My name Mariavittoria Benedetta, I was born in Udine January 10, 2008 at week 26. At birth I weighed just 502 grams. My mom was sick for some time, but her gynecologist had not noticed that I had some serious problems of growth, later diagnosed in hospital as a serious case IURG.
On 1 January 2008 my mother was in Slovenia, one of the many stations of well-being, to try to remedy problems caused by serious problems with blood flow and functioning of the kidneys, the doctors were referred to 'obscure. The evening of that day he had a detachment of the placenta and, after fighting one night in a small hospital mountain, we were transferred by helicopter to hospital in Udine, the closest place to the Italian border, there are the same in his belly for 9 days, trying to strengthen my expansion box, which, given my non prematurity were not ready. The doctors were puzzled, given the state of my heart when I was still strong pain in my stomach. Every three hours a nurse came to check if there was, then one night my mother was very ill. In the morning the doctors decided they could not wait any longer, because otherwise I had to come get me and my mom would not have survived ...
At birth I surprised everyone with my vitality and my efforts to breathe, but unfortunately my
lungs were not working yet .. so I was intubated for more than three months, during which I faced many infections that persecutes expansion box on my sick, but me and my mom we never gave up, even in moments when it seemed that there was no hope .. Slowly I recovered and got the weight of 2.2 kg are returned home May 24, 2008. In early July, I finally removed the oxygen respiratory assistance. My
meant that conditions of extreme prematurity I was severely hypotonic and I brought a delay of several months in brain development. I went then stimulated both from the point of view Physiatric that from the standpoint of psycho-motor to allow the brain to the muscles and finally to complete their development.
One year I was sitting with the aid of a pillow, I was unresponsive to external stimuli, and had poor muscle strength so that I could move on its own. After a moment's hesitation, my mother had the good fortune to be directed to the physiotherapy hospital in Montichiari, thanks to frequent weekly sessions where I could strengthen my muscles and I learned the reactions necessary balance and fall the journey as well as to manage the space.
Today, at the age of 2 years finally walk. I'll never stop to thank those who have been able to stimulate my potential, giving me a hand in trying to deal with that mental and motor retardation that I bring from my birth, because my organs and the brain had not yet finished their training process. Now I'm struggling with the psycho-motor skills, cognitive learning to prevent problems that may arise with school age. I think for me as a serious premature prevention and 
stimulation is crucial, since we are still "textbook cases" before 2000 and that children like me would not have survived the birth. We act as sort of "edge" to be "guinea pigs" and end up in the manuals of international medicine .. my mom and I never stop believing in medicine, therapy and prevention of any damage that may arise.
