These days off the hospital will be a breath for the battle that we have to fight. Maria has knowledge about your true support and your wishes, your positive energy and your prayers for her .She is really emotional about this and she is getting power from all of you. We truly need all this positive thinking and the blood that all of you are giving. We are getting prepared for the next battle to be ready.”
