Appazali now walks right after surgery

Appazali, 20, from Kyrgyzstan, has suffered from a complex ailment since childhood. When he was 4 years old, he had shortness of breath and rapid fatigue, and at age 10, doctors sounded the alarm. The boy's condition was worsening. After numerous examinations, Appazali was diagnosed with grade IV neuromuscular thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis on the background of Emery-Dreyfus muscular dystrophy. This means that the spine is severely curved and weak muscles do not hold the body upright. Special appliances help keep the neck, back, and limbs in the proper position. Appazali cannot walk on his own. Due to health problems, the boy was homeschooled from the 4th grade, and then went on to study programming. But the disease progressed, so the family brought the boy to Moscow. The case is a complicated one. Doctors performed two surgeries in the hope of straightening at least his neck, but later, problems with his larynx began. It became difficult to swallow and breathe. The family realized they needed a drastic change in treatment and found a clinic in Turkey whose doctors agreed to admit the young man and try to straighten his spine. The surgery is complicated and expensive, but could significantly improve Appazali's situation. Despite his dependence on outside help at home, the boy has hobbies and dreams. He intends to finish his studies in programming and to be a full member of society, to be useful and not to depend at least financially on his relatives. Let's support the goal-oriented Appazali and make his life easier with a straight spine, which will gradually improve other health indicators as well. The surgery with Turkish doctors is a chance of life for the young man! The participation of each of you makes this chance real!
