Hello to Olenka, the fund and our helpers. Thank you very much for the countless support you gave us with our Misha treatment!

In March we went to the Zaporozhe Pulmonology Center where Misha underwent a round of antibiotics and some other treatments. We had hoped that he would not go back to the hospital before September, but we were mistaken. In July my son had a high temperature and started to cough at night. We were told to go to the Lisachanski Pulmonology Center and stayed there until the 5th of August.

Despite the challenges we are not losing hope and we continue to carry out all the doctors’ recommendations. Misha tries to carry out all the procedures and exercises correctly. He is already old enough to understand the importance of his health and the need for massages and daily physiotherapy. Cystic fibrosis is a very difficult disease and we cannot stop fighting for even one day.

This summer my Mishenka had a new dream. When he grows up he wants to build a shelter for homeless dogs and cats. When we go on walks the animals must feel how strongly he loves them because they run up to him and he feeds them. I make sure to always have a small bag of food in my purse. I am so happy that Misha is such a kind boy and I hope that he can make his dreams become a reality. Most of all – I hope he is healthy. To everyone that has helped us – thank you very much and may God bless you for your kindness.

With respect,

Anna Bratushkina (Misha’s mom)
