"During my pregnancy, we hid in the cellars with our eldest daughter"

views: 1030

Our daughter, one-year-old Sasha, has been fighting for life since birth. Brain anomaly, asthma attacks, epilepsy, and more - all that the child had to experience at such an early age.

Immediately after birth, doctors said that Sasha would not survive. She was born in time, but with entwined umbilical cord, causing hypoxia and asthma. Daughter was blue, began to suffocate on the second day. 

Then the child was taken to the intensive care unit, where Sasha layed for ten days under the Lung Ventilation devices. And because of the many pathologies only in 1 year and 8 months, she tries to make her first steps. She has brain abnormalities. Sasha is redarded in development, has epilepsy. Her medical record is thicker in a year than for many in their entire life. 

I see the reasons of her complications as the result of the stressful experiences during the fighting in Gorlovka. During pregnancy, I hid in the cellar with my elder daughter Violetta.

Sasha has recently started to sit up. She regularly takes anti-seizure medicines, in addition to this - stimulants for the development of speech, but we do not have enough money for the medications.
