Report

Vasilisa is almost three years old. One by one, many diseases were identified, but the cause was never known.

Thanks to Tuba and a lot of kind people, the girl had a genetic analysis, which revealed CHARGE Cidrom. All of Vasilisa's illnesses are due to a mutation in the CHD7 gene.

Doctors diagnosed neurological and physical developmental delays. This is observed even now. Vasilisa cannot sit, speak, or hold objects for a long time. However, even doctors allowed and even recommended rehabilitation. Classes of therapeutic and adaptive physical education, massages and other activities, supervision of specialists and taking medications can help the girl achieve her skills.

Mom Tatyana thanks everyone who helped in the collection for genetic analysis.

About the campaign

Need help paying for genetic analysis!

Vasilisa is not even two years old yet. Up to 3 months, a ventilator was breathing for the child, and only then, when transferred from the intensive care unit to the palliative ward, a tracheostomy was saved, which is still installed today. So that Vasilisa does not choke with accumulated sputum, a suction device works nearby. The girl has hoan nose syndrome - holes that should connect the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, the baby has overgrown. This is a congenital malformation. He was discovered immediately after the girl was born. Health problems do not end with Hoan nose syndrome. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is also on the list of ailments ... and, perhaps, something else, because the girl is developing very poorly: she cannot sit and walk. Doctors strongly recommend passing a genetic analysis so that treatment and rehabilitation will help the baby. But the family has no money for analysis, they ask for help.
