In Kharkov, after a serious accident, 13-year-old Olga Shevchun regained consciousness; she and her friend were hit by a car on December 18. The girl has already been transferred to a rehabilitation center, but her condition remains complex and requires long-term treatment.

The mother of the victim, Anna Maksyuta, spoke about this. The information was published by Suspilne Kharkiv.

Olga regained consciousness on the night of January 18-19. “I went to the intensive care unit twice a day every day. I stood by the bed and simply prayed to God that my daughter would come to her senses.. Thank God, we waited for this,” said Anna Maksyuta. Now the girl is in a rehabilitation center in Kharkov, where she was transferred after a control MRI.

The mother notes that the main task now is to restore basic skills: “She doesn’t sit, she constantly lies down. Most of all, I am waiting for my daughter to speak fully and start moving." According to her, the child’s right side of the body does not work, speech and vision are impaired..

Doctors diagnosed Olga with a closed head injury, bleeding, brain swelling, damage to the brain stem and cervical cartilages, as well as a hygroma in the right frontal part. “She doesn’t need surgery yet, but her condition needs to be constantly monitored,” says the mother.

Regarding compensation, Anna Maksyuta reported that after the accident the driver gave the family 40 thousand hryvnia, and her lawyers declared their readiness to help with treatment. " I won’t give up on mine,” she emphasized..
