TOMS CAU\u0145A,
\n2.5 YEARS OLD, DOWN SYNDROME
\nToms is 2.5 years old, a very sweet and cheerful boy with Down syndrome. Toms is not developing like other children with this syndrome regardless of the various rehabilitation sessions.
\nAt 7 months of age he had heart surgery, which was rare and not typical for this syndrome. Having spent a month in intensive care due to complications, the boy had to relearn everything. During this time he underwent many different rehabilitation sessions and his development is gradually improving, there is noticeable progress. Nevertheless, at 2.5 Toms is still unable to stand on his feet due to muscle hypotonia; due to speech and psychomotor delay he still doesn\u2019t speak, cannot follow simple requests.
\nUpon the invitation of the society \u201cAutism Support Centre in R\u0113zekne\u201d, a neurologist from Saint Petersburg neurology centre \u201cPrognozMed\u201d visited R\u0113zekne, and having examined Toms, gave hope that with transcranial direct current stimulation and a complex course of treatment Toms will, too, one day say \u201cMom\u201d and \u201cDad\u201d, will be able to run together with his sister and brother and will continue making everyone happy with his charming and adorable smile.
\nBecause we are a family with many children, apart from the help for Toms, the family has many other expenses for the education and care for the other children, thus we are asking for the help of fellow humans, within their means, to donate funds for Tom\u2019s visit to Saint Petersburg for a 2 week rehabilitation session. We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who won\u2019t be indifferent and will lend a hand.
