Little Yevhenia has a serious condition and cannot swallow, so she must be fed through a tube. Help her child receive rehabilitation!

Yevhenia Lepetailo is two years and eight months old. She is the third child in her family. She was born prematurely at 32 weeks gestation. Immediately after birth, it was found that she could not swallow on her own and had apnoea and other breathing issues. Yevhenia was on a ventilator for the first 10 days of her life.

When she was six months old, she began experiencing seizures. She later developed genetic epilepsy and pseudobulbar syndrome. She was prescribed anticonvulsant therapy with hormone injections. At 9 months old, Yevhenia went into remission. Since then, no epileptic activity has been recorded on the EEG.

She is actively involved in physical rehabilitation and has made significant developmental progress over the past year and a half, including starting to walk independently. However, muscle hypertonicity negatively affects her gait, so she lacks confidence when walking. She still cannot swallow and is fed through a nasogastric tube.

She has been working diligently with rehabilitation specialists throughout this period. Yevhenia is a very gentle girl. She loves musical toys, building pyramids, walking, and playing on playgrounds. To continue her development, she needs regular rehabilitation. Support Yevhenia and her family!
