Seven-month-old Gagik is a very cheerful baby. Even the doctors entering the ward are greeted by the boy with a smile. As if he understands that they have come to help.
Gagik has a congenital immune deficiency. His body is defenseless even against innocuous infections. A month ago the boy ended up in intensive care with a severe form of pneumonia, which literally destroyed his lungs. Doctors fought for Gagik's life and for weeks he was breathing on a ventilator.
Today Gagik continues his treatment at a Moscow hospital. Gagik is getting better: after a month on artificial lung ventilation, doctors started breathing on his own, with oxygen support.
Besides antibacterial therapy, the boy has to undergo weekly injections of donor antibodies - immunoglobulins. As well as an expensive oxygen concentrator, which will support Gagik's lungs after discharge.
Dear tubers, we are collecting funds to purchase important medicines and an oxygen concentrator for the brave kid. Let's help Gagik recover together. Let him keep smiling!
