From birth to until Andryusha's health did not cause concern. The boy was developing normally, both physically and mentally. But after a year, the child was bombarded with diagnoses: autism, delayed psychomotor development, hyperactivity disorder, seizure disorder, epileptic disorder, and speech impotence.

They sought treatment everywhere and from anyone — specialists—pediatricians, psychiatrists, neurologists, geneticists, speech therapists, dolphin therapy, hippotherapy, massages, and swimming pools. Andryusha took a course of more than 30 medications. And nobody mentioned the cause of this condition. All these syndromes — are the result of something terrible that stopped Andryusha's speech development.

And only after consulting an immunologist in Kharkiv was diagnosed with a chronic herpes infection, an exacerbation, and immune dysfunction. Thus, it turned out that the child's severe condition was caused by the rubella virus, which damaged the body either in utero or after the DPT vaccine. The child has undergone two courses of difficult and expensive antiviral therapy (high doses of Geviran, Viferon, Cycloferon, Gerpimmune, Gammalin, and Groprinosin. The next stage is the incredibly expensive Bioven Mono treatment, which offers the hope of restoring the child's life today and a healthy future.

Andryusha's family cannot afford the expensive medications themselves as Andrey is raising his older son, Dmitry, alone.

The sick boy's family appeals to all caring people with a request for help and believe that this help will come and Andryusha will recover, because there are already a number of positive examples of immunoglobulin treatment (in particular, Bioven) of children with a similar diagnosis, and these happy children were able to attend a regular school.
