Eight-month-old Ruslan loves everything that makes funny sounds - rattles, squeakers, rustlers. The baby likes to lie down and hum, smiling at bright and tinkling toys. This at least for a while distracts the boy from the pain.
Ruslan was born with severe combined primary immunodeficiency - a genetic mutation, a rare breakdown in immunity. Any, even the most innocuous infection can cost the baby his life, because his own immune system is virtually dysfunctional.
In the spring, Ruslan underwent a bone marrow transplant. Transplantation of donor cells is the only chance to stop the development of severe complications and chronic inflammation. Fortunately, most of the material successfully took root. But to prevent a rejection reaction, the baby is in vital need of expensive supportive medication.
Dear tubers, please help us to raise funds and buy important medicines for Ruslan. May he recover from the surgery and come home soon!
ИнШаАллах Русланчик справится с этим испытанием!
