Justýnka was born a healthy baby, but after receiving the hexavalent vaccine, she began to change before her family’s eyes. She developed epilepsy, and her little body became limp like jelly. She started focusing only on light, and it was incredibly difficult for her family to watch her slowly fade away.

Justýnka has moderate intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, and central muscle hypotonia, which makes her body as floppy as a rag doll. Because of this, she constantly needs to strengthen her muscles.

Her mother takes her to spa treatments and pays for specialized neurorehabilitation programs, additional therapies, speech therapy, hippotherapy, and canistherapy. Life with such a severely ill child is extremely demanding, and it’s already taking a toll on her mother’s health—she had knee surgery in January and now faces at least six months of her own rehabilitation.
