I am Mrs.Meera Bung special parents of special child.
Cerebral palsy is one of the most dangerous disease around. Cerebral palsy is a group of problems that affects body movements and posture .It is related with brain injury or with problems at birth. Due to this disorder, brain development delayed. It is one of the most common causes of spasticity disability in children. My daughter,Krishna is suffering from diplegic cerebral palsy. When krishna was one year old,she couldn't hold her neck and rollover. Her body was very stiff. As she was growing up,number of problems also increased like swallowing, sitting, sensations, vision, speaking. When she turned four ,she couldn't stand and walk. When we enrolled her in school ,then we noticed that she was not able to read,write, understand as well as not even able to see what's written on the black board. We started physiotherapy and training of every activity upto 9 to 10 hours daily. Botox treatment and some surgeries has been done on her legs in Hyderabad. After days training and physiotherapy her condition began to improve and to a greater extent. We increased the training hours to 14-15 and saw some positive results in her activities after long period of time and hard work. Now, I can say that Krishna has become a normal child. She is studying in std 12 th Std and preparing for NEET .She was passed out 10th std in Podar International School, ICSE by 88.4 persentage.She is able to dance,swim,cycle and play chess very well. Krishna got many prizes in various competitions competing with normal children.She was playing Dandiya continous for an hour in Navratri Utsav. It was amazing view for me ,because i came from that time where she wasnt even able to stand. I have converted my problems to great opportunities in my life. So people knows me as KRISHNA 'S MOM instaed of my name. MY DAUGHTER KRISHNA IS NOT ONLY FIRST CHILD IN THE COUNTRY BUT SHE IS THE FIRST CHILD IN WHOLE WORLD WHO HAS RECOVERED IN CEREBRAL PALSY. And this has been recorded in UNIQUE WORLD RECORDS. Now I guide disabled children and their parents and have motivated many other people.I arrange many medical camps for parents and children suffering from this with the help of doctors - Dr A K Purohit and Dr Taral , where the parents are guided about the journey and dedication which CP demands. Also these camps are free of cost. I cant call it a full time job but i do parent counselling most of my time left. I encourage parents that if my child can come out of this , then so can yours. I help them with different types of government policies which we all know can be critical and tricky sometimes. It is great result of hard work 14 to 15 hours daily for 15 years continuously, dedication and sacrification. For this project we got many Awards and appreciation.
