The “crown” helps – baby had a stroke in the womb

It is not uncommon, because animal protection also becomes people protection. In this case, a Styrian woman had desperately applied for a grant for her cat’s surgery “as a last resort”. Because the cost presented them with an unsolvable problem. Only our research showed how incredibly important this animal is. It is her son’s goal in life. The young man suffered a stroke. Even as a baby. Still in the womb.

“We make the most of it”
It was only noticed after a normal pregnancy when he was not developing like other small children. The MR then showed that one half of the brain had been almost completely destroyed. “The world is collapsing, you can’t even grasp the contents,” the mother recalls. No stone was left unturned in the life of the single mother either. Because the boy was paralyzed on one side, has already had multiple surgeries, many ahead, spastic paralysis. “We’ll make the best of it,” says the mother, who is there for her son around the clock; which has already left physical traces.

There is nothing extra included. Like the surgery for the cat. Or a new television. The boy’s only “hobby” – whom we hear bitterly moaning during our visit that he wants to watch TV so much. It almost breaks your heart.

„Not that people hate us“
“But write that we don’t live in poverty and have a roof over our heads. Not that people are otherwise hostile to us.” Sad times when an afflicted mother has to say something like that, a woman no one would want to swap places with for even a day.
