I apologize, but I am so tired that I barely respond to the messages and, to my shame, I did not find time to write to you anymore...
We're still trying to find a doctor to put a drain on our little girl, we're giving emails over emails, calls, but apparently no one wants to risk it...
They say that it would hurt her, that she would risk being left intubated. But it is the fluid that destroys his brain and causes his epileptic seizures.
Ana feels better, makes progress, the tumor has stagnated, but the accumulated fluid, which she no longer removes naturally, is the one that torments her so much😓😓😓. We pray to God that he can eliminate him naturally, that He will bring him healing, if in the power of the people there is no longer its🙏🙏🙏 healing!

Good found to all! Ana is home. In her home,in her environment ,next to people dear to her soul.. Her condition is delicate, but stable. She can eat and drink water without any problems, she is quieter and, God willing, I hope that each day will be crowned with progress. Please do not forget to mention it in your prayers! Be blessed!

This is the last night ana and her parents will spend in the turkish hospital. The doctors here did their best to get her back on her feet, but the results were expected. Fortunately, Ana will be hospitalized in a recovery center in Bucharest, where, thank God, she was accepted. The doctors here want to try a change of treatment, many recovery exercises and we sincerely hope that all this will be useful. Of course we are extremely fearful, but at the same time we hope that this will be the solution to the nightmare that has exhausted us all.
We thank from the bottom of our hearts the doctor who did her best to have Ana accepted at this center and kept in constant contact with her parents. More details I do not know because in these last few days, Ana has been very agitated. We succeeded and paid absolutely all the bills to the hospital in Turkey, huge bills plus the private ambulance that will pick up Ana, equipped with ICU equipment.
We thank from the bottom of our hearts all those who have been and are with us and our Ana. The fight continues... God help! 🙏🙏🙏

Christ is risen!
My little girl's condition is better. She moves her right hand much better, she moves the left hand, but less - she just moves her place if we don't place her the way she wants.
It makes some noises that I associate with "mom", but I don't know if it's that way or I think it is😓.
Eating well, almost managed to put back what he lost in intensive care. She hasn't had a seizure since they brought her to the salon. Escara doesn't look so bad anymore, probably because of ozone therapy.
The analyses are better than before... God help us to continue like this so that we can return home as soon as possible among our loved ones, where we can make recovery easier for her!🙏We are already 4 months old in Turkey...
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your help! 🙏🙏🙏

Good found to all! For a few days I'm struggling to make a post about Ana... I write, delete, and I write, and I delete, but the messages received in private from known and unknown people who follow her case force me to make this post .. I start by telling you ,again, that we have NOT authorized anyone to raise money for our little girl on the street. I have been sent messages about people holding pictures of Ana , receipts and asking for money on her behalf. Secondly ,I would like to let you know that Ana is better than she was a week ago. She began to eat alone and drink the water ,so that the hose through which she was fed was eliminated. Since he got out of intensive care he hasn't had any more seizures, he's started to sleep more and be able to keep his eyes more open. These things may seem trivial ,but for us are some wonderful news,given that how long he stayed hospitalized at you did and how many 3 seizures convulsive per day plus he slept only sedata . That would be the good news! The less good news is that she has weakened a lot, her body is strewn with blood stretch marks, and a little below the middle she has a eschar that deepens and creates problems despite the fact that she has been given all kinds of creams , ointments, and her mother ends up changing even 30 pampers a day. A few days ago, another bill of 25000E was issued for 20 days of hospitalization (13 being in intensive care). With the help of donations we were able to pay for it! Imagine what revenue we would have to have to pay such bills. Of course, the doors of Romanian hospitals, state or private, are closed to us for reasons listed in the last post and as I said ONLY BECAUSE OF SIMPLE PEOPLE, WITH SOUL, who care about the suffering of our child, we manage to cope with the expenses. The daring with which Ana fights for her life forces us to ask for help and ask for your help. For those who want to continue contributing to help us save Ana ,the accounts have remained the same, and in the city you can find urns in several stores . Any amount ,no matter how small, helps us enormously! You can also fill in form 230 regarding the redirection of 3.5% of the income tax, on the page of the Save a Heart Association! And of course, don't stop praying for her and her parents!!! Thank!!! Be blessed!

August, September, October, November...
That's how my little girl was 4,5,6,7 months ago...
It's true that today it's not like that anymore, but for me she's the same perfect child, and I love her more every day!
Please, do not propose me palliative care, if I need a doctor to help her, an institution for neurological recovery!
Stop sending me messages with the graves of your acquaintances who had this disease!!
Stop telling me to ask God to save and forgive her!!!
When she made the epileptic crisis, I cried, I got lost, but I asked the Good God to do according to His will, and she is here with us today...
When I saw her suffer, without us being able to be near her, I wept, I howled, but again I asked him to do his will... and he's back next to us...
Every day I ask him to do His will, but I also ask him to lift her out of the bed of pain!
How could I ask him to take it,
when He gave me one!?
How could I take her to the couch of the house (which until 4 months ago was playing, watching movies or sitting with girlfriends) and waiting for His will to be done, when she opens her mouth to give him to eat and drink water?
How do I do all this, when I still feel like her eyes adore me?
How do I do all this, when among doctors and nurses, she is looking for us, her parents, with her eyes??
How to do all this, when I do not get tired of caressing and kissing his whole body so affected by medical treatments???
How to do all this when the doctors here are still telling us not to lose hope( unlike some doctors
Romanians who tell me that ,, anyway has the days counted,,)???
Don't we all have our days counted? Who am I to decide how many days she has, even if I gave her life??
Yes, I know... you will say that the doctors here do it for money, but even so, they do something for my child!
As much as I can, I will still ,,buy,, time with it!!
And from the bottom of my heart I hope to ,,buy it,, and for her!!!
I was told that holding her next to me as she is now is a proof of selfishness!
Really??
Please hug your children and loved ones more tightly, instead of admonishing me...
A person dear to me, but who has no children, told me about 2 months ago: "It's ready, get to cry! I understand that you suffer, but it's not the case to destroy yourself!,,
Too late... on November 27, 2021 I am no longer "I,,...
Thank you very much to those who pray for my child!
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your help!h="16" />

Ana is better a little, although she has a new infection in her body. They took out the medications he had in intensive care and he didn't have any more seizures. Maybe she was having the seizures because she was alone there, she was cold, she was 33 degrees in her body temperature when we took her to the salon), she was thirsty, she didn't see us and she didn't sleep. Now the body temperature is normal, we give him 1 ml of water at 10 minutes to drink, we feed it all on the nose, he follows us with his eyes, sleeps well! On Friday, ozone therapy began. Doctors say it would also be good for infection in the body and for oxygenation of the brain. Since yesterday he began to move his left hand, which he has not moved for more than a month, and this morning he took his right hand to his ear and would like to remove the storm from his nose. For us, these little steps mean a lot! We thank once again for the support you give us and we thank the good-hearted people who, without even knowing us, donate money for our child! God give you health!

Why don't you help me and me, Romanian state?
Why do you let my child get this way, in a foreign country, because the doctors and all your hospitals don't want to take on such a big challenge??
Why do you say you have all the necessary equipment, if you do not receive me with a child in serious condition in any hospital ... neither state nor private???
From the beginning, in November 2021, I can only hear excuses... ba you are on vacation, ba you do not have a pediatric oncologist, or you do not have a pediatric neurologist, or you can not provide intensive care for a patient in her condition!!!
Yes, glioblastoma 4 is only a year and a half average of survival, I understand, but our baby is like that in no 4 months!!!
Help us and us, Romanian state, because the dozens of emails and hundreds of phones that we are not even answered since November, have not helped us!!!
Renowned doctors who were called by the girl with us and who answered yes initially, did not answer our phone afterwards!!!
There really is no team of doctors throughout Romania, able to help a child with glioblastoma 4???
We have money, thanks to the associations that support us and the people with souls!
We borrow for the rest of our lives at the banks, only for someone to help us in our country!!!
Only to care about someone and a Romanian child, a child who for us is the whole UNIVERSE, and for you is just a serious case with which you do not want to spoil your reputation!!!

Today, after hours of waiting in the hallways of the hospital, to be able to see it for 2 minutes with the camera, on whatapp, we had a shock. She had very dry lips and they trembled uncontrollably, as if she was telling the nurse to leave her alone Until now she had a different type of mask, because of which I could not see her mouth. The doctor told us that it is better, that the mucus in her lungs has decreased, that I reduce her medicine for the crisis gradually and the oxygen level and if she responds well and does not make another crisis, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow they give us back on the ward! God help!!! 5 days and 5 nights without our child were terrible! I don't want to think about how she was, mythical, in the state she is in, without us!!
2022-03-17
Ana's condition is about the same,( only that her blood tests have improved because she no longer does chemotherapy, no longer does any fever, but we still struggle with the stasis of the lungs)
2022-03-11
Ana Maria is feeling worse and worse. He feeds her again on the hose through the nose, they put on her oxygen mask, she breathes hard, coughs, they took 3 X-rays in 3 days because she has infection to her lungs from a bacterium that she made from antibiotics were taken from here😓😓😓
Since yesterday at 15 she always complains of pain, but we do not know what hurts her
He only slept 30 min all night
They don't want to do another chemo session for now because he has this bacterium and very low white blood cells.
Almost every day I put blood on it
They don't want to take her to intensive care to suck her up yet.. because they will have to intube it
2022-02-27
Good found to all! It's been another week." heavy,ugly, waiting for better news about Ana . It didn't happen, unfortunately. Last Sunday he suffered a second convulsive crisis (easier, but enough that all the progress made disappears. She was subjected to all kinds of tests, analyzes, etc... Her condition still remains delicate. We try to keep our composure, our hope, our faith. maybe God endures the tears of her parents who are destroyed and the prayers of all of us. As you know, tomorrow at the church in the center is the exhibition of martisors made by the children of the I.L.Caragiale School, especially for Ana.Each martisor purchased represents a chance at treatment for our little girl because the costs are colossal. Her parents gave up their cheapest hotel room to be around the clock next to her and save money. We are going to ask for a second biopsy because the diagnosis of the first biopsy is not conclusive. I tried ana's transfer to a hospital in Barcelona ,but unfortunately her condition does not allow air transport. In Romania no chance of being able to be hospitalized and cared for. Iasi refused us ,Târgu Mureș the same,we kept waiting for news from Cluj ,but they are late to appear.. I have the impression that we are living a nightmare, too long and too painful, which steals our energy and puts our feelings and feelings to the test. Va rog ,not to stop praying for our little girl!!! Come on Ana ,come on cough, we are waiting for you at home!!!

Ana is all the same, nay more, on Sunday she had a new epileptic crisis and until last night she slept more. She is fed intravenously because she did not eat again yesterday I did an MRI and found that the tumor has shrunk by 10-15% and tomorrow they start chemotherapy intravenously! Although she is in quite serious condition, I can not wait to recover from seizures because otherwise the tumor will grow ... plus that the MRI appears some very large lesions after seizures We are waiting for the cost of chemotherapy to tell us
2022-02-19
Good found to all! Last night ,Ana needed blood because the hemoglobin level was very low. Doctors say it's normal ,given her condition. Today she was much more lively,her mother put her favorite music and even watched some pictures on TV. He has two more sessions of radiotherapy, and then we are waiting again to see the result of the MRI. The shy smile from the first filming is dedicated to you, the PEOPLE, who have contributed and continue to contribute for Ana to come home cheerful and healthy. We are waiting for you tomorrow, starting with 10:00, at the Sports Hall to be together at the matches of the "Ana" Cup. Thank!!!

,, And I love you, Mommy! ,,
It's been A MONTH since my child didn't tell me ,,Mommy,,!!
A month in which I cried and prayed, as I hadn't done a lifetime...
A month in which I have not stopped asking the Good God to give me her suffering and to see her healthy again...
A month in which I fell asleep next to my little girl, without her caressing my cheek, as she falls asleep
always beside me from an anisor...
Too much suffering, in two months, for my perfect baby!!! Too much....
Almost 11 years I heard daily, dozens of times a day, "Mommy,,:
,,-Good, Mommy! What do you do?
-Mommy, I'm hungry!
-Mommy, can I get something sweet?
"I love you, Mommy!
-Mommy, today we go to grandma?
-Mommy, you help me?
"I love you, Mommy!
-Mommy, let's dance!
-Mommy, can I go outside?
"I love you, Mommy!
-Mommy, can I sleep at mommy's tonight? You rooog!!!!
-Good night, Mommy!
"And I love you, Mommy!,,
Any mother, regardless of her age, should hear AT LEAST once a day:
,, Hi, Mommy! What do you do?,,

We have not posted anything about our little girl for almost a week . A hard week,with days when we waited for better news about her condition. But, unfortunately, it hasn't happened that wayBefor the time chemotherapy and radiation therapy started, the little progress made so far has disappeared... Even the eyes can no longer keep them open.. Nor would he have any way because every day he is sedated for the radiotherapy session, then he is given Ativan (Anxiar) to stop the tremor of his hands. Her parents are near her permanently,She is given all kinds of tests and tests and as if the diagnosis is not enough ,now she also has the fluHow can she carry a child? How much strength should our child have to fight?? I ,for one,I'm tired just looking at it.. Many times I can not even watch to the end a video of her sent by my sisterMai have another week of radiotherapy and maybe God endures and lifts her from the bed of suffering ... My dear sweetheart, come on, listen to mommy and open your eyes! We miss your voice so much,your smile.. By you,Ana!!!!! We thank the Save a Heart Association for their involvement in collecting donations. Already the bills have become even harder to carry out ,and the prospect is scary!!! Thank you all for your support and involvement!! May God have you in His keeping!

Good to all!Following the MRI done on Monday ,it was found that the tumor had stagnated,Thank Goodness,although Ana was deprived for a while of specific treatment. The condition of our little girl is delicate,but stable. Her parents are non-stop by her side, she gets the best care. The radiotherapy sessions have begun ,is already at the second and oral chemotherapy. Not to shake ,during radiotherapy,Ana is sedated. We hoped and prayed with tears that Ana would recover from this state as soon as possible. We miss her and her voice... we miss AnaIn continuation we need help , distributions and many , many , enormously many prayers. Just because of you, people with soul, her parents still hold her in their arms and we will not get a life to thank you! If Ana can fight ,please let's continue to support her. Come on, our beloved!!! We are waiting for you at home cheerful and healthy!!!
Campaign started on: 03.02.2022
Name:Ana Maria
First name: King
Age: 11 years
Required amount: 60000 euro
Diagnosis:glioblastoim gr.4
The operation will be performed in Turkey at Memorial
Ana Popa's story
A mother's heart becomes a battleground when her child's life is in danger. An endless string of thoughts, fears, anxieties and oppressive feelings take her by storm, and the poor woman must face them so as not to pass them on to her seriously ill son or daughter.
Divided between the inner despair and the confidence that everything must be fine remained and Cristina Stase from Medgidia Constanta County, whose 11-year-old girl has a very large brain tumor.
They found out the terrible news at the end of last year, following an MRI that Ana-Maria had done because of headaches and belly pains. The girl could no longer concentrate at school and had also developed urinary incontinence.
As if the diagnosis was not staggering in itself, the doctors' prognosis shook the mother's soul to the ground.
At Bagdasar Arseni Hospital they did not give us many chances. They offered us palliative care or an operation with a 0 (zero) chance of success, the woman told us.
Hardly, they managed to raise enough money to go to Turkey, where Ana-Maria was operated on. About 60% of the tumor was removed, then chemotherapy followed.
Because of the torment that the little girl was going through, the doctors advised the mother to return to the country with her, in order to bring back her zest for life. But just a day before returning to the hospital, the child had a serious epileptic seizure due to which she has not yet fully recovered.
For five days, Ana-Maria stayed in intensive care, and now she has resumed chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The steps are small, and recovery can take between a month and six months, doctors say. All these medical procedures involve huge costs of tens of thousands of euros, money that the Stase family has nowhere to get, at least not in a timely manner. That is why Ana-Maria's parents appealed to the kindness of the friends of the "Save a Heart" Association, to your solidarity, good people, who understand the suffering and you are not indifferent to the hardships that a child too young for so much pain goes through. Donations are urgently needed for this child to live, to be able to recover from the nightmare caused by illness and to be able to have a normal life. Any amount can be of help to him!
