Braska #46-2

Girl, born 2009

Diagnosis: Cystic Fibrosis, caloric-malnutrition

 

Braska has an older brother who also has CF.  The children are in the same orphanage and must be adopted together.  We are currently awaiting updated information on the brother.

 

Braska has CF. She also has problems with her digestion and absorption of nutrients and is on a high calorie diet as a result. She currently takes the medications, Creon and Linex to assist with these issues, which are believed to be contributed to the CF.

 

Braska is developing well for her young age. She walks independently, crouches, sits and stands up on her own. She goes up and down stairs with support. She can throw a ball in a box. She draws vertical and horizontal lines with a pencil. She folds paper. Her speech is emerging. She pronounces combinations of sounds and syllables and will imitate short words. She follows verbal directions. She plays with toys. She enjoys playing hide-and-seek. She likes to dance while listening to music. She interacts with other children and adults appropriately. She laughs out loud when teased. She seeks out help from an adult when she needs it.

 

$207.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!
