He has regained all his lost weight, and has even managed to have fat red cheeks again. I’m sitting now, watching my son asking for his milk bottle, with a hearty (and noisy) appetite.
Their answer was so full of empathy and warm wishes it immediately made me feel better. I remember, very vividly, when I wrote an email to the University explaining my situation and asking for advice. Needless to say I found myself in December 2018 forced to have a break from study. I knew that in the end, the medical staff would gain the upper hand on the matter. This belief was Ariadne's thread, helping me out of the maze that my circumstances had created around me. Doctors and nurses were applying a scientific method to understand and correct the problem: analyses, elimination of impossible diagnoses, weighting the remaining options, debating within the team, more analyses, and so on. He was treated in Necker Hospital, one of the best infant hospitals in the West. One certainty helped me to ease the psychological pain: modern medicine will ultimately heal him. At that time, I would have, just like every caring parent, given half of my life for him to heal. He was surrounded by wires and beeping machines. Our son was out of crèche, sick, feeble, and spend much of his days in a hospital cage (the standard baby bed with bars). During these long weeks, especially after the second operation, I had very sad and angry thoughts, and I think we slowly got into a form of depression. My wonderful mother-in-law was a great help. His recovery had been very slow to say the least.ĭuring three months, our routine was hospital, work and bed, trying to balance all this as well as we could. The second operation was the worst, because he hadn’t recovered from the first one, and babies hardly support one surgery (let alone two). He went through a surgery, then a month later, on a second one. In late August, my son was diagnosed with a malformation of his gut. I knew I could do it, and I had the motivation to work for it. I promised myself to study even harder to get first class scores. Everything was going fine, and summer was the icing on the cake. Thanks to my wife’s incredible stamina and energy, I was able to study that year and even achieved high 2:1 scores during the exams. In October 2017, I was blessed by the birth of my son. For me, as a full-time worker, I had to study slowly in order to fulfil all of my responsibilities. And if you have difficulties, just know that you are not alone, and that ultimately, things will be OK. If things have gone smoothly in your studies, hallelujah! Because just like me, many of our adventure companions (as I like to think of you all) have to cope with different responsibilities, between work, family duties, and providing for relatives. And I remembered them when I was forced to take a break for a year to take care of my sick child. These words have been in my head since I first got the answer to my application from the University of London back in 2015. Baxxter, and Moses Pelham.Sandra Nasic of Guano Apes once sang: "things will happen while they can", borrowing from Chinese wisdom. įrom August until November 2012, Nasić was on the jury of the third season of X Factor, along with Sarah Connor, H.P. Her debut album, The Signal, peaked at No. ĭuring the Guano Apes hiatus, Nasić released her first solo recording, the single "Fever", which peaked at No. 4 in Finland, and on DJ Tomekk's 2003 single Beat of Life (along with Ice-T and Trigga tha Gambla), which reached No. Whilst still with Guano Apes, Nasić appeared on Apocalyptica's 2001 single " Path Vol. They went on to release two more albums, Bel Air (2011) and Offline (2014). Guano Apes broke up in February 2005, but reunited in 2009.
Their next two albums, Don't Give Me Names (2000) and Walking on a Thin Line (2003) both reached No. The band's debut album, Proud Like a God, peaked at No. The band's career took off in 1996 after they won the "Local Heroes" competition held by VIVA, beating out over 1,000 competitors with their song " Open Your Eyes". After she received her high school diploma, Nasić considered studying design, but decided to pursue a music career with the rock band Guano Apes, which she joined in 1994. Nasić was born in Göttingen, West Germany, where she grew up with her Croatian mother and sister.
