Today marks one month since Teodor's surgery, an operation that would not have been possible without your help, for which I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. 🙏🙏🙏
Today's ENT consultation, with fibroscopy performed by Dr. Mocanu Bogdan, confirms that Teodor is recovering very well and that he must continue to comply with the postoperative restrictions, avoiding any physical effort.
We also performed all the blood tests, which showed excellent results, according to Dr. Gherlan Iuliana, who continuously adapts the hormonal medication. On October 23, three months after the operation, we will resume the ENT, ophthalmological and MRI consultations.
At the moment, Teodor follows a very rigorous medication regimen, with 7 doses of medication administered at different times throughout the day. Memory returns gradually, with visible steps, but postoperative fatigue still makes its presence felt.
During this period, Teodor gained 8 kg. 🍢🍠
May God reward your gesture of kindness a hundredfold with health and joy! 🙏😇

I thank again the entire team at Monza Hospital (Dr. Stoica Sergiu, B. Mocanu, A. Vișan, etc.) and endocrinologist Dr. Iuliana Gherlan for their professionalism, team spirit and for the fact that they were chosen by God in His work, contributing to the success of Teodor's surgery.
Today, July 29, I arrived home with Teodor. According to the diagnosis in the discharge note, he is: "surgically cured".
Suprasellar tumor - operated by transsphenoidal (nasal) approach
Central diabetes insipidus
Panhypophyseal insufficiency
Memory disorders
Teodor always sleeps because he gets tired from any effort (including when he eats). He continues to forget the actions that happened in the last week (after July 22 he only remembers with exercises).
Tests follow tomorrow, Friday and in 2 weeks. We have ENT and endocrinological consultations scheduled in 2 weeks. In 3 months we will resume the MRI, ophthalmological and neurosurgical consultations (Dr. S. Stoica).
During this time, we follow the treatment with hydrocortisone, Euthyrox and Minirin (daily I report the amount of fluids consumed and urinary emissions according to a schedule). He is not allowed to bend over, blow his nose hard, lift weights, without light/medium physical exertion, without cold or fizzy drinks.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and gesture of humanity, for being with Teodor and for making the surgery possible, which was financially impossible for me. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Stefania Simona

Dear
I am writing to you with a heart full of emotion and gratitude. Teodor is now in a state of constant rest, sleeping almost all day. We wake him up only to eat and for the necessary treatments. Despite the difficulties, today we had good news: his memory is starting to return. He answered all Dr. Stoica's questions correctly, which is a positive sign.
His treatment is carefully monitored through continuous analysis and is always tailored to his needs. Unfortunately, due to the need for this careful monitoring, we will remain hospitalized until Monday. Dr. Mocanu (ENT) consulted him using a camera and is satisfied with the appearance of the operated area. She explained again the risks of exertion – even sneezing can put pressure and open the area that was operated on.
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support, support and good thoughts you have given us. 🙏🙏🙏
And a message of appreciation to the Save a Heart Association, which paid today the amount of 4969 RON according to the attached payment order.
We are deeply grateful and feel blessed to have people like you by our side during this difficult time.

We bring you news from Teodor Valentin Stefan, an 11-year-old boy who bravely went through a complex surgery. After about 3 hours of delicate surgery at the Monza Hospital in Bucharest, Teodor is now resting in reserve and, although he is very thirsty, this sign is a positive indicator that the operation was successful.
It was a particularly difficult operation, because the selar tumor was located in the middle of the skull, between the two cerebral hemispheres. The medical team, professionally led by Dr. Stoica Sergiu, together with Dr. B Mocanu and Dr. Vișan managed to remove the tumor without resorting to cranial incisions, thus reducing the risks and protecting Teodor's brain.
Following the removal of the tumor, the pituitary gland was taken out of position, which means that Teodor will have to take diabetes insipidus pills for the rest of his life. However, there were no complications or bleeding during the intervention, and the medical team worked with meticulousness and extreme care through the nasal opening, thus avoiding additional risks.
In two weeks, we will resume the analyzes to monitor the new changes and the evolution of Teodor's health. We are deeply grateful for every good thought, every contribution and every support you have given us during this difficult time.
We thank Dr. Stoica Sergiu and his team from the bottom of our hearts for their professionalism and dedication. We are also grateful to all of you for your help and support. We will be discharged on Friday, and Teodor is heading towards a new stage of recovery, full of hope and optimism.
God works through people with big hearts, and you have shown that you are part of this wonderful work. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I paid the amount of 44785 RON, according to the attached payment order, an essential step in little Stefan Teodor's journey to a better life. This amount is not just a number, but it is the symbol of a united community, which joins forces and hopes to change the destiny of a child.

Every moment is marked by hope and anxiety, but also by a boundless desire to see the smile and sparkle in their little one's eyes.

Stephen's story
On July 5, 2024, Teodor Ștefan's life was shaken by shocking news. During class hours, Teodor began to feel sick, having intense headaches, dizziness with concentric circles in the field of vision, fainting, weakening of the legs and continuous vomiting. Despite the fact that all the initial tests came out good, the MRI result revealed a terrible diagnosis: a tumor around the pituitary gland, measuring 4.2/2.8/2.4 cm. It is positioned in the center of the skull, having an intra-, infra- and supra-sellar evolution with secondary incipient hydrocephalus, suggestive of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma.
The amount needed for the life-saving intervention is 10,500 euros, and the operation will be performed at the Monza Hospital in Bucharest, by Dr. Sergiu Stoica.
"My name is Stefan Stefania Simona and I am Teodor's mother. Words cannot describe the pain and despair we have been feeling since we found out about our son's diagnosis. Teodor is a wonderful child, full of life and dreams, and this disease struck us like lightning out of nowhere. We collapsed under the weight of the news that he has a tumor in the center of his skull and that he urgently needs surgery to survive.
I don't know how to handle it. I am a teacher and although we have tried to collect every penny, the monthly expenses and installments suffocate us.
I beg you, from the bottom of my heart as a desperate mother, to help us. Teodor deserves a chance at life, at a normal childhood, at the simple joys that any child of his age has. Every day that passes without this surgery is a day of suffering for him and agony for us, his parents.
We put all our hopes in the generosity and kindness of those around us. We ask you from the bottom of our hearts to support us in this terrible fight. Any help, no matter how small, brings us closer to the day when Teodor will be able to smile again, without pain. We don't have enough words to thank you for any contribution that would help us save our son. May God bless all of you who will lend us a helping hand!" said Stefania, the child's mother
How can you help?
Stefan's mother, with a heart full of hope, prays for the support of all of us. Every contribution can bring a ray of light into the life of this brave young man. Let's stand by Teodor and his family, to offer them the support they need so much to face this difficult moment and to give Teodor the chance for a healthy and happy life.
Together, we can turn despair into hope and suffering into healing. Any donation, no matter how small, counts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support!
