Dani's diagnosis of spina bifida (cleft spine) came as a "surprise" to everyone. When the boy was born, doctors saw a hernia on his back. The child's condition required immediate surgery. There were a few of these operations, and the baby was discharged from the hospital only two months later.
Danilu is now 2 years 9 months old. In spite of the difficulties he has gone through, he is growing merry, smiling and curious, showing his character. The little one likes to watch cartoons, play, and look at books. Dani does not have sensitivity in his legs, but he was able to learn to sit independently. He loves to ride in his active stroller, it replaces his legs.
Danila needs to be upright for normal development. Standing pose will distribute the load on the spine and hip joints and for the proper functioning of the internal organs. The Spina Bifida Foundation is collecting funds to purchase a special verticalizer for Danila. It is impossible to get it from the state, it is not on the federal list of technical equipment and therefore it is not included in the individual rehabilitation program.
Let's help Dani learn to stand!
