Ivan
Pozdnyakov

Vanya was born on August 10, 2006 as a healthy baby. He developed and grew like all other children. When he was one year and 6 months old, Ivan got a rotavirus infection with a high fever, and a week after he recovered, epilepsy attacks started. His parents immediately turned to neurologists, medications were prescribed, a long course of medication selection was conducted, but no improvement was observed.

Each time after the introduction of a new drug or dose increase, there was a short period of improvement, but after habituation to the drug, the attacks resumed.

In February 2011, Ivan was granted the status of a disabled child. In 2012 and 2014, the boy underwent surgeries at the German Schon Klinik, after which his health condition improved and he was able to go to the first grade of a comprehensive school.

However, in March 2017, there was a sharp deterioration of the condition. The attacks of the disease began to reach up to 5 times a day. Ivan finished 3rd grade, but the severity of the disease made studying almost impossible. Doctors assumed the formation of a new focus in a hard-to-reach place in the brain.

Thanks to your support we managed to raise 12,283 € for a diagnostic examination in Schon Klinik (Germany) in order to identify the causes of the deterioration of health and to choose the method of further treatment.
