We are excited to advocate for cute, young Tanner.  Tanner was born June of 2019.  He is diagnosed with Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia, which was diagnosed as transient longer bleeding from puncture sites without disturbances in the coagulation status and a normal platelet count.

Tanner walks alone, runs, knows how to make turns and can climb and spin. He can kick a ball. He goes up and down the stairs with support. He can drag a toy. He tries to feed himself by holding a feeding spoon but does not scoop the food to his mouth. He can mimic short phrases. He does not follow instructions and his comprehension is visibly limited. He can complete individual single instructions. He goes to the other children, smiles at them and takes their hands. He is completely dependent on adults. He falls asleep on his own and his sleep is peaceful.  Our Bulgarian staff will be going to meet him in person soon and we will post that report.

His video from previous organization can be seen at: https://youtu.be/ra85ZXHrKv0
