A new gastrostomy tube and nutritional mixtures have been delivered to Indira!

During her small 5-year life, Indira was treated in a dozen hospitals, spent 12 days on a ventilator, and underwent several surgical interventions. She has epidermolysis bullosa, a genetic disease that disrupts the strength of the skin, and in severe cases, like Indira's, also the mucous membranes. Bandages protect Indira's delicate skin from damage as much as possible, but the situation is more complicated with the protection of mucous membranes. Meals were the most worrisome. Indira underwent surgery to dilate her esophagus twice, but had difficulty swallowing and gaining weight. A gastrostomy was applied to the girl and therapeutic nutrition was introduced with the addition of special high-calorie mixtures. A miracle happened: Indira began to grow and develop rapidly. There were no problems with nutrition for three years. But the gastrostomy began to leak over time, and now it is very important to quickly replace the gastronomical tube. Timely assistance will eliminate the possibility of irreversible metabolic disorders and give the girl a chance to develop normally. The Butterfly Children Foundation opens a collection for a new gastrostomy tube for Indira and a nutritious mixture with a high content of proteins and calories so that the girl can grow up keeping up with her peers. Only together we will overcome everything!
