Friends, thanks to your help, the family has received several parcels with everything necessary for the intravenous nutrition of the girl and thanks everyone for their support.

Four-year-old Nastya underwent several operations due to intestinal obstruction, surgeons removed part of her small intestine. There are only 70 centimeters left, and this is three times shorter than it should be. That's why Nastya doesn't digest ordinary food at all right now. In order to grow, gain weight and generally live, the baby needs to eat through an IV drip for 15 hours a day. This is the only way proteins, fats, carbohydrates and the whole set of vitamins get into her body. Nastya is recovering and growing on intravenous nutrition, and her intestines are gradually growing. This means that in the future the girl will be able to do without ivs. In the meantime, Nastya needs a supply of parenteral nutrition and supplies at home. And now, thanks to you, friends, the family has it!

"My daughter has been on intravenous nutrition since birth. At first, Nastya was connected to an IV drip for 24 hours, then 20, and now it's been 15 hours. Of course, we dream of the time when her intestines will grow to normal size, and ivs will be a thing of the past. It's good that there are kind people around who supported our gathering. This greatly strengthens the faith and dream of her daughter's health. Thank you very much," says Anna, Nastya's mother.

Now mom and Nastya are in the hospital, undergoing another routine intestinal examination. According to preliminary results, he is developing normally, no pathologies have been identified. We believe that everything will be fine for the baby, and she will fully recover! Tubers, thank you for sending packages not just with food, but, without exaggeration, with vitality for Nastya!

About the campaign

Nastya has short bowel syndrome, she needs IVs with intravenous nutrition

The intestines of four–year-old Nastya are three times shorter than they should be - only 70 centimeters. Therefore, Nastya's usual food is not digested, and in order for her to grow and develop, she needs therapeutic nutrition, which she receives through a vein.

Even in infancy, Nastya underwent several operations due to intestinal obstruction, as a result, she now has short bowel syndrome. Everything we get with food – vitamins, fats, and nutrients – is not available to Nastya in the usual way, and therefore the girl spends 15 hours a day connected to a drip, through which therapeutic nutrition is supplied.

In addition to the nutrition itself, the child needs various medical devices for ivs and a large list of medications every month. Nastya has a mini hospital room at home: her mother has mastered all medical manipulations, and even her older sister went to a medical school specifically to take care of her younger sister.

Nastya is growing every year, and her small intestine is growing with her, which means that by school, perhaps, the girl will be able to do without ivs for at least a whole day and lead a normal lifestyle. In the meantime, a rack with a three-meter wire, on which a bag of “food” is fixed, stretches behind Nastya to every corner of the house.

In order for the girl to continue to grow and develop, you should not take breaks from treatment. But, alas, not all of the medicines, consumables and food prescribed by the doctor can be obtained by the family under the compulsory medical insurance policy. Let's help Nastya grow up!
