Vlad is three years old.
Vlad is my second and long-awaited child. Vladislav was born at 31 weeks of pregnancy by emergency cesarean section. The boy was immediately connected to the ventilator in the intensive care unit of the maternity hospital. On the sixth day the baby's condition became stable, and he was transferred to the department of pathology of premature babies. Vladislav recovered quickly and seemed to be an absolutely healthy baby.
At 4 months of age the MRI scan revealed that the right hemisphere of the brain was almost absent, the right lateral ventricle occupied the whole space, the left hemisphere was growing, but it was displaced in place of the right hemisphere, the skull bones practically did not move or grow. At 6 months, he was diagnosed with cerebral spastic tetraparesis.
Since 7 months of age Vladislav undergoes rehabilitation in rehabilitation centers. Constant exercises at home outside of out-of-town courses do not stop. For three years Vlad has learned to crawl, to stand near the support, to walk along the support, to sit down while lying down, can make 20 steps by himself, tries to work with his left hand, cooperates better with his peers, does various objects (rolls the toy car and build the tower with bricks), understands the spoken language and fulfills his requests.
After sessions with a speech therapist, he started babbling. Now Vlad has no fine motor skills in left hand, equinovalgus deformity of left foot and absent speech.
Without constant rehabilitation and work with specialists, Vladislav will not be able to move forward in his physical and intellectual development. The boy needs constant lessons with a speech therapist, speech therapist, therapeutic massages, physical therapy. All occupations require large material expenses. His father works in the family, and his mother had to quit her job.
We ask all caring people to respond and help with the rehabilitation course.
