Our Journey, Your Inspiration!
On October 10th my third child was born a baby boy. In Zakynthos, Greece my baby was 4.400kilos I think it is like 9 pounds . He was born with erb perlsy the doctors did not tell me till after 5 hours they said he had a problem with his right hand and he well be ok in 15 days. So I left the hospital and went home. I went after 5 days for the babys check up and the doctor told me you have to take the baby to a specialist because we do not have doctors on the island. I had to take my baby boy to Patra, that means an hour on a fairy boat and a 2 hour drive . The doctors in Patra said we can not do anything. They said He is small and move his hand a few times a day and if by 3 months he has not moved it we well have a suggery. I took my son 3 times to patra and i did research in the internet. I told the doctor I am not gonna have a surgery on my son. I took my son to Athens 2 months ago, that is a 5 hour drive and an hour on a boat, my baby was 3 months old the doctor said he is doing very good on 24 th december he picked up his hand. It was a wonderful Christmas gift. The doctor told me to keep on doing exercise with his hand and hopefuly he wont need a surgery and he wants to see him when he is six months to deceide what we are gonna do . My doctor , the gynaikologo, the guy who deliverd my son put a student to do the delivery with out telling me what was going on . I have been to lawers but because the greek system is very diffrent then the American i can not do anything. My doc. sees me and turns his head around like he does not know me. The lawers said only if your child is 100 per cent peralised then we well press charges. It's not about the money, it is about my son having a hard time and going through all of this because we do not have specialist on the island and having to travel every month is very hard .
