Our journey, our desire for an offspring began 5 years ago, when our first happines – Paolo was born, our first joy, the crown of our love. Paolo was born, but soon after, happiness turned into endless grief. Three days later he died of respiratory distress. At that moment I completely lost the meaning of life, until the moment when Ariton was born, a year and half later. Again a Caesarean section birth in the 32nd week of pregnancy and again a struggle which lasted for a little more than two months before it was finally announced that we lost Ariton too. The whole world collapsed on us and we lost the will for life. Being a mother was the last thing that crossed my mind. Moreover, I did not want to look at babies and I hated every pregnant woman because the most beautiful moments in life were a real hell for me.
Yet another pregnancy and again – sadness, this time for the reason of a miscarriage. I had already been accustomed to bad things only.
I became pregnant for the fourth time. At first, I was prepared to lose this child too, but, my dear friend Mia Kostovska, who is part of my family, advised me to turn a new page and referred me to the safest hands in the entire world. And it so happened that I met my savior, Slobodan Drakulevski, MD.
Drakulevski, MD promised I will leave the hospital with a baby and he kept his promise
It was the beginning of a different story. Dr. Drakulevski, MD and the whole team, including nurse Aneta, became our family, our everyday routine. I was nagging nurse Aneta on the phone every day. For 29 weeks, my life unfolded on the destination between Acibadem Sistina and my bed at home. During the 29th week, Roman started making trouble and Slobodan Drakulevski, MD had to perform an emergency caesarean section on 21.02.2015. Roman was born weighing only1,690 gr. with 43 cm in length. This time I was certain that I am in the right hands and that everything will be all right. The whole team at the hospital gave me incredible confidence and hope and Dr. Drakulevski, MD, was encouraging me all the time, convincing me that , for the very first time I will leave this hospital holding a baby in my arms.
The new savior Dusko Fidanovski, MD
When Roman was born, Duško Fidanovski, MD, the new savior and the angels of the neonatal intensive care appeared. They took care of Roman for one month, Whenever I was not beside him, they replaced me with their care and warmth. Because of my medical history, they were all very reserved at the beginning, but I strongly believed in Dr. Fidanovski and in the whole team of doctors from the neonatal intensive care. Above all, we believed in the caring warmth of nurses Snežana, Suze, Tina, Vesna, Elena Daniela, Stojanka, Milena, Martina and Tina. I love you all equally and infinitely for the unselfish motherly love you gave to my Roman when I was not beside him. “Acibadem Sistina” made our dream come true The day Dr. Fidanovski told us that Roman will go home is a holiday to us, but at the same time, we did not believe we will bring a baby home. Nearly two years later, “Acibadem Sistina” remains our second home, a hospital that made our dream come true. Dr. Drakulevski and Dr. Fidanovski are priceless to us. Our life would not be the same without them. They made us very happy and joyfull. While writing this letter, tears fall again, only this time – tears of joy. Roman will have to fight again. The bronchial cysts he has since birth, will have to be surgically removed , but we believe that we will win again. “Acibadem Sistina”, thank you for being there. Ivana and Dejan Leshkaroski
