translated from Spanish: Cecilia Bolocco: “I’ve been quarantined since November 2018 with my son”

Cecilia Bolocco was present at the Teleton in Chile, the charity event that takes place on television every year and spoke of the health of her son Maximus after Rafael Araneda asked him what will be the first thing he will do when the quarantine was finished.” Notice that I’m so happy in this lockdown, I swear, I’ve been in quarantine with my son since November 2018. Maximus has been in a devastating treatment, he was interned for months, for the same reason I understand more than ever the mothers of the children who are cared for in Telethon, I have been working for this wonderful work for more than 30 years, with an infinite thanks to what He has given me,” he said. But today I can tell you, like a mom who feels the same way as a mother who goes to Telethon… Máximo also had to have physical rehabilitation, walk with prosthetics, also assisted him when we arrived in Chile a physiatra of Teletón,” Cecilia added.

“I had the privilege of having the help of the Teleton physiatra when we returned to Chile with Máximo, who was in rehabilitation and needed just that assistance. Incredibly she was a wonderful Telethon professional who helped us. Although he certainly also had to be with prosthetics and physical rehabilitation for a long time. I’m a mom who has had to fight for her son’s health, which is what a mother does at Telethon every day,” she recalled. Maximus was in treatment from the time he left the hospital here in Chile until October 2019. The prosthetics were due to chemotherapy. He put the prosthetics together with the work he did for several months and today thank God he’s fine,” he said.

He acknowledged: “I didn’t want to talk about this much because it’s a very private thing that also has to do with it, so I wouldn’t want to start talking about his health because he’s a big kid already, a teenager, but he’s fine. You’re done with your treatment and need your medical checkup every three months. We are still in all that process, but thank God he is very well and I am very happy to see him with extraordinary strength and very good cheer.” Now I’m just looking at how we’re going to do for his next checkups, but he’s fine thank God and the virgin,” he said finally.
