Lisa
Maminova

Lisa was born at the 37th week of pregnancy. From birth until 8 months of age, no developmental abnormalities were observed in the girl: at 4 months of age she started holding her head, at about 6 months of age she began to turn over. But since 8 months Lisa had hemiparesis, and at about 11 months - tremor of the left arm, which then moved to the left leg and face. Liza had a hard time mastering new physical skills, but thanks to numerous rehabilitations, although with a big delay, the girl learned to sit down (at 1 year 2 months) and crawl (at 1 year 7 months). She started walking independently only at the age of three. 

The girl has been suffering from epileptic seizures almost since birth. Some of them have already been managed, but about once every 3-4 months Lisa had dangerous polymorphic epileptic seizures with loss of consciousness for 1-2 minutes. These seizures had a serious impact on the girl's condition and set back her development.

«We have repeatedly consulted in various clinics in Kazan, Moscow and other Russian cities. There was also a video consultation with specialists from France. The doctors» opinions are different. In Russia, the Burdenko Clinic offers surgical treatment with no guarantee of a favorable result. For me, as a mother, this is very scary. However, some Russian specialists and doctors from France, on the contrary, do not recommend surgery, they believe that in our case it is not indicated. They recommend medical treatment with the selection of drugs and rehabilitation measures. I started looking for a clinic abroad. Specialists from the hospital in Barcelona answered us and invited us to the examination. But the bill in their clinic for 16,690€ is unaffordable for our family. I'm raising the child alone and I'm trying to save all the money for the trip to Barcelona"

Friends, thanks to your kind hearts and the help of the company. TrafficStars At the end of June 2024, Lisa was examined at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Spain. The doctors diagnosed her with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The girl needs a hemispherotomy, a surgical procedure to dissect the connecting structures between the hemispheres of the brain, causing them to separate from each other but remain anatomically intact. This method of treatment is considered the most effective in Lisa's case and is necessary to stop the spread of epileptic activity. This surgery will help to reduce the frequency of seizures to 80% and give the girl the opportunity to develop fully.
