Story
Timofey was born on 4th July 2015 in St. Petersburg, Russia, following healthy and easy pregnancy. After 8 hours of labour his mother Yulia was looking forward to hear his first scream, but it never came. Timofey wasn't screaming nor breathing. He was taken to intensive care where he spent first month of his life. His body was cooled for first 4 days to bring brain temperature down to slow the rate at which brain cells die, but the miracle didn't happen. Timofey was diagnosed with severe brain damage and later epilepsy. His parents were told that Timofey will not be able to talk, walk, sit nor crawl. Doctors in Russian hospital suggested " leaving him at an orphanage and try for a healthy one".
Timofey is denied any rehabilitation in Russian hospitals until his epilepsy is under contr. His parents are paying for private doctors and rehabilitation courses. After 8 months of trying to reduce the seazures Russian doctors failed to find the correct medicine and Timofey 's parents started to fundraise for treatment in Spain.
They collected enough for him to be there for the whole year and after 4 month in Spain The new correct medicaments helped the seazures to disappear for the last 2 months! This little boy was working very hard, 4 hours daily in his rehabilitation course and the results were so promising. His muscles became relaxed, he smiles all the time now.
But last week Tim was taken to intensive care with pneumonia. A little piece of food got into his lungs and started inflammation. Emergency actions were taken to save his life and he is on the way of recovery now. Unfortunately this emergency hospitalisation will come to the cost of around 20 000 eur. This will slash Tim's rehabilitation budget and he will have to go home without completing his course! If he goes back now his seizures are most likely to return as 2 of the medicines he is taking now are not certified in Russia.
Please take part in Tim's journey to better quality of life he deserves!
