Baby Silvija

Sikvija
Our little Silvija has been to the eye clinic in Switzerland for the 23rd time. We are sharing with you the wonderful news that Silvija's mother Ieva sent us:
"Every time I want to share information about Silvija's eyes, I realize that time flies at an uncontrollable speed. Starting with the fact that as soon as I return from the Junes Gonin Eye Clinic in Switzerland, where Silvija is undergoing a fundus examination, I immediately have to plan the next trip.
Remembering the past treatment path, I wonder how quickly 2 years have passed. A year in which there was a lot of hope, faith and indescribable gratitude to everyone .
We returned from the 23rd treatment visit in early July. The news is good and encouraging, her condition is stable.
Every time I have to wait in the doctor's consultation room and hear footsteps rushing towards the office, my heart beats to my heels. When I get news from the doctor, I immediately rush to Silvija. Waking up after anesthesia went smoothly. There was concern about the slowed heart rate during sleep, but when I woke up everything was fine. Next visit in 6 weeks.
Thank you all for your support and help!”
There is no cure for eye cancer in Lithuania, so our children are being treated in Switzerland. #MamuUnija helps families travel and ensure that treatment is available for their children.
We invite you to join the #MamuUnija community and help Silvija plan and receive the much-needed treatment in Switzerland:

Baby Silvija
As always, Silvija's family, who is being treated for eye cancer, returned with good news from Lausanne, Switzerland. This was her 20th trip.
"The trip went smoothly, Silvija is very actively interested in the world around her, despite strangers, she asks to be picked up, so the trip was really intense and tiring," - recalls her mother Ieva.
The woman was pleased that they are always greeted by a good-natured staff at the eye clinic.
"Before the fundus examination, an eye vision test was also performed, and the doctors are monitoring positive progress. After the examination, the news is good - the situation is stable. The next visit is scheduled in 4-5 weeks. Although treatment is not currently being applied, Silvija still needs intensive monitoring, so as soon as I can breathe after one trip, I have to prepare for the next one," shares the girl's mother.

Our Little Rusnyte

Rusnyte
"Who would have thought that such a long journey would be taken with so many thoughts, doubts, questions, and what's next," says Diana, the mother of Rusne, who has eye cancer.
The family welcomed the New Year with the seventh trip to Switzerland and the sixth birthday of Rusne's sister Meta
"Meta is Rusne's pillar, helper, listener during all trips", - smiles Diana.
On January 9, Rusne underwent a healthy eye examination and a check of the right eye socket, which is covered by a prosthesis made in Switzerland. This time, the mother remembers, Rusne's awakening after anesthesia was very fast and smooth.
"Before the eye examination with anesthesia, we traveled for an orthoptic eye examination, during which no changes were found in the healthy eye, which means that vision after the operation is still very good. We also had a consultation with an ophthalmologist-prosthetist on the same day, during which it was agreed that a new eye prosthesis would be made in June.
On January 10, we had to go to Chuv Hospital for a head MRI and we hope to get an answer this month. at the beginning of the week. It was nice to meet familiar nurses who asked questions about Rusne's treatment path and wished her a safe journey home.
I am very grateful to everyone who has contributed and continues to contribute to each of Rusne's journeys. Without your help, we would not be where we are now," Diana thanks.
We wish the beautiful family all the best!
