Cognitive and motor. Since he was 18 months old, and is now 34 months old, he has undergone invasive examinations to detect the origin of this situation. Nothing." He is considered by doctors to be a "boy without a diagnosis," and as such, they do not encourage any type of treatment... In terms of symptoms, we can define some aspects such as: lack of balance and motor coordination, hyperreflexia, spasticity, and atrophy of the lower limbs (he still wears size 22 shoes). Cognitively, the delay begins to become more pronounced in the area of ​​communication and contextualization. Gaspar can say some words and short phrases but has difficulty communicating, becoming repetitive.... Ataxia is the disease where you best fit, with all these characteristics. Since August 31, 2011, Gaspar has been attending the Rarissimas association, which has offered to help only to try to slow the progression of this condition. He has physiotherapy/neuromotor rehabilitation sessions. Over this time, we have seen incredible improvements in posture and balance. He can walk, but with support, and has already lost some of the pronounced tremor he had in his hip. Therefore, and given everything we have witnessed, it is essential to continue these treatments. Unfortunately, we do not have any kind of state support for the sessions. At the moment, we spend 90 euros per week, 360 euros per month. Gaspar recently started Equine Therapy, as we believe it will improve his balance, posture, and socialization, which represents another monthly fee of 40 euros; not including travel expenses, which bring the total to over 550 euros per month. During the day, Gaspar stays with his father, as it is always necessary to take him to the treatments. In addition to Rarissimas, he also attends the UADIP (Early Diagnostic Assessment Unit), a state-run facility that provides free speech therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological support twice a week. So, let's say the boy has a very busy schedule, and that's why his father can't work. That leaves me, his mother, working 12 hours a day to support the household. At the moment, he is being "studied" at the Maria Pia hospital (metabolic diseases + neurology) and recently at S. João (neurogenetics). Until we can find out more about our son, we just want to keep him in treatment... which is becoming increasingly unbearable... at the Rarissimas Association they know how to deal with these rare cases. Gaspar needs to continue being followed there... Please help us continue our son's improvements. Any help is invaluable. Thank you very much.
