Emergency child. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Natalia has already ordered blood and everything necessary for the surgery; there was no time for fundraising. I believe that we not only need  to save Sophia, but her mother as well (as possible).
Sofia was born at 26 weeks gestation weighing 700 grams because of a major bleeding of her mother. Doctors did everything they can to save the 38-year-old woman. The reason for this turned out to be oncological. However, after the surgery, mother’s treatment was out of the question, all family’s money more directed at saving the long-awaited baby.

Sofia ia a real fighter. Now, at 6 months old, she weighs 4 kg. She eats and breathes by herself. However, because of the hemorrhage she developed hydrocephalus; and tomorrow our doctors will operate on her. To pay for Sofia’s treatment, we will need about 10,000-15,000 UAH ($470-$710).
As for the mother. She did not complain, even though the doctors only give her another 1-2 years. She’s fighting for her child. She also has a son waiting for her at home, Bogdan. They adopted him 5 years ago.

What she needs is medication. Alfarekin. A lot of it. It may extend her life for 5-10 years.

UPD 20 OCT 2015

Sofia has been taken into shunt revision surgery!

UPD 12 OCT 2015
She has spinal fluid build-up under the skin on her head. Most likely due to the disconnection of the shunt. Doctors will be checking what’s wrong. We don’t know what medication (and what else) will be needed.
However, I want to tell you about an amazing person — Elena Beleckaya. Not only did she actively help Sofia the last time she was at the Institute, but also paid for a full course of treatment for her mother!
Elena bought enough of the expansive medication to last for at least half a year!
Thank you!
It’s great to know that there are so many kind people out there!
