Chikarenko Kostiantyn, born on June 25, 2014, Dnipro

Diagnosis : damage to the central nervous system

An unexpected, healthy third pregnancy was hope for the future of the whole family, for the harmonious development of children and mutual help.

Before the third delivery, my mother underwent all kinds of screenings and tests. Kostik was born on time, weighing 3800 grams, and after a while, the doctors discharged the baby and his mother with a calm heart. True, the child's hands were clenched into fists, but even the neurologist reassured his mother: everything was fine!

But the relatives' fears only grew: in 3 months, Kostya did not learn to follow the toys when his mother approached, he did not smile immediately. After the examination, the doctors' verdict sounded like thunder in the clear sky: Your child is already blind. Lesions of the central nervous system".

Later it turned out that the doctors' conclusions were hasty: Kostyk's eyes are healthy. But the latest dopplerography showed that the language and visual areas do not receive nutrition.

Currently, the boy is developing with a great delay, but the work of rehabilitation specialists, speech therapists, and defectologists is yielding results: the problems are being solved. Kostya already knows how to sit and walk along the support, holding on to it. Walking becomes more and more confident, the baby stands up and squats by himself! The next step: you need to learn to walk with a movable support, for example, holding on to a wheelchair. He collects a pyramid, likes to play lotto, read books, draw and sing, in general, the prospects are excellent, provided he constantly works with good specialists.

The older sister, Ksenia, is learning the profession of a physical therapist in order to provide timely help to boys and help others in the future. But, at the moment, the family is in great need of support due to a difficult financial situation.

In a family with three children, the mother's schedule is scheduled hourly and often, the costs of timely implementation of the recommendations of specialists exceed all income.

At the moment, Kostyk needs to undergo a rehabilitation course in the educational and correctional center of TIM for the amount of 20,000.00 hryvnias.

LET'S CREATE GOOD TOGETHER!!!
