About This Superstar

Age of Diagnosis
3 años y 3 meses

Finding A Diagnosis:
El proceso para obtener el diagnóstico de Adrián fué largo ( desde nuestro punto de vista). Nosotros llevamos a Adrián sobre el año y medio al especialista porque ya veíamos que no evolucionaba y hasta los tres años y 3 meses aproximadamente no lo diagnosticaron.

A Adrián le hicieron todo tipo de pruebas posibles y su neuropediatra nos dijo que ya no podían hacer nada más, que ya les hicieron todas las pruebas posibles por lo que lo derivaron a otro hospital a otra provincia, allí tampoco pudieron hacer más por el. Ya desesperados lo llevamos a un neuropediatra privado en Madrid y el nos aconsejo que se le repitiera una prueba y a raíz de repetir esa prueba ya detectaron la enfermedad.

– Translation: The process to get Adrián’s diagnosis was long (from our point of view). We took Adrián to the specialist for about a year and a half because we already saw that he was not progressing and until he was approximately three years and 3 months old he was not diagnosed.

Adrián underwent all kinds of possible tests and his neuropediatrician told us that they couldn’t do anything else, that they had already done all the possible tests, so they referred him to another hospital in another province, there they couldn’t do anything else for him either. Already desperate we took him to a private neuropediatrician in Madrid and he advised us to repeat a test and as a result of repeating that test they already detected the disease.
