At a time when most of us are complaining about the restrictive measures and the messages we have to send to make the necessary moves, some of our fellow human beings are giving us their own battle to stay alive.
Unfortunately, it is not just everyone who is hospitalized and fighting the invisible enemy, there are so many others who are struggling with chronic diseases or some others who have suddenly been hit by something else. 7-year-old Panagiotis is not at home and does not attend classes through distance learning like the rest of his classmates. It is located in Israel where it is fighting one of the biggest battles. Panagiotis has been in Israel since November 28.
Panagiotis's mother posted a video inside the hospital which has been circulating on the internet for the last few hours. Her message concerns all those who complain about quarantine and confinement.
"For many hours I am inactive with nothing to do. We all complain about the quarantine, that our house was closed. The most important part of this is the survival of our family. But quarantine is not the only thing that we will close a house. Quarantine is to wear the mask for 24 hours to protect yourself, you and those around you. Quarantine is not to leave the room so as not to bring another virus to your baby. To watch your babies from a video call, not to wake up with them, not to anger them for the trivial everyday. The simplest become necessary. That's why the next time you complain, think about how strong wine you must have to listen to these sounds, not to be able to leave the room ... ", said the mother of the 7-year-old, among others.
SigmaLive contacted Maria Thrasyvoulou, who explained her child's history. He said in quotes that they have been there since November 28. The child was transported by air. Within a night, Panagiotis was intubated and was in repression due to the penetration of an aggressive germ in his lungs. This germ caused paralysis in the diaphragm of the child which is in the ventilator with oxygen support.
The little hero is accompanied in Israel by his mother while in Cyprus his 3 brothers are waiting for him.
We all wish little Panagiotis to return soon to his family and to his game away from hospitals and other adventures.
