An 18 year old from Agrinio has been discharged from a Turin hospital following a demanding 2 month recovery. A successful liver transplant in November marked the turning point in his battle for survival.
Marios had been transported to Italy by military aircraft when his condition became critical. A long and complex surgery kept him in the operating room for hours, yet he ultimately overcame the ordeal.
Medical staff in Turin offered him an emotional farewell as he prepared to return to Greece. Their support had accompanied him throughout the entire process.
Doctors confirmed that Marios lives with the rare Alagille syndrome, a condition that made the transplant essential. His recovery has progressed steadily since the operation.
His mother shared that he expressed pure joy upon leaving the hospital and seeing the sky again. She emphasized that all his organs are functioning properly and that he feels strong and optimistic.
His only remaining goal is to regain his ability to walk independently. His medical team expects him to enjoy a normal life as his rehabilitation continues.
