At the age of just 5, Mirela and her family learned what the terrible disease leukemia means. But this cruel misfortune did not rob the little girl of her childhood, because shortly after, on the hospital bed, the little girl made a friend, with whom she learned to fight and how to get through hardships more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a Friday, September 4, 2020, a day that I will never forget. Our little girl was feeling very bad and we went to B\u0103l\u021bi to do blood tests. When the results came, we were urgently sent to Chi\u0219in\u0103u. We had no idea that she could have this disease, or we didn\u2019t want to believe in such a thing\u2026\u201d, says Anna, Mirela\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Mother and Child Institute in Chisinau, the little girl and her mother stayed for four days, then they were transferred to the Oncology Institute, Pediatric Hematology department, where the little patient immediately received the necessary medical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAnd now I remember how the nurse came into the room and while I was talking to another mother, she spontaneously told me that Mirela had leukemia, after which she closed the door,\u201d says the girl\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BAD NEWS ARE COMING UNEXPECTEDLY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, many parents unexpectedly find out the news about their child\u2019s illness. They feel powerless and helpless in the face of the disease, as Anna says: \u201cI was speechless and could not even move, it was like I was a statue. I called my husband and then I started crying, I could not see anything around me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little girl's mother claims that when she entered the Pediatric Hematology ward, it seemed like the most terrible place on earth. \"I was so scared then and my eyes filled with tears when I looked around me. It was very difficult for me when they had to prick her to put a catheter in her and connect her to the machine,\" Anna says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUPPORT MATTERS A LOT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201eM-am lini\u0219tit c\u00e2nd am vorbit cu medicul nostru, doamna Rodica, un medic dat de la Dumnezeu. Ne-a fost al\u0103turi mereu, ne-a sus\u021binut \u0219i ne-a \u00eencurajat. Am \u0219tiut c\u0103 totul va fi bine  dac\u0103 voi fi \u0219i eu puternic\u0103 \u0219i m\u0103 voi ar\u0103ta tare \u00een fa\u021ba copilului\u201d, \u00ee\u0219i aminte\u0219te mama Mirelei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the little one, many other children with leukemia were hospitalized in the ward, along with their mothers. During that time, Anna became friends with them and her stay in the hospital was much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt helped me a lot that I ended up in a group of very friendly and courageous mothers. Their support mattered a lot to me. With their help, I got through each trial more easily and the days spent in the hospital were more beautiful and peaceful. Their optimism was contagious,\u201d says Anna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ILLNESS BONDS FRIENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mirela felt better and started to get in touch with children in the ward. The little girl made friends especially with Vladu\u021b. The illness made them stronger and they became inseparable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe had a very close connection with Vladu\u021b. A very beautiful and sincere friendship began between two children fighting for their lives. They were too young to understand what disease they had and how dangerous it could be. But the friendship between them made the days spent in the hospital more beautiful and interesting. They spent a lot of time together, playing different games\u2026\u201d, recalls Anna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vladu\u021b successfully finished the treatment and went home, but a friendship was formed between him and Mirela forever. Even though the little girl could not write yet, they talked through video calls and voice messages and spent time together via phone. Now that Mirela is in first grade and can write, she not only talks to her friend every day, but also writes him messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The close bond between these two little ones shows us that the fight for life can be easier if you have someone by your side, regardless of age. Treatment here, at home, in the Republic of Moldova, is successful, and recovery is faster, when children make friends, speak the same language and go through the same difficult moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
