The seven-year-old boy, who is in the thoughts of all Tuva, came back to the republic. His mother Anisya Kiim-oolovna Mongush informed us that he is already back in Chadan and is in good spirits. He talks all the time without stopping, regardless of the fact that his speech is unclear. The Tuvan students who met him in Moscow at the Vnukovo airport also said that. They spent about 2 hours with him. “We were surprised by his energy. He told us everything about his illness, and many other interesting things,” said a member of the Moscow Tuvan association, Aziata Darzhaa.

According to Anisya Kiim-oolovna, the doctors extended the break between the radiation therapy and the chemotherapy. Initially, a two-week break was contemplated, but now they recommend to extend the time off to one month. During this time, he should learn to walk again. Now his gait is very unsteady, but quietly, he is being taught to walk normally again.

After the May holidays, Arat’s mom will give a detailed account of the means that she received, and about the spending.
