14.12.2009 Kirill Buidin arrived at the hospital
for a check-up. He has grown up a lot. Fortunately, this charming, active and smart boy is now quite like
other kids of his age.
3.09.2007 Kirill's condition
has stabilized. The physicians have conquered the cytomegalovirus
infection, and the graft is functioning fine. The boy will receive
out-patient treatment. The total sum for search and activation
of an unrelated donor has been paid, and we remove Kirill's story
from the first page of our site.
21.06.2007
Bone marrow for Kirill Buidin will soon be delivered from Germany.
The boy is already receiving
conditioning prior to the transplantation, which will take place
on June 27. A donor for the child was found fairly fast, when
we had paid only for the search (5000 euro). The fundraising
for donor activation (10,000 euro) is not yet over. We rely on you!
They have helped
I am Natalia Buidina, inhabitant of the Penza region. Our first
child was born a year ago, and we were happy beyond all limits. But problems
started since Kirill's birth. His entire life was a nightmare: hospitals,
various diagnoses, endless tears at the sight of his pain. And the worst
moment was when we learned the final diagnosis: mucopolysaccharidosis
type 1. Kirill was seven months old at that time.
This disease means enlarged liver, bone lesions, impaired vision and
hearing, painful convulsions, insomnia, and terrible fast death. This
will be his destiny.
But there is a way to win. There is hope for further life. It is
marrow transplantation.
Now my baby loves the same games, the same toys as other kids. But
gradually the changes in his organism are making him lose the
ability to move and talk as before. However, no matter what happens
to him, he is always glad to see friendship and love.
I can only weep and ask you: please help us, please, dear kind
readers! Your compassion is our last hope, because finding a donor
for the transplantation requires so much money. We just cannot raise
such a sum. I graduated from an academy a year ago, and my husband
is a simple worker.
Please respond to our plea! Time presses, and my son needs urgent
transplantation, which is the only way to cure him.
Yours respectfully,
Natalia Buidina

The doctor's comment
The Admission
Commission of the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital (Deputy
Head Physician A.A. Bologov, Deputy Head Physician I.B. Bryusova,
Head of the Department of Marrow Transplantation E.V. Skorobogatova,
Head of the Department of Psychoneurology and Epilepsy E.S. Ilyina,
neurologist S.V. Mikhailova) has analyzed the medical documents
of Kirill Romanovich Buidin, born February 17, 2006, suffering
from type 1 mucopolysaccharidosis (Hurler's syndrome).
It is doubtless
that the child needs urgent transplantation of hematopoietic
stem cells. Since the child has no HLA-matching related donor,
search in an international registry should be performed. If
an HLA-matching donor of hematopoietic stem cells is found,
the child will be urgently invited to the Department of Marrow
Transplantation of the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital.
Donor search and activation in the Stefan Morsch registry will cost
15,000 euro.
