At the age of 1 year and 1 month, I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. We clung to every opportunity: we treated our son in St. Petersburg, Moscow. We regularly undergo treatment in Ulyanovsk. Due to retinopathy, two operations on the eyes were performed. Thank God they saved their sight. In 2014, I had an operation on my leg. In 2016, Stas underwent another operation.
