Boyana`s journey

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Boyana was born prematurely in the sixth month of pregnancy – a tiny miracle that from her first days touched the line between life and hope. She suffered a severe brain hemorrhage and underwent emergency surgery at Acibadem City Clinic Sofia, Bulgaria, which saved her from blindness. Later, she had a major surgical intervention in Serbia knows as Ulzibat-Method, where she was operated on at 19 different sites to reduce her spasticity

The diagnosis – cerebral palsy – is harsh and leaves traces, but hope remains.

This neuromuscular damage is irreversible, but it does not take away hope. The child's brain has an incredible ability to recover – to create new connections, to compensate for lost functions. Early and intensive therapy is the key, especially in the first 7–8 years, when the chances of progress are greatest.
Today, Boyana is responding wonderfully to treatment and has a real chance to get back on her feet, but only if the efforts continue. Every support means a new day in which she takes another bold step towards her future. ​

Cerebral Palsy Introduction
"Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a disorder of movement and posture that appears during infancy or early childhood resulting from damage to the brain. The damage to the brain is permanent and cannot be cured but the earlier we start with intervention the more improvement can be made.Any non-progressive central nervous system (CNS) injury occurring during the first 2 (some say 5) years of life is considered to be CP. There are several definitions of CP within the literature, although these may all vary slightly in the way they are worded they are all similar and can be summarised to:
Cerebral Palsy is a group of permanent, but not unchanging, disorders of movement and/or posture and of motor function, which are due to a non-progressive interference, lesion, or abnormality of the developing/immature brain[1].
This definition specifically excludes progressive disorders of motor function, defined as loss of previously acquired skills in the first 5 years of life."
