Andriska was diagnosed with heart failure and a brain aneurysm at week 19.
Continuous monitoring was started to prevent the little boy from having a stroke. At 37 weeks Andriska was born. He was admitted to intensive care after birth and was operated on the next day. It was necessary to implant a shunt to drain the brain water.
The last surgery was in November 2024, but the mr scan showed that this surgery has to be repeated every year or every six months.
On top of all this, he has to be fed via a tube and attend weekly physiotherapy sessions to relax his tight muscles and finally get some exercise.
In December 2024, the family will spend their first Christmas together with little Andriska. They continue to struggle and despite the difficulties, they hope that one day Andriska will be able to live a similar life, even if not as a child as her peers.

Let's help Andriska and his family together!
