Amazing news!

Thanks to Mayche from Serbian Café we’ve been able to get in touch directly with Dr Nath and he’s promised to help us out!

Dr Nath is visiting Florida in May and June and will be doing free patient evaluations. Mayche has invited us to stay with her and see the doctor for the consultation, because it certainly means so much more to see him in person. As it was, we had only spoken with answering machines and assistants. Mayche said she got the feeling this was a really kind man and was convinced he’d help us. And she was right: when she wrote to the hospital to request a formal invitation for the evaluation in Florida (which we need in order to get our US visas), Dr Nath replied personally and said he wants to see us and look at Jana personally. He also said he’d help us out as much as possible, and that he’d figure out a way to work it out for us.

Mayche and I were speechless, shaking with excitement and joy.

I can’t describe the feeling, I could not speak, I was just trembling and staring at Jana who was sleeping peacefully…

I couldn’t stop the tears, the only thing my husband and I kept saying was “God is hearing our prayers, we’ll save our Janka, we will!”

My one request to you all is if you could possibly help us out financially as much as you can, and forward the link to this blog to everyone you know, so we can raise as much money as possible and be ready to discuss the surgery with the doctor. Thank you all so much, dear friends, and thank you to the moderators at Serbian Café who’ve kept our story at the top of the page, because that’s where it all started.

Big kisses to all of you!

Jana’s Mum Milica

Here we are, back from Zlatibor! The treatments are over and we're very happy! I am using my arm so much more, and can raise it all the way above my mouth now, which I couldn't do before! I tell my Mum: "Look at this, Mummy, look what I can do!!"

But it wasn't easy, just so you know! When we first got there, I hated the electrotherapy, as you can see, but I soon got used to it.



I had a fantastic therapist named Vesna whom I fell in love with right away and my physician also amazed us with her dedication.



There was lots of snow on Zlatibor, it was just beautiful. My days, of course, were jam-packed with therapy and exercise. My favourite was the swimming pool!

Our only regret is that I caught a virus while we were there and had to miss therapy for a couple of days due to high fever, but that's all over now!

My mum, dad and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for making this trip to the Cigota Spa possible and for allowing me to make this progress in my treatment.

I love you all!
