She was born a true little hero – weighing 4 kilograms and 55 centimeters tall. Her parents couldn't get enough of their little daughter, but there was one problem – their Emilia couldn't eat. And the reason for this was intestinal obstruction.
Intestinal obstruction is a deadly dangerous defect. With it, the connection between the duodenum and the small intestine is practically absent, and the appendix is non-functional. Food is unable to be properly digested and leave the body. Just 20 years ago, 70% of children like Emilia died. Today, however, a chance has appeared for them.
But let's return to the girl's story. An awaited pregnancy. Already having a son, Alisa and Yuriy were very happy about the arrival of their daughter. The mother gave birth naturally and took her home on the fourth day after giving birth. But joy there turned to anxiety. Their daughter couldn't eat because she constantly vomited. The pediatrician said: urgently to the hospital.
The hospital of the city of Mukachevo. Emilia is given glucose intravenously, but the child's condition only worsens. After two weeks, the parents decide to take their daughter to Kyiv, to the IPAG (Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology) – the only place where children with the most severe congenital malformations are saved. Just one X-ray is enough to confirm – the little one is suffering from intestinal obstruction, and the only chance to save Emilia is surgery.
For an hour and a half, the doctors meticulously repair the intestines of their tiny patient. Emilia is connected to a ventilator and taken to intensive care. The very next day, this strong girl takes an independent breath, then eats breast milk, and after some time – goes home.
Her life is now safe. Emilia's parents will be forever grateful to the doctors and #charity_chain, a joint project of "Tvoya opora" and Gusema Jewerly Charity Chain, within which their girl was provided with all the necessary расходные материалы (consumables) for the surgery and medications in intensive care.
