All will be alright. Stage 2

First we met Katrusia when she was 1. She was so little and tender that the only will was to hold her tight and never let go. And it could be understood, because children with Cerebral Palsy are in need of such care in any age. At that time the rehabilitation in the International clinic of rehabilitative treatment in Truskavets helped her a lot. Today she is 3 and she's changed a lot due to the constant care and work of her parents and doctors. The results are more than convincing. Nevertheless, to get to the stage of her full recovery there is a long and difficult road ahead...

Katrusia is already confidently holding a needle, turns from back to belly by herself and is getting furthermore interested in toys. The biggest achievement is that she has started to show her happiness smiling as well as to show other emotions.

At the time the kid couldn't crawl by herself, sit and walk... However, in her age of 3 she is not being lazy. In the periods between treatments her parents take her to swimming pool systematically, they attend courses of physical therapy under the instructor's supervision, the courses of complex massage and the speech therapy.

Kartusia's mother says that doctors confirm the correct way of chosen treatment, pointing at the importance of not losing time. And this is exactly what Katrusia need the most now – the systematic neurophysiological ridge correction under Dr. Koziavkin's unique method. Such course is necessary twice a year and is of significant financial cost, however, the family does not have the required funds...

We know that with our joint efforts Katrusia will soon be able to say her first word "Mom" and make her first step, holding her mother's hand!
