Intensive therapy for Mina: better quality of life
Mina had a severe cerebral hemorrhage after birth. The cerebral palsy also causes recurrent seizures. Although Mina can walk and talk, she is restricted on the right side of her body. Her cheerful nature makes her the ray of sunshine in our family and in her environment. Thanks to her strong will, she has already achieved a great deal. With the two weeks of intensive therapy at the Adeli Center, we as parents are convinced that we can significantly improve her overall development and provide her with the best possible support.
Mina's life
Mina's start in life was turbulent and very emotional for us as a family. One day after her birth, she had a severe brain haemorrhage and spent the first month in the neonatal unit. There was a lot of uncertainty every day. But we also had a lot of confidence, hope and positive thoughts right from the start. Her older brother Fynn is very supportive and we are very grateful for that. As a family, we always manage to bring as much "normality" as possible into everyday life alongside all the therapies. However, this also requires a lot of creativity and flexibility. Mina's situation has worsened over the past year and she keeps complaining of pain when walking. Her pointed foot is getting worse and worse. We see therapy as a great opportunity to improve this. So that Mina can move without pain and doesn't lose the joy of movement.
Mina's illness
Hemiparesis is a paralysis of one half of the body in which residual activity may still be present. There is a reduction in strength in the face, arm and leg in one half of the body. In Mina's case, the hemiparesis was caused by a brain haemorrhage after birth.
Mina has the following symptoms:
SYMPTOMS
- impaired sense of balance
- Spasticity on the right side of the body (arm and leg)
- Dystonia (involuntary movement disorders)
- Seizures
- Visuomotor weakness
- Concentration and learning difficulties
Mina's family thanks for your donation
We hope that Mina will always remain so cheerful and positive. She wants to accept as little help as possible and continue to be independent. We became aware of the therapy through other affected families who have had positive experiences. This makes us feel very positive and we are convinced that it adds value for us as a family. The aim is to travel to Slovakia once a year.
On behalf of Mina, we would like to thank you for every donation!
