Kledi Kadiu talks about the illness of his son Gabriel together with his wife Charlotte Lazzari “hoping that this sharing can be an example for mothers and fathers who are on a journey similar to ours. We waited for the right moment to do so, first of all safeguarding our son, his little sister and our energy ”.
The baby, just 13 days after delivery, “showed fever and severe convulsions, the expression of a rather complex diagnosis: meningo-encephalitis. The beginning of an ordeal that really put us to the test. Gabriel survived and after reopening his eyes, step by step and with the audacity of a hero, he used all his strength to regain possession of what this unforeseen event took away from him. After more than a month and a half of hospitalization in intensive care and many, many exams, we returned home, aware that the recovery path would be long and demanding ".

At that point they embarked on “an early rehabilitation path that allowed us to fully understand how to best help our child through play and targeted stimulation. We do not want to hide behind the words by pretending that everything is simple but we believe immensely in neuro plasticity, in the boundless willpower of our little warrior, in constancy and love as the best stimulus to learning ".

“And it is precisely for this reason that we have decided to share our story - he concludes - When things like this happen you hit rock bottom and it can be difficult to find the strength to return to the surface. The difference can be made by the people you choose to have at your side and the professionals who rely on the growth of your child. It is not easy to translate our feelings into a few lines, we certainly feel immensely grateful to have Gabriel at our side who teaches us every day how precious the gift of life is ”.

Amici's former dancer, 47, and Charlotte Lazzari, 30, have been married since 2018. In addition to little Gabriel they also had Lea.
