Mimic rehabilitation for Sveta was a success!

You helped to pay for a course of classes with a rehabilitator for Sveta Okhapkina. The girl was born with an immobile face. Facial nerve reconstruction surgery was the only way to restore Sveta's facial expressions. A muscle and nerve from the child's thigh were grafted into her right cheek. After that Sveta was given a course of rehabilitation: she has to learn to raise her eyebrows, smile and blink. All this will allow the face to become alive and mobile. Thanks to you Sveta has passed the next stage of recovery. "The rehabilitator worked well with Sveta through the whole program. My daughter has seen improvement: her lips have become symmetrical, her eyes are completely closed during sleep, and her vision has improved. I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart every person who helped my daughter. Thank you for your kind hearts! Svetochka is the ninth child in our family, and the help provided is very significant for us," says mom Victoria. To keep the momentum going and improve her results, Sveta does facial motor gymnastics every day. She also says a lot of cursive words to make her speech and facial expressions even better. Thank you so much for your help to the Ohapkins family!
