Many Thanks to River Heights Elementary

Team Marius would like to thank the children and the wonderful staff of River Heights Elementary School in Logan, Utah, for the wonderful penny-drop fundraiser they're holding this year for Marius.  Marius got to meet the children there on April 19th, and they, in turn, were so excited to meet him.  We would like to thank them SO much for their sweet compassion and generosity.

Big News!

Team Marius is thrilled to announce the engagement of Ashley Ludlow and Ionut Dasianu!  Ionut proposed over the Christmas holiday, Ashley said Yes, and the two are planning an April 25th wedding.  CONGRATULATIONS!

11/03/08 - Stitches are Out!

Hi Team!

I stayed at the Ronald McDonald house last night. At 7:00 this morning Ionut called and said Marius wanted to talk to me. He got on the phone and said, "My eyes is finished and I see really good!" I just wanted to cry I was so happy. This is why he's here! I told him I would be right over, and when I got there Ionut had just finished bathing him and Marius is just running around the room, SO excited! I am just so elated right now. His eyes really look incredible, just beautiful.

I'm attaching a couple of pics. (see TeamMarius.org)

Love you all,
Lynne

First Surgery Complete and Successful

Just a quick note to let you know that Maruis' first surgery took place as scheduled on the 29th. It lasted about 8 hours but the doctors were very pleased with the progress they made. They were able to work on his upper and lower eyelids and on his hands.

He is in a lot of pain now, but doing well. His wonderful big brother Ionut is with him as are Kristin and Lynne and members of the Romanian community in Southern California.

There are pictures posted at www.teammarius.org.

Trip to San Diego!

Note: Marius' first operation was postponed from the 22nd to 29th. He and Ionut traveled to San Diego last week and had a great time with Lynne and her family. Here is her report. Also, please go to www.teammarius.org to see pictures from their great adventure.

Greetings to all from the Southern California arm of Team Marius! I just wanted to give a little report on the wonderful time we had with Marius and Ionut while they visited us Woodward/Ludlows here in San Diego.
