Sergey Meshcheryakov is a difficult patient. When the pandemic struck the world, the Meshcheryakovs' family received news: their son can barely hear anything, so he can't even pronounce "mom" at the age of five. Then came other news: Sergei's heart could stop at any moment.
The boy's treatment is complicated and has to be divided into several stages. A cochlear implant will help him get his hearing back. It is being installed by quota, and the Meshcheryakovs are already ready for the surgery. But the thing is that the boy's diseased heart cannot bear anesthesia and surgery. That is why it is necessary to "back up" him first.
In such cases, two surgeries are indicated at once: a left-sided sympathectomy and the installation of a defibrillator. The first one is paid, the second one is under the quota. Thanks to the support of 1,727 Tubers, the sum necessary to pay for the sympatectomy was collected. However, at the last minute, when Seryozha was already hospitalized, the doctors decided to switch operations. A defibrillator was installed for Sergei. Now he will get his hearing back, and the boy will undergo speech rehabilitation. And then he will undergo a sympathectomy surgery.
The Meshcheryakovs family would like to thank the benefactors who were not indifferent to their son's story.
"Thank you so much to everyone who supported the collection. We have a very long road of treatment and recovery ahead of us. With the defibrillator and on blockers my son is feeling well, but we really need a sympathectomy. It will help prevent the risk of sudden death. And we are glad that the funds for the operation have already been raised", - says Yana, the baby's mother.
Thank you to everyone who was part of this story and gave Sergei a chance for a long and full life.
