Mirlan needs rehabilitation after treatment for a brain tumor

Myrlane dreams of riding his favorite cat on a bicycle. But first he has to learn how to keep his balance while walking. Mirlan breathes with the help of a tracheostomy. All of this is a consequence of treatment for a brain tumor. Regular rehabilitation courses help him recover.

Mirlan was born a healthy baby. The mother was worried that the boy was late to walk independently, she turned to the doctor. The result of the examination was shocking - an inoperable brain tumor.

Mirlan was prescribed proton therapy. After the treatment, Myrlane felt well. But a few days later he suddenly began to suffocate. Mirlan ended up in intensive care on a ventilator. A month later he was planned to have a tracheostomy and to be taken off the ventilator. But due to improper adjustment of the machine, oxygen suddenly stopped flowing. A few minutes were enough for Myrlane to suffer brain cell damage. "My son couldn't even hold his head up. Thanks to constant rehabilitation courses, Myrlane has started to come back to life, but we can't stop," says his mother.

Rehabilitation will help him stand firmly on his feet again. Classes with a speech therapist will help to strengthen breathing muscles. For Mirlan it is a chance to live without a tracheostomy, which means to restore his speech. The rehabilitation course is expensive. Mom cannot cope alone.

Everyone's help is invaluable!
