Life without limitations

Sometimes, unfortunately, children are born with serious illnesses. Our Zlatochka was among such children. Birth trauma has led the baby to a delay of stato-motor development. Zlata felt a lot of pain and suffering for her four and a half years. But, against all the odds, we with our Zlatochka do not give up. Our daughter has already learned to sit, talk, crawl, hold her back, she likes books, English, music and often smiles. All thanks are to the therapists and recreation therapists. But we have to pay for their work and pay daily.

Zlata is a very long-desired child. But her coming-into-being was not joyful. When my daughter was born, she did not scream or breathe. Then there were 2 weeks of intensive care, 2 weeks in the hospital. After that, there was a constant treatment and all day long crying. And there were no changes until 3 months, she did not even see us. But after active therapy with drugs, she finally looked at me! But the treatment was progressing slowly. When she was 1 year and 6 months old, she did not even sit. Then was a visit to the osteopath, and, a miracle happened, a week later we sat down, and in another week we started to crawl. Then Zlata began to walk holding our hands. Swimming, massage, exercise therapy, acupuncture, therapeutic horse riding are our permanent life. Zlata is very strong. And the belief that she will walk herself does not leave me. After all, there was a time when she did not even say “mom”, and now she can talk and declaim poems, knows a lot of English words and small poems.

In February this year, Zlata underwent an operation according to the Ulzibat’s method, a dissection of the scars in the muscles that restricted her movement. And Zlatochka went herself, although still holding the support arrangement. The legs hurt and quickly get tired, she is very scared, but she still goes! Now, in order to obtain a stable positive result, she needs reparative rehabilitation. We have to ask you for help, as we are in a very difficult situation. We are a lack of funds. We cannot manage on our own, we can only hope for the kindness of people. And we believe that the world is no without good people! Together we will manage with it, just help her, please!
