Said was lucky - he was born into a big, close-knit family. And now he is the favorite baby of all his many brothers and sisters. Everyone in the family adores Said! How can you not love such a laughing baby?
His mother always smiles when she lovingly talks about her son: "He is very easy to make contact with anyone, even strangers. This helps us when we have to visit countless doctors and specialists. Said takes all these activities as a game, everything brings him joy. My son lives with an open heart and teaches all of us to overcome all of life's difficulties with the same ease. It was Said who taught me to appreciate the moment and to see the important in the small.
Too bad love alone isn't enough for parents to help their son. He has Spina bifida, a congenital malformation of the spine that leads to many health problems. Said, like all children with this diagnosis, has impaired functioning of the kidneys and urinary system. And to correct these problems the baby must necessarily undergo a comprehensive urological examination (CUDI).
Through this study, doctors will understand how to adjust the regime of the urinary system, and the boy does not have to wear diapers all the time. You should never delay with this examination - Said could have the most serious complications. His kidney function would be so severely compromised that it would be life-threatening for the baby.
But CUDI is not on the list of mandatory medical examinations that a child undergoes when a disability is established. Polyclinic doctors rely on standard examination protocols - blood and urine tests. This is why parents often learn about the necessity of undergoing an annual CUDI for a child with spina bifida from the staff of our foundation.
The Spina Bifida Foundation raises money to pay for the examination, which will help doctors understand how to treat the baby. To make Said smile more often!
