Timothy
Goptenko

Timofey has a disability and from the first days of his life the boy needs constant monitoring of his health.

Timofey was born at 38 weeks. The labor was rapid and complicated. As a result of intrauterine hypoxia and birth trauma, the boy had a cervical subluxation, hypertonus of the limbs, tremor, and stomach problems. Brain and nervous system damage occurred. At the age of 3, the boy was diagnosed with a disability.

Timofey's diagnosis: G 93.8 Other specified lesions of the brain and nervous system. Residual encephalopathy with autistic spectrum behavior. And this is not a complete list.

Timosha did not speak a word for a very long time, did not eat independently, had a lot of physical and mental problems. After long examinations and almost daily rehabilitations, which the boy continues to this day, Timosha's condition began to improve, and by the age of 5 he finally spoke. The joy of new victories, unfortunately, was short-lived. At the age of 6, Timosha faced a new adversity: on the MRI results, the neurologist saw an aggressive cyst in the boy's brain. It was pressing on the cerebellum and literally threatened his life. They decided to remove the cyst.

The surgery has made a difference in the boy's development: so far, the autistic spectrum has gone. But after the operation, complications arose: headaches, vomiting, food intolerance and immunodeficiency. They literally wore this wonderful and bright boy down, robbing him of the joy of life. The parents did everything possible to help their son, showed him to the best specialists in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but the doctors could not see any reason for the boy's condition.

Thanks to your kind hearts and the help of the company. TrafficStars Timosha was able to undergo an examination at the Sant Joan de Déu Children's Hospital in Barcelona. The boy was given a program that included neurosurgical, neurological, ophthalmological and neuropsychological examinations. The boy's brain is absolutely healthy. Doctors believe that Tima does not have autism, he has a borderline level with the norm. The boy will eventually catch up with his peers, but a persistent correctional route is needed, and then by adolescence Timothy will be able to get rid of headaches.

Thank you very much, friends, for this great and kind deed, which helped the Goptenko family to know the answers to very important questions.
