To fulfill the great dream of little Zlata

Hello! My name is Zlata, and I'm 1 year and 3 months old. And you know, I believe in miracles. Since after my birth at the 31st week of my mother's pregnancy my weight was 730 g, doctors gave me no chance to live and gave me 2-3 points on Apgar. But God gave me life, and I bravely fought for it first in the department of therapy NDI "PAG", then in the nursing department of premature babies in "OKHMATDYT". There I was diagnosed with "hypoxo-ischemic injury of the central nervous system, post-haemorrhage, 1st degree HP and syndrome of vegeto-visceral dysfunction."

There I was diagnosed with "hypoxo-ischemic injury of the central nervous system, post-haemorrhage, 1st degree HP and syndrome of vegeto-visceral dysfunction."

But time passed, and I had no skills that needed to be acquired with each month of development. I still have not learned how to hold my head, turn over, sit, crawl and walk, keep toys in my hands. And so, when I was 11 months old, I was diagnosed with "ICP, double hemiplegia, spastic tetraparesis, retardation of development, microcephaly" in the "Ukrainian Medical Center for the Rehabilitation of Children with Lesions of the Central Hospital of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine".

But despite all this, I have a huge dream. I want to be a healthy child. I want to smile, looking at my happy parents. I want to hold out my hands and hold them tightly. I want to run along with them in the park along the trail, holding hands. I want to play with my sister... But for this I need a long and high-quality rehabilitation. And I believe that angels exist. They live among us and help realize dreams. As mine, for example.
