Olya Shevchenko

Olechka is a very long-awaited and desired child. Nothing foreshadowed trouble, but she went into premature labor at 30 weeks of pregnancy. Her lungs opened, but they were very immature, so artificial ventilation had to be used. Olya was taken to the intensive care unit for premature babies, where she was on a ventilator for 8 days, had to undergo a blood transfusion and was treated with very strong medication.

Then her condition stabilized. She was breathing on her own, all her reflexes were normal. When the girl was transferred from the intensive care unit, her mother's joy knew no bounds. They stayed in the neonatal care ward, where Olya gained weight, and when she was 2 kg, they were discharged home. On the day of her discharge from the hospital, Olya was vaccinated with BCG, as she was considered a healthy child and had no contraindications. But this could not be done categorically. They were given recommendations for follow-up with doctors after discharge Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

My mother took these recommendations very seriously, every month she had her hearing and eyesight checked, and an ultrasound of her brain was done. And everything seemed to be under control, but .... After a while, at home, the muscle tone began to increase, she stopped swallowing food, and cried constantly. When the mother and baby once again came to see a pediatric neurologist, it was found that the child's intracranial pressure began to rise, strabismus appeared, and cortical epi-activity was detected. And endless examinations and treatment in hospitals began. Olya needs constant anticonvulsant medication and regular intensive rehabilitation. The girl has a chance for recovery, having completed 15 rehabilitation courses.

Today, Olya is able to roll over, crawl like a scout, and tries to stand up with a support. Her speech is slowly developing. She is learning to eat with a spoon. And for mom, this is a great victory. But in order not to rest on her laurels, she needs to work hard and continue the child's rehabilitation. The mother is raising her daughter alone. She counts only on her strength and the help of caring people. Olya's mother hopes for our support!!! Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

At the moment, another course of rehabilitation at the International Center for Rehabilitation and Neurophysiology “I Am” is needed for a total amount of UAH 30,000.00.

LET'S CREATE GOOD TOGETHER!!!
