Matej “Sajfa” Cifra (46) and Veronika Cifrová Ostrihoňová (37) raise their daughter Sára (6) and son Šimon (3) together. They are worried about the younger offspring, since he is in the hands of the doctors, while his hospitalization has been going on for several weeks. He also spent Easter in the hospital. Neither of them wants to talk publicly about the details of his diagnosis.
Little Šimon’s health condition required fundamental changes in the family’s established program. Ciphers currently live in Brussels, where Ostrihoňová works as an MEP, while Sajfa regularly flies to Slovakia for work. The radio announcer quickly adapted to the new routine in the Belgian metropolis – he delivers children to school, kindergarten or to clubs mostly on a bicycle, which he has become extremely fond of as a means of transport.
Priorities changed very quickly, and the loving parents care most about the boy’s recovery. “We are working to make Šimi okay, but it will take some more time and patience before I can fully return to work at 100%. Greetings to all of you.” the mother of two told her fans on Saturday, March 28, on Instagram.
In these difficult moments, the family sticks together. With a small patient, the couple take turns, but they often spend time in the hospital room all together so that Šimon feels the greatest possible support from his closest relatives. During the long days at the medical facility, Sárka and Šimonek were entertained by professional medical clowns.
“The OZ Red Nose Clowndoctors are doing such an amazing job that our kids almost burst out laughing today.” the presenter excitedly stated on Instagram on Wednesday. PHOTO of the clown with his daughter can be found in the gallery.
Nothing remained indebted to his famous sense of humor and he lightened the situation when his children were finally genuinely happy in his own way. “I still have a semester of surgery to stitch up the corners,” he added jokingly to the wide smiles the clowns gave. These rare moments of joy certainly help the family better manage the difficult situation and the lengthy process of treating the little one.
