, but for some reason, they didn’t let them go home. 2-3 times a day, Anna saw how the daughter is curved in convulsions, but not when the doctor was somewhere near that’s why they did not believe mother. Once there was a cramp when neonatology was standing near, and she insisted on an urgent transfer to the intensive care unit. Just in time – the baby started to turn blue, gasping for breath.

For one week Olia was on a medical ventilator. Several times were used anticonvulsant drugs – but nothing helped. Doctors from Children hospital #5 were not able to stop cramps too. The only progress was that child stopped with probe nutrition and started to eat from the bottle. In general, there was no development of the baby, she was always staring at the ceiling and did not respond to any voice.

Olia was diagnosed with West syndrome – one of the hardest forms of epilepsy. To stop cramps were able only in a private clinic EPI.NET-Keto in Bila Tserkva, appointing medication Sabril. But unfortunately, it was working only during 3 months until there was canceled Levitsitam. Then cramps started again.

The clinic offered Ania to try a completely new method of treatment for Ukraine - keto-therapy. Its essence is a special diet with the very strict ratio of fat to protein and carbohydrates. Ketone bodies that are produced in the body as a result of diet, are used as the power by the cord. The content of fat, protein, and carbohydrates in food is regulated by precision equipment.
Research results are impressive: at more than half of children with epilepsy the number of attacks is reduced by 50%. In 10-15% of patients there comes complete remission!

The cost of treatment in the rehabilitation clinic in Chernovetsky department is 3500 euros. The course of treatment is scheduled for January. Please help Olenka get rid of painful convulsions and start to develop!
