When Umar was 3 months old, he began having epilepsy attacks, during which he stopped breathing. Especially often the seizures happened after waking up.
Doctors diagnosed him with epilepsy and prescribed medications. Over time, the body got used to them, and stronger medications were needed.
The parents went around to many doctors to get the exact diagnosis, Vesta syndrome. This is a severe form of epilepsy, accompanied by sudden spasms and delayed psychomotor development. In addition, Umar has cerebral palsy.
The boy is now 8 years old, and he does not walk or talk. Regular rehabilitation is needed to help him.
Let's help Umar with his next class, which will put him on a standing aid. God willing, Umar will be able to keep his back straight and stand with support! This is a significant step on the way for the child to learn to walk!
Activities at the rehabilitation center for Umar are chosen individually, since it is important not to cause epilepsy attacks. Treatment will go smoothly, without stress for the child and will be focused on the development of motor functions.
Despite the pain of epileptic seizures and constant medication, Umar remains a good-natured and cheerful child. Like all children, he deserves to enjoy childhood, actively play with friends and explore the world around him.
You and I can make a difference in Umar's health and life. Let's give Umar hope!
