Anya is three years old, and all this time she has been struggling with a rare disease. Her health problems started before she was born - doctors even had to perform a caesarean section on her mother. Then it turned out that one of the baby's shins was a bit crooked. Doctors tried to fix the leg, prescribed massage, and promised that by a year everything would correct itself.
When Anya was 3.5 months old, in the Turner NIDOI in St. Petersburg, the doctor was alarmed by small coffee-colored spots on the girl's skin: such spots usually appear in a rare genetic disease - neurofibromatosis. After examination, the fears were confirmed. The disease also caused a bone problem - an intrauterine fracture and a mobile joint with fibrosis (congenital false joint) formed in its place.
The parents were told that surgery was necessary - but later, when the girl grows up. Until then, it will be necessary to wear an orthosis. It is a rigid device that cannot be removed even at night. It has always caused Ana great discomfort, but despite this, at one year and two months she was able to stand up and took her first steps.
Now Anya has one leg shorter than the other. The girl walks, but she limps a lot, and during walks she always asks for a hand or a stroller. For Anya to be able to explore the world on her own legs and not feel pain when walking, a complex and expensive surgery. Support Anya, give her an active childhood and the opportunity to walk without pain!
Поможем Ане не упускать моменты счастливого детства!
