Artemenko Polina

The girl was born on time, but as it turned out later, something went wrong during the birth, there was some mistake by the doctors, who did not attach any importance to it, without providing the child with any help. At 1.5 years old, the girl was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, spastic tetraparesis. Since then, the family has been fighting this disease... They were treated in various sanatoriums, but Polina's condition improved only when they tried treatment at the International Clinic for Restorative Treatment in Truskavets.

Since then, 8 rehabilitation courses have been completed there. In October 2013, Stryer's surgery was performed on both limbs. They visited the Brovar city center for social rehabilitation of disabled children. Classes with psychologists, speech therapists, defectologists, regular massage and physical education... Currently, the child does not walk, does not speak well. She began to sit confidently at the age of 2, after the first course of rehabilitation in Truskavets, she began to crawl. Doctors wave their hands, say that you need to exercise, the more the better...

In May 2017, an operation was performed in the Zhytomyr Regional Children's Hospital, lengthening of the tendons on both limbs. After that, Polina spent one and a half months in casts. It was not an easy road, but the result is there, a significant improvement is noticeable, the legs have become straighter, he can slowly stand up near the support. The tone decreased, spasticity became less.

From 1.10.17 to 13.10.17 Polina completed the 8th course of intensive rehabilitation at the International Clinic for Restorative Treatment in Truskavets. But you can't stop there, Polina needs more frequent rehabilitation, and the family is no longer able to raise such funds, only the father works, the mother does not work, as Polina needs round-the-clock care.

The family lives in Brovary, Kyiv region. in a rented apartment, most of the income goes to paying for housing. Polina has a younger sister who is 3 years old. Polina studies in the third grade, but because she can't walk, she studies at home, but she so dreams of going to school.... Polina is a very cheerful, diligent girl who dreams of living a full life! She really needs treatment!!!

LET'S CREATE GOOD TOGETHER!!!
