[Music]

in 2005 I am a cadre in a big

group

married and mom of two boys of 2

and 5 years millio and célian we live

a nice little house on the road of

millio wines was the happy millio

speaks a language that only his brother

understands trying is happy to go to

school

a simple and limitless happiness thinking

we because at that moment if we

had told the rest we would not have

not believed his lions often ask

drink water and at night he does not leave

not his gourd the family doctor gets

wants reassuring up to two liters per

day to five years there is no need to

to worry about and the 600 km that we

separate from the family for

join at christmas are cut off from

many pee pauses

he drinks so he eliminates we think

then the two liters of come 5 to

pediatric emergencies 1 they prescribe

examinations and weaning on several

days at the hospital

this weaning for its links is a

punishment he needs our help

especially at night the doctors conclude

it’s a dc followed by a

psychologist

so it’s lyon every week

meet a psychologist at work

the hello tour becomes

complicated everyone knows that there is

a problem and no one finds the

words in front of children

our priority is to keep smiling

in june 2006 it’s lyon at six and the

wood 10 liters per day the equivalent

of a full bucket he is exhausted from drinking

night and day

he feels guilty for complicating life

and he does not smile anymore we go back to

pediatric emergencies and they tell me

madam, we’ve already told you your son

has nothing here under observation he knows

stop drinking

go home tie him to his bed

or do it internally and in the car park

from the hospital in the retro I observe

my son with his blanket and he is

sad like a rag doll

washed out I can not remember

tears and he tells me I’m going to die mom

these kids tear up I take myself back and

Thursday no darling we will take care of

you’re going to see deep inside me I know

that I can not give up

even if the family doctor but said

being a mother is not being a

wonder woman time goes on and celian

father of colors the moral the taste of

life and trust to adults in

white blouse green and blue pardon

it’s the emotion for the generalist

the duty of a mother is not the one

to be a wonder woman for the hospital

celian does not have any dysfunction

physical and me I belly murderer

the heart that explodes I do not accept it

I do not know better than

doctors but I’m his mom and who

better than me to return the earth

to cure celian in the summer of 2006

I study I use my time for

study the hypotheses every

hypotheses at the origin of the disorders of

these lions I’m learning on the internet on

the dipsy milk polio rice from

French English expert publications

and german

I leave consequences observed for

go back to the probable causes

and as I am not polyglot I

translate keywords I let nothing

at the moment his return also forgiveness

after several weeks

I establish a good cause podium in

my sea ignorant logic it gives

brain tumor hormonal disorder

diabetes in water

at night I think of the brain tumor

I do not know the legacy I

do not know the therapy it’s

maybe a cancer

my nights are frequently asked questions

but I am determined to know at

moment of his return to the podium in

hand we meet a pediatrician

endocrinologist new exams are

prescribed for the first time there

pass an irm

finally a path that is not a stalemate

time goes by and celian at school

has no friends about millau each

morning they cling to me and cry

the school provides valuable support and

he waved me to the window with his

little hand and traces of red to

lips that I leave him to do it

smile

a september evening

the endocrinologist call us and we

request to come as quickly as possible to

other exams and there I understand that

it becomes clear

I am ready to hear the diagnosis

I am ready to announce it to my

close to taking care of my two

children I am very very near you

love me the analyzes reveal that the

growth of those having this decree

and delivered shows the origin of his thirst

it’s a skull you for a rape of a

benign brain tumor with fortress

y divine and it is healing

the pituitary gland affected by the

tumor does not produce enough

the hormone that keeps the upper body and

the body in an adult is composed of

60% of water and in a child of 75% a

Infant and more since then

more than 10 months

it is to survive while his body

do not keep it wood- bound it

eliminates so he drinks and there I know that

it’s the beginning of the end of the problem

the specialist tells him it’s lyon us

have found what you have besides if

I too had it I will not stop

to go to the bathroom all day

like you have a little ball in the

head

we will think about the best

solution to remove it

in the meantime I’ll give you a stamp

you will not need to drink hot and

Celian jump for joy on his bed

neurosurgeon the neurosurgeon has a

air of benabar and celian emilio are

fans it takes fifteen days to

consult with counterparts and validate the

best of the three possible options of

my side I’m doing a second podium

and promise to consult another

neurosurgeon if our findings

differ and they are identical

he explains to us that the difficulty

it is to totally remove the tumor

stretching like a spider’s web

on healthy organs to avoid

any recurrence

in an isolated room of the hospital

I call my parents to announce them

and I feel their pain

I entrust them with the mission of giving

news to loved ones because I do not

do not have the strength

I announce ac lyon the rest worthy and

confident comic book

the anesthetist pleases him well and that’s

that he will wake up with pipes

in the nose and enter the room

operating inches in the air

a big smile with his blanket

doors close and our smile to

we run away

we present in silence

the intervention that was to last three

hours lasts five hours in the service

of resuscitation the neurosurgeon

seems satisfied everything went well

I rather remove the risk of

recurrence is less and we cry

we find these lions on his bed

infusions in the arms on the

leg of the tubes in the nose of

plasters everywhere and his comforter too

he is holding our hand

to live things as they had

been announced for loved ones at

phone

the pressure falls these lions will keep

friendly links with sandro surgeon

and his endocrinologist back to the

House

family life and nights

calm again if lyon take

pills three times a day and the

evening he has a mailhiot injection to 4

years when he attends for the first

time to this injection and he gets

curl up in a corner and hide

the eyes the language of this little is

always an enigma and he needs

to be helped millions will be

diagnosed deaf on 20% of

frequencies for three years

every week he will go to learn how to

pronounce the consonants let it has

placed his tongue sucking at the right time

without a will limit him

will not be fit

today he is 14 years old and thanks to his

tenacity effect of improvisation on stage

it’s lyon at age 17 he’s a sportsman at

the personality appreciated the year

last he left five months in

a host family in tasmania

with these ordinances does it translate into

option these people these injections and its

drugs and get this trip to victory

end of the world is a big victory

on life because the victory we have

wins every day but not in a day

it’s lyon had to relearn how to do

confidence in the competence of adults

millio has stopped being too discreet

to finally express his joy of living

this year the super 10 kg I

faced with the prospect of

death of my child I offered to

hope I discovered the power of

love is today my life is

more the same

the little worries make me smile

seeming to be indifferent to me

inner wealth of individuals me

touch

my role as a mother and to sign

children

the free will to become actors of

their life project and my children are

treasures

they are here tonight if lyon and emilio

they will join me

and to tell you everything tonight they have

discovered part of this story

I never met them

told

[Applause]

after hearing this story I

do not have the same anymore because you know that

you have in you the ability to pass

besides the certainties of others and

roar if necessary and love

deeply love is the most

powerful engines where is the limit

love for what keeps you

heart

do not let go nobody will do it for

you

thank you very much

[Applause]
