“Our dream has finally come true. Everything we have fought for together in recent months has paid off. Thanks to all who were part of our fight and thank you for continuing to be with us,” wrote Sofía’s parents in Twitter
As the parents of little Sofia announced, the girl is expected to remain in the United States for three to four months.
Sofija Markuljević was born a healthy child, with a high note of nine. For the first month of her life, she looked like all healthy babies, but by the second month, Sofia stopped moving her hands completely, RTS reports.
At two and a half months, it was determined to be a rare, but extremely progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease: type 1 spinal muscular atrophy.
