Date of birth: 24.05.2018
The pregnancy was very desirable, but in the first weeks when the brain was formed, mother of Alisa, Galina, had suffered from a lot of stress. Her mom had been diagnosed with stage four of cancer. Operation, chemotherapy, work (Galina was a flight attendant on the international flights). The future mother felt bad that time, but she thought it was because of the worries, a sharp respiratory viral infection carried, fatigue and stress. When she heard about the pregnancy the happiness was endless!
The world has changed! All problems seemed to be solved and temporary. The future mother has completely focused on her little tummy. Being both legs on the ground, she felt the sense of flying with happiness! Together with her husband she attended a course for young parents, prepared for joint childbirth, walked in the fresh air and did fitness.
The second trimester of pregnancy started with complications – elevated tone. In the third trimester a patient was diagnosed with a premature placental insufficiency, Grade 3, a hydrocephalus and agenesis of the corpus callosum of the fetus – these diagnoses were given for the baby in the mother’s womb
After Alisa was born, she went straight to the hospital emergency room. The baby could not eat, she suffered from the vomiting, she was feeding through the probe …In a few days, in an ambulance with sirens Alisa was moved to the National Children’s Specialized Hospital of OHMATDET (Kyiv), where she spent one and a half months of her life. Every ambulance carriage has been carried out with an anxiety in Galina’s heart ever since, if we’d miss it, if we could… Antibiotics, medicines, oxygen drops, cramps – it was too exhausting for the young mom. She had a desire to wake up from a nightmare and just to sleep. She wished to keep small daughter in her arms knowing she’s fine, to feel joy, not looking 24 hours at the tiny, catheter-made body of her lovely daughter connected to the various machines.
From the first day at home mother had daily exercise with her daughter: gymnastics, fitball exercises, bathroom swimming. There were massage courses with a specialist.
