On February 12, 2017, just after the Lantern Festival, Gao Hongmei's family was still immersed in the joy of the New Year's reunion, but this day also meant that her son's happy winter vacation was over, and he had to return to school the next day.
Gao Hongmei was still carefully sorting out all the things for her son to register for the next day, reminding her son to put away his winter vacation homework and not to miss it. Hind foot,The son's physical reaction brought Gao Hongmei's family to a turning point in their fate, and their peaceful and happy life was shattered.
After dinner and packing up the school supplies, Gao Hongmei told her son to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and welcome the arrival of the new semester.
When the son heard his mother's command, he answered obediently, took his clothes and went into the bathroom.
After a while, my son came out of the showerThe appearance of the whole person startled Gao Hongmei.
Everything was normal when my son first went in to take a shower, but when he came out of the bathroom, he had a big belly.
Seeing the abnormality of her son's body, Gao Hongmei hurriedly asked her son what was wrong? The son replied that he didn't know why his belly had grown so big.
Gao Hongmei asked her son if it hurts? My son said that when he coughed in the past two days, his stomach would hurt, and it felt like there was water in his stomach.
After listening to her son's description, Gao Hongmei felt that something was wrong with the situation and was very anxious, so she took her son to the community hospital immediately. However, Gao Hongmei did not realize the seriousness of her son's condition at this time, thinking that it might be a few days after the Chinese New Year, her son had eaten something bad or had eaten too much, and it was estimated that the doctor would prescribe some medicine for abdominal distention.
Who expected that when he arrived at the hospital, when the doctor saw his son's illness, his face was very solemn, and asked Gao Hongmei to take the child to the big hospital as soon as possible.
When Gao Hongmei saw the doctor's expression, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and the whole person began to become nervous. She asked the doctor what was wrong with her son? The doctor just couldn't answer well, they couldn't be diagnosed here, so it was better for Gao Hongmei to take the child to a big hospital for a comprehensive examination.
Gao Hongmei looked at her son's belly, which seemed to be a little bigger than when she first came out of the bathroom, and it was swollen from her chest downwards, like a cow's belly. Even if she doesn't know how to medicine, she can see that her son's illness is a bit unusual at this time.
Early the next morning, Gao Hongmei asked for leave from school, and asked her husband to take her son to the First People's Hospital of Zhengzhou City for examination. But in the afternoon, Gao Hongmei, who was anxiously waiting for news while working, never received a call from her husband to tell her son about her son's condition.
As a mother, Gao Hongmei began to panic inexplicably, and finally couldn't sit still, so she asked the company for leave and rushed to the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, Gao Hongmei found her husband first, and when they met, she asked: "It's been a morning of examination, why should there be a test result, why don't you give me a **?" What is our son's illness? What kind of disease can a child get at such an age? ”
Her husband looked at her and stopped talking, and finally only said to her, "It's not good." ”
Gao Hongmei was stunned when she heard this, she didn't want to believe what her husband said, she subconsciously refused this information, and directly refuted her husband: "What can be bad, isn't the baby a little swollen and a little big belly." If you don't tell me what's going on with the child, I'll ask the doctor myself. ”
Seeing that his wife was going to go directly to the doctor to ask about the situation, the husband also knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to call her to a relatively secluded corner at the end of the hospital corridor, and then told Gao Hongmei the truth about his son's condition with red tears and a trembling voice.
It turned out that my son had cirrhosis of the liver and had to be admitted to the hospital**.
When Gao Hongmei heard this, her brain suddenly went blank, and she couldn't accept this fact. In her cognition, liver cirrhosis is a disease that only older people can get, and her son is only 10 years old, how can he get such a disease?
After a few seconds, she couldn't help but cry, muttering, "Impossible, impossible." The husband also squatted on the ground and wept.
At this time, the son's attending doctor came out of the consultation room, saw the couple so sad, and walked over to comfort them.
Gao Hongmei was like seeing a savior, pulling the doctor and asking, "Doctor, how can my son get this disease at such a young age?" Could it be a misdiagnosis? ”
The doctor didn't get angry in the face of Gao Hongmei's question, and said to Gao Hongmei gently: "I understand your feelings as parents, but this disease is definitely not misdiagnosed, and you can see it by doing a simple color ultrasound." You should hurry up and transfer your child to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, which is more professional in liver disease. ”
At this point, Gao Hongmei and his wife had to follow the doctor's advice and take their son to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zheng University for ** as soon as possible.
But for Gao Hongmei's family, the high medical expenses are the first hurdle they need to face. The cost in the early stage is 40,000 yuan, plus the transplant cost in the later stage, it is almost 200,000 yuan, not including the cost of anti-rejection ** in the later stage.
Gao Hongmei is from a rural village in Yanjian County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, and has a son and a daughter after marriage with her husband. In order to give their children a better education, Gao Hongmei and her husband came to Xinzheng City to work as a cleaner in a property management company in the city.
Although the life of a family of four is not rich, and the life is ordinary, it has the small happiness of an ordinary family. The son's sudden illness completely shattered the simple little happiness of the family and overwhelmed Gao Hongmei's family.
But even so, her son's illness always has to be treated, even if she smashes pots and sells iron, and borrows money everywhere, Gao Hongmei has to save her son.
When she arrived at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zheng University, Gao Hongmei still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that her son's condition was not so serious, and it may have been misdiagnosed before.
However, after some examination, the attending doctor showed his son's liver** to Gao Hongmei and his wife. ** can clearly see that there is only a little liver left, it is all water, it is a severe cirrhosis, and the only effective ** method is liver transplantation.
"Liver transplant" is a very unfamiliar word for Gao Hongmei's family, and they have no concept at all. But after learning that this ** method could save her son's life, Gao Hongmei insisted on giving her son a liver transplant without hesitation.
A mother, her son is equal to half her life, there is hope for treatment, naturally she can't give up, as long as she can save the child's life, whatever you want.
After trying to make up for the early medical expenses, a new level was placed in front of Gao Hongmei.
You must know that liver transplantation means that you need a healthy **, but at that time, there were 1.5 million patients in need of organ transplants in China, but only 10,000 people could get transplants, and the ratio of supply and demand was 1:150.
What's more critical is that Gao Hongmei's son is only 10 years old, and he has stricter requirements for **, and there is little hope of waiting for a suitable **. If you keep waiting like this, I don't know if my son's life can last until the day when there is **.
The best way to solve this problem is for the child's relatives to provide him with ** and perform a parent-to-body transplant.
As soon as they heard that there was such a solution, Gao Hongmei's family did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
Gao Hongmei's husband wanted to use his liver to save his son, but after the enhanced CT was done, his liver was not eligible for transplantation. Faced with this result, her husband looked at Gao Hongmei guiltily and said to her, "I can only use you now." ”
Gao Hongmei didn't say a word, nodded her head in agreement, and said to the doctor: "Doctor, use mine, as long as it can save the child's life." ”
Now all the hopes can only be pinned on Gao Hongmei, if Gao Hongmei's liver does not meet the requirements, then the son can only wait in line**, and it is unknown whether he can save his life in the waiting process.
After the examination, Gao Hongmei was very anxious to wait for the results of the examination, she was afraid that if her physical examination results did not meet the standard, it would mean that she might lose her son. That's the result, for her, the sky is falling.
Fortunately, Gao Hongmei's physical examination results were normal, and all the items examined met the criteria for liver transplantation for her son.
After getting this result, Gao Hongmei's face, which had been anxious, finally showed a smile. This result means that her son is saved, and she does not think about the harm that such a transplant will bring to herself.
For a normal person, cutting off part of the liver is not as simple as imagined. The risks behind this operation are enormous, as of February 2017, 19 donors have died worldwide. In addition, there are many postoperative complications of the donor surgery, all of which can be life-threatening.
Gao Hongmei donated her son's liver, there is a possibility that her son survived, but she passed away due to infection and some complications.
After learning of these possibilities, Gao Hongmei shed tears, after all, she is also an ordinary person, and she will also be afraid in the face of possible death.
She knows that this operation, whether it is for herself or the child, is a struggle against death, and it is possible that neither mother nor son can get off this operating table.
But if she doesn't donate her dirt, all that awaits her son is death, in this comparison, Gao Hongmei feels that she is not so scared, and resolutely signs her name on the operation book.
Although his son is not very old, he is very sensible, he doesn't want his mother to do this for him, Gao Hongmei cried and said to her son: "Mom must save you!" To make you well, that you will not suffer again, you have to be strong. ”
The son lying on the hospital bed also cried bitterly.
Gao Hongmei, who had just been mentally prepared, thought that the next step was surgery, but she didn't expect that the doctor's words would make her face a serious problem again.
Although all aspects of the physical examination are within the scope of indicators, Gao Hongmei has fatty liver, and she must lose the fatty liver before she can transplant the liver to her son. Otherwise, even if her son accepts her donated liver, his recovery will be very slow.
Moreover, my son's condition is getting worse day by day, and every day more it is dangerous, and only by losing the fatty liver as soon as possible can we start surgery and save my son's life.
For this reason, the doctor postponed the operation by 3 weeks to allow Gao Hongmei time to lose her fatty liver, which meant that she had to lose her fatty liver in less than a month.
For the sake of her son, Gao Hongmei fought hard.
The operation must maintain a good physical condition, so Gao Hongmei can neither over-diet nor take weight-loss drugs during the fatty liver loss period, and can only rely on a lot of exercise to achieve the goal.
The liver transplant ward where her son is located is on the 12th floor, and at 5 o'clock every morning, Gao Hongmei runs down from the upper floor to start a day's exercise.
Since the first day of exercise, Gao Hongmei has never taken the elevator of the hospital again, no matter where she goes, she climbs the stairs by herself. The road outside the hospital and next to the river has also become the main place for her to run and exercise.
For Gao Hongmei, who has never exercised habits, such high-intensity, high-intensity exercise is a very painful thing, but she has only one thought in her heart: "I want to reduce fatty liver as soon as possible, so that I can save my son as soon as possible." ”
It is this belief that supports Gao Hongmei to run forward step by step.
Later, after a well-wisher learned about the situation of Gao Hongmei's family, he took the initiative to contact a gym for her so that she could exercise inside. The fitness coach in the venue also tailored a fitness ** for her according to her physical condition, allowing her to exercise at the venue for free.
After knowing the situation of Gao Hongmei's family, more caring people rushed to the hospital to leave the money anonymously and left, some hundreds, some thousands, and the property company where Gao Hongmei worked also launched a donation for her. All this moved Gao Hongmei, and she was even more confident in saving the child.
Gao Hongmei gets up at 5:00 every morning, first goes downstairs to the hospital to run a few laps, and then returns to the ward to take care of her son and have breakfast. At 9:30 a.m., she went to the gym, worked out until 12 o'clock, and then went back to the hospital to buy lunch for the child.
After an hour's rest, Gao Hongmei went to the gym to continue running on the treadmill for two hours. At the end of the day, Gao Hongmei has to maintain more than 10 kilometers of running.
Every day when I see my sweaty mother return to the ward, my sensible son will say to my mother: "Mom, you have worked hard." Hearing her son's words, Gao Hongmei felt that no matter how hard she suffered, it was worth it.
Persistence pays off.
In 20 days, Gao Hongmei, who is more than one meter and six meters, lost 13 pounds from the previous 140 pounds, and finally only more than 120 pounds, and the fatty liver disappeared completely.
She herself never thought that she could persevere with such a large amount of exercise, this is the power of maternal love.
The fatty liver is gone, which also means that the best time for surgery has arrived.
April 9, 2017, the day before the transplant. Gao Hongmei called her husband in front of her, and said to him solemnly with tears: "If there is an accident during the operation, I and the child can only choose one, you must choose the child, he is my life." ”
Her husband also had red eyes when he saw Gao Hongmei like this, and comforted her: "Don't worry, this is a hospital, you will all be fine, we have to trust the doctor." ”
That night, Gao Hongmei couldn't sleep all night, and her heart was always carrying.
At 7:50 a.m. on April 10, Gao Hongmei began to prepare for the operation, and she was very nervous. Just as she was about to be anesthetized, her weak son struggled out of bed to see his mother.
Seeing his mother lying on the hospital bed, his son couldn't help crying, and said to Gao Hongmei while crying, "Mom, don't be afraid. ”
Gao Hongmei's tears fell when she heard her son's comfort, but these words completely dissipated the fear in her heart and turned into courage, strength and strength.
She said to her son, "Son, don't worry, Mom is fine, you can go back." The son walked back to the hospital room three times by one.
At 9:30, my son also entered the operating room.
7 hours later, Gao Hongmei was sent back to the ward, and at about 11:00 in the evening, Gao Hongmei woke up from anesthesia, and the first thing she asked **: Is there anything wrong with the child? "* Comfort Gao Hongmei's child that everything is fine, it's okay.
In fact, at 11:20 in the evening, almost when Gao Hongmei woke up, her son was also sent back to the intensive care unit after the operation, and the first thing the child said when she woke up was to ask her mother how she was.
The operation, which lasted 11 hours, was a great success.
10 years ago, Gao Hongmei gave her son his first life, and today, 10 years later, Gao Hongmei gave her son a second life.
My son recovered very well after the operation, and Gao Hongmei's liver began to fuse and play a role in his son's body.
From the onset of the disease in February to the successful operation in April, in just two months, Gao Hongmei felt that many years had passed, and every day was tormented.
Now that all the hardships have passed, the haze of life has begun to move away from Gao Hongmei's family.
The most selfless love in the world is the love that parents give to their children, without asking for anything in return, even at the expense of their own lives for their children's lives. Under the power of mother's love, it is not surprising that any miracle happens.
The New Year is coming soon, it is the day of family reunion for our Chinese, and the children who have been working hard all year round will return to their parents. When you get home, spend more time with them, and listen patiently to your parents' nagging and advice, because they are the ones in this world who really want you to live well.
