Five miracles

Last year, four miracles happened. And this year the fifth should happen

A miracle is not when they wave a magic wand. The philosopher Alexei Losev writes that a miracle is "the coincidence of empirical and eidetic." That is, all his life everything goes awry, and a miracle is when once in a life, for once, at least something went properly.

When a child develops from a small cell inside a woman, this is a miracle. And when, at the twentieth week of pregnancy, an ultrasound in the womb of the child is diagnosed with Spina Bifida, the hernia's hernia is a disaster, the child will be born in paralyzed.

But I talked with eight women who suffered this misfortune, and each told me that I looked at my stomach and thought: “Some miracle should happen now. Someone is magical to come now and fix everything inside. ” So they all think. And they think correctly. There is such a miracle.

There is a magical professor Martin Moguli in Switzerland, who, at the twenty -fourth week of pregnancy, operates in such children in intrauterine, and after the operation the pregnancy continues and the child is born healthy or almost healthy. Because the Almighty Lord in the great mercy of His grace gave us a fetal surgery, and neurosurgery, and anesthesiology - and generally brains to come up with all this.

Last year, four women from Russia went to Zurich, underwent an intrauterine operation and gave birth to children, or they are about to give birth. Alina Velikzhanina from Moscow gave birth to a daughter Masha. Lena Rassokhina from Komsomolsk-on-Amur gave birth to her daughter Lisa. Natasha Makarova from Vladimir was operated on and is waiting for her daughter Anya. Lena Redchina from the village of Fashchevka Lipetsk region is operated on and is waiting for her daughter Margarita.

Who performed these miracles? God? I believe that God. But in my memory, God never performed miracles, wielding lightning from the sky. He always made your hands.

You have collected four of the listed women almost nine million each for the operation. And the employees of the Spina Bifida charitable program accepted your money, transferred to the Swiss francs and sent to the Zurich children's hospital, not taking any commission. They arranged for all four examinations in Russia before departure, transferred all their documents to English, bought flights, found volunteers in Zurich to meet at the airport, found volunteers who could live twelve weeks between operation and childbirth. They arranged examinations upon returning home, visits of specialists, orthoses, rehabilitating classes ...

It was easier with Alina Velikzhanina, she is a Muscovite. She herself issued a visa and bought tickets. And Lena Rassokhina, Natasha Makarova and Lena Redchina before this Spina Bifida have never been abroad, never flew in airplanes and did not even have a foreign passport. It was necessary to literally be by the hand to take them to the Swiss consul, so that he would put a visa in ten minutes. We believe that in fact there are no borders? That in fact people are free to move freely throughout the Earth. And for once it happened. No consular lines. A minute - and you are in Switzerland. Miracle! Only in order to perform this miracle, you need as many as five employees of the Spina Bifida charity program.

Thanks to your money, they perform miracles. The examinations occur instantly. In any office, a pregnant woman is accepted as a native. After the operation, they take care of the woman. After giving birth, they take care of the child. So it should be! Miracle! Only in this miracle - the daily work of five people.

And after returning ... after returning - trouble. In Russia, there are catastrophically lack specialists, physical therapists and ergotherapists who would deal with children who have a diagnosis of Spina Bifida. One operation is not enough. Rehabilitating classes are needed.

And with these specialists, a man -made miracle unfolds before our eyes. People working in the SPINA Bifida charity program prepared documents (a whole mountain of documents) and won the presidential grant to train specialists to rehabilitate children with Spina Bifida. The grant pays for training itself, the classes of young doctors themselves. But someone must collect applicants from all over the country, conduct exams, draw up a schedule, take care of how the listeners will get to St. Petersburg, where they will settle.

Learning is a miracle. But in order to carry out a miracle, five SPINA Bifida program employees are needed.

Articles in magazines, stories on television, on the radio are published. Three years ago, in the Russian segment of the Internet, a woman with a diagnosis of the fetus Spina Bifida did not find anything, now she finds dozens of articles, contacts of people who are ready to help immediately. The number of pregnant women who seek help is growing a month from a month. Already in Russia, intrauterine operations begin to do. Not because there are more children with Spina Bifida, just less rejected, more and more women learn about what can be helped. Miracle! For once, fate does not make a lidding, but as it should.

Now the New Year. There should be miracles in the New Year, and we ask you to support them. Even a small donation for the Spina Bifida program can become part of a miracle. A monthly donation will make a miracle regular.
