Looking through usynovite.ru, I found something I did not expect. Children with untreated hydrocephalus. I thought shunts were standard procedure for decades already, but it seems that these kids are sentenced to die a slow, painful, and totally preventable death, as their heads get too heavy for them to hold up and their brains fail under the pressure of cerebro-spinal fluid.
I have been heartbroken by those pictures too.
ReplyDeleteSo preventable! Would Doctors Without Borders be able to go and perform shunts in these regions? Or some other charity?
ReplyDeleteLooks like by now some of these kids are.... gone.
