"Hanna's story
After nine beautiful, except for a little heartburn two difficult months, the big day came faster than expected. Two weeks before the deadline saw our daughter Hanna in the morning of the 13th March 2002, the light of the world. The initial investigation showed that Hanna kerngesund. From the strains of birth exhausted they slept much.

But one day later, our joy heavily tarnished. Already on the morning of the 14th Hanna March was very tearful and whined at each location change. In the afternoon, they no longer wanted to drink. As the late afternoon of scoliosis and completely lacked Annas eyes showed a nystagmus, the pediatrician called. During the investigation, he could not find a precaution but had the baby ambulance call for Hanna to a hospital with a newborn station to relocate. Once there, we found that it acted to prevent infection, which immediately treated with different antibiotics. Hanna was based on the children's intensive care unit. The next day we were told that Hanna serious meningitis caused by pneumococcal would. The next day Hanna spent in the incubator and fought for their tender lives. To her pain, she was sedated. Yet they twitched with each touch. Ernährt was over a stomach probe.


On 16 March Hanna was the first time her cot and leave at Mama "känguruhen". A great experience for both!

After just one week on the Hanna was premature station, where they first few days sedated in the heat cot lag. After discontinuation of sedation Hanna was still another two weeks with antibiotics.

When ultrasound studies of the brain in those days were fluid bearing visible.
Coinciding Annas also began sleeping problems. Even in the hospital, she was awake a lot and came very badly to rest. These problems until today. But more about that elsewhere.

After 4 weeks Hanna finally was allowed to go home. All thought now would be all in order. The dismissal was there, Hanna had the disease and stay in hospital a large backlog. We should give it some time.

But when Hanna also with 12 weeks in the head only in one direction and shot him in abdomen could not lift, we began to think. The Orthopädin the hips examined Hanna prescribed physiotherapy after Vojta. Only the physiotherapist ventured, after a few dates of a development delay. But we all hoped that the delays would eventually repealed.


Only much later we could admit that Hanna is not normal. Hanna turned his head in the direction of a noise source. But if they are familiar voices heard, showed it as a reaction lautloses laughter. She could look but no contact. Hanna wanted to constant physical contact. On their blanket they felt alone and was already at Hinlegen veritable panic. Offered toys they are not considered and tried not to take effect later. Always had a familiar person (Mom, Dad or Grandma) in its immediate vicinity and be with her. On foreign persons or only sekundenlanges let alone responded with fierce shouting, in which they hineinsteigerte so it turns blue to start.

Today, we know that because of their Hanna meningitis a cerebral palsy. Through consistent rehabilitation and employment much with her she makes little progress. You can now short time maintain eye contact and turns (albeit with a time lag) at the head noises. Meanwhile, it also remains times for a few minutes alone on the crawling blanket, in their tent or in the seating bowl, without directly to scream. But self-employed may still not."
