Tigran successfully completed a rehabilitation course at the Second Sun Medical Center. We remind you that he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at birth. Thanks to your support, four-year-old Tigran underwent rehabilitation, which brought significant improvements.

During the course, it was possible to improve muscle tone in the back and lower limbs, as well as increase the range of active movements in the joints. The development of the support capacity of the lower limbs significantly increased, which allowed Tigran to move confidently.

Tigran needs to undergo a rehabilitation course

Tigran was given a terrible diagnosis at birth - neuroblastoma. The first chemotherapy was done when the baby was exactly 40 days old.

My heart broke every time I saw my boy suffer, but I could not help him in any way. I still can’t talk about it calmly, it hurts me,” says Rosa, Tigran’s mother, sharing her revelations.

The doctors immediately ruled out the possibility of surgery, as they were afraid that they would affect the nerve endings, and the baby would remain bedridden for life - there was more risk than benefit. In total, the boy underwent three courses of chemotherapy, which were given to him at intervals of two weeks. The treatment showed results - the tumor does not grow. But, unfortunately, because of it, the child cannot sit, stand, or even walk. Only rehabilitation can help, the previous ones have already shown positive dynamics: Tigran partially took control of his body.

At the moment, Tigran needs the following rehabilitation measures: therapeutic massage, physical therapy classes using the Bobath therapy method and with elements of SME.

Unfortunately, the family does not have the opportunity to pay for rehabilitation on their own, and Tigran does not have time to wait. The boy is in dire need of rehabilitation now, everyone's help is important to him. With your support, Tigran has a chance to walk on his feet soon!
