Katusha Zhirnaya. A small, seriously ill ward of our foundation. The girl has microcephaly and a complex form of cerebral palsy combined with frequent epilepsy attacks. The whole life of Katusha's family is a struggle for the children's lives. In addition to her seriously ill daughter, the girl's older brother is also ill. The boy…
For three months now, Sonya and I have been living in the oncohematology department. And every day my baby doll asks me the same question - Mom, won't they hurt me today?
You have no idea what it is like to look into your child's eyes and try to evade the answer...This is how to tell your darling little girl that it is going to hurt for a long time and that you have to be patient to get better. All this time being in the ward she had to go through so much. I remember with horror the complications after the first course of chemo - Sonia got horrible stomatitis, she could not drink, eat or talk, she constantly experienced terrible pain in the tummy, she had high temperature, and there is so much more to come that I can't even think about. I pray to God that it was easier to carry him.And in general, she is strong! Recently after another puncture she said - "Mom, when I grow up I will become a doctor and invent a cure for cancer (where did she hear that word), so kids all over the world will never get sick again.
God, my brave little girl decided to save the world from cancer... My golden, kind child. She also dreams of seeing the Eiffel Tower. I believe she will! I wish we could get through this, I wish we could live through this... Many thanks to everyone who is helping. I didn't even expect that so many people would respond to our grief.
Thank you all for your support! Thank you for not giving up on us....
