Welcome!

Welcome and let's get acquainted. My name is Natalia, I'm Masha's mom, and this blog will be about her. Masha is 3.5 years old and has cerebral palsy (hyperkinetic form/athetosis, secondary microcephaly).



Our daughter was supposed to be a healthy child, but at the last minutes of birth something went wrong, and as a result she was born in the hardest condition of acute asphyxia one step to death. Thanks to resuscitation, her heart began to beat again, but the brain managed to suffer a lot, in particular - the parts responsible for coordination, purposeful movements.

Masha is a smiling and cheerful child who understands and loves to learn a lot. But physically she cannot do anything without help: to sit, eat, walk, and also talk - but she talks with a look and mimicry. Almost every day since birth, Masha attends the classes to improve her ability to control a body.

We want to do everything for Masha to be able to control over her body and the enjoyment of her own movements. But, unfortunately, the road to this goal is much longer and more difficult than we could imagine. I will share this path on the pages of this blog.
