INTEGRATED ROAD
Emma’s own mother spoke about the difficult journey they had to go through as a family. At six months old, her daughter was diagnosed with severe collapsed hydrocephalus and became paralyzed even before she was admitted to the ward. “They installed a valve in his brain that diverts blood to the peritoneum, our journey began, we became patients of Telethon and gradually progressed,” he said. “In 2017, his valve failed and had to be replaced. In 2018, she was diagnosed with epilepsy, then everything was more complicated. The treatment didn’t help. Emma was electrocuted while she was awake every three seconds and asleep every second,” he adds. “It was a long and difficult journey, in 2022, this epilepsy turned into encephalopathy due to epilepsy, refractory epilepsy, as a result of brain shutdown for several hours, she was hospitalized, she lay 10 days in the intensive care unit and in order to improve her condition, she corticosteroids were administered and she began to use them in high doses as a treatment to reduce discharge. It didn’t work, and Emma developed severe heartburn so severe that she was hospitalized for several days. It took us three months to get over it,” he says.
POSTULATION
“Then on March 28, she had a severe headache and a major disconnect, she was hospitalized again and we had to operate on her because she had lost so much cerebrospinal fluid that the left side of her brain was practically vacuum sealed. She was operated on again. A motor was placed on its valve. In parallel, since his brain condition was still complicated, a genetic test was done and he left for Germany. In June, the result came: a mutation of the KCNT1 gene. We started to look for more stories in the world of children with this mutation to find out if there are other treatments, any alternatives,” Zayda said. This was the birth of the idea and the help of friends in applying to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “We were recently accepted, although they said that Emma’s case is incurable if they can study it and find an alternative to it,” he stressed. Hence the importance of being able to gather resources so that little Emma can be evaluated by the doctors of the aforementioned medical institution.
