What happened to Sevasti?

“If I leave… if they kick me out without the baby, I’ll set up a counter tent outside Alexandras like the gypsies and live there. I’m not leaving without the baby.”

She is Sevasti, the wife of Manolis the early Christian. The last time we met her was inside the burrow in mountainous Corinthia, the place the couple had chosen to live with their children, far from civilization, isolated from the world.

Then Sevasti disappeared from the face of the earth to avoid the law.

“I didn’t disappear, I protected myself and my children. We are not bothering anyone,” he said.

She managed to remain undetected until last week, when an ambulance took her to hospital in a very serious condition. She was 42 weeks pregnant and had uncontrollable bleeding.

“They put bottles of blood on me. They told me that if I came 10 minutes later I would die.”

Saved at the last minute

Sevasti gave birth to the family’s fifth child a week ago. A little girl almost 4 kg. But both the mother and the baby were in danger of not making it. Because Sevasti had decided to give birth at home alone, with the help of only a midwife, without any prenatal control, having already had four caesarean sections in her history.

Seeing his wife bleeding uncontrollably, Manolis made the decision to ask for help.

“We had some adventure, because there were complications. The wife wanted to try to give birth at home, it was not possible. We rushed her to the hospital, she didn’t want to, but there are many times when a person’s beliefs conflict with what should be done. My position was difficult,” he said.

Doctors did their best to keep mother and baby alive. Sevasti immediately entered the operating room.

In the end, Sevasti and the baby survived, with the doctors saving her from certain death, ignoring her husband’s and herself’s unreasonable demands about allegedly altering her… dna by taking blood, but also about any help for the baby by taking injectable drugs.

They don’t give them the baby

The baby, Anna as they have decided to name her, continues to be treated in the neonatal unit, with doctors still cautious about her progress.

After this incredible adventure, a social worker met Sevasti and finally, it was decided that the baby should remain in the hospital until the conditions in which he is going to live the rest of his life are checked, a decision with which the couple disagrees.

“Both me and the baby are fine. We leave our problems behind. The social service of the hospital did not behave as it should have… They interrogated a man who was in aphasia,” said Sevasti, who added that her husband saved her life.

The couple claims that they now live with their children in an area of ​​Attica, close to nature, not in a cave, however, like the one in mountainous Corinthia, isolated again, from civilization.
