Xinjiang mother to save a child, resolutely cut a kidney and half a liver

In Qitai County, Xinjiang, there is an ordinary rural woman named Pan Daxiang. When I heard the name, it was a little cute.

However, the famous person, 44-year-old Pan Daxiang "dread to dare to do it", in order to save his son, resolutely took off a kidney and cut half of the liver.

Chen Kai, son of Pan Daxiang, a sophomore studying at Xinjiang Agricultural University, the 21-year-old good life has just rolled out a picture, suddenly encountering a rare "strange disease", a lifeline.

"He has lost a son, can't lose one more." Pan Daxiang's eldest son died of kidney stones at the age of three. "In any case, I must save Chen Kai and give him all the life, the liver and kidney."

On April 27, 2019, the first liver-kidney transplantation in China was successfully completed in Zhengzhou People's Hospital of Henan Province. Pan wanted to transplant the entire right kidney and two-fifth of the liver to Chen Kai, and the mother and son were safe. One night, the story of "Qitai mother cuts the liver and picks the kidneys to save the child" spread throughout the north and south, making countless people moved and crying.

Rare "strange disease" no more than 10 cases nationwide

A phone call broke the original calm of the house and took away the original happiness.

That was the day in November 2019. Chen Kai, a sophomore in Urumqi, called: These days, the body swollen for no reason, and it became more and more serious. Now, the face is swollen like a steamed buns, and it is very difficult to go up and down the stairs. At that moment, Pan wanted to feel blue and stunned. She shed tears, and her eagerness and her husband Chen Chao rushed from Qitai to Urumqi overnight.

However, what made her more worried and painful was that the family ran through the major hospitals in Urumqi and did not find out what the illness was.

"Suspected uremia", this "ambiguous" conclusion made Pan Daxiang and his husband stunned. I learned that my son's uremia was caused by kidney stones. Even if you change your kidney, you may have stones longer in the back. The two cried with a headache and were desperate.

After crying, they rekindled a glimmer of hope: since the cause could not be found, it might not be a terminal illness. If it is not a terminal illness, the son should still be saved.

As a result, Pan Daxiang and her husband concealed their illness from their son, pretending that nothing happened, and took his son back to his hometown of Henan.

After being diagnosed by the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou, Chen Kai suffered from primary hyperoxaluria type 1 and secondary renal multiple stones complicated with chronic renal failure. This is a genetic disease because the patient lacks an enzyme in the liver, and the loss of this enzyme can prevent the sediment in the patient from being cleaned up and eventually cause kidney failure. This rare disease, no more than 10 patients diagnosed nationwide.

"Why? Why is this?" The hope that just ignited was completely shattered, and Pan Daxiang and her husband fell into the abyss.

Donate to the son a kidney half a liver

Fortunately, my son's illness can still be treated. To cure this disease, liver and kidney transplantation is necessary. Upon hearing this message, Pan Daxiang and her husband seemed to have seized the stalwart straw.

When hopes pass by, the real problems make them miserable. Surgery is very risky, can the son succeed? The cost of treatment is millions, where can I borrow so much money? Transfer liver and kidney, where to find?

In desperation, Pan Daxiang and her husband and son returned to Urumqi, while doing dialysis treatment for their son, while trying to raise money.

Looking at his son doing dialysis three times a week, suffering, Pan Da wanted to burst into tears. Looking at dialysis, the son changed from 80 kilograms to 70 kilograms, from white fat to yellow and thin, from lively to chaotic and turned into tea and rice, Pan Da thought like a knife.

Three months later, the son spent more than 100,000 yuan in medical expenses. For Pan Daxiang, who relies on land for a living, this is a lot of money. In order to treat his brother, Chen Wei was prepared to drop out of school and reduce the burden on the family.

Next, what should I do?

If you don't have surgery, continuing the dialysis is a bottomless pit. However, how do the money for surgery come together? Although there are some deposits in the family, the society has donated money for them, but after all, there is no shortage of money. Pan Daxiang and her husband have to turn to the media for more help.

Soon, another good message, such as a ray of sunshine into this hazy family - after identification, Pan Daxiang's liver and kidney and son match, portable.

My mother smiled, but my son was so painful. The son didn't want to be tired of his mother and refused to have surgery. No matter how the parents advised him, he said nothing but crying.

"Your life is what I gave. You don't have surgery, you can't live, I want to die with you." Anxiously, my mother yelled at her son; "Child, please, without you, we still have alive." Head." With tears in his eyes, Dad stumbled in front of his son’s bed.

At this moment, the son completely realized: his life is not only his own.

At 7 o'clock on April 27, my mother and son were promoted to the operating room.

"The most beautiful mother" moved China

The mother's liver was cut off by two-fifths and transplanted to the son; the mother's right kidney was completely removed and transplanted to her son. The operation was very successful, the son was reborn, and the mother and child were safe.

After the operation, Chen Kai stayed in the intensive care room for two days and three nights, and stayed in the special care unit for two days. When he finally saw his mother, he couldn’t help but cry. "I don't know how to express it properly. I know how much I miss her. When I am sick, I want to cook for my parents."

"People are alive, we are very grateful." Pan wants to hold the tearful son, said emotionally. In their most difficult time, Xinjiang Qitai farm cadres and workers, Xinjiang Agricultural University teachers and students have donated money, many good-hearted people helplessly, Henan Relief Fund provides assistance, Zhengzhou People's Hospital also reduced some medical expenses. These, she is in mind.

"The big difficulties have come over, and the rest are awkward." Pan Daxiang said to his son with great concentration. She is eager to get better soon, to grow land with her husband and pay back the money. She thinks they are only forty-five or six years old, still young and able to do it.

For a time, Pan Da wanted to cut the liver and donate kidneys to save the story. It spread throughout the two places, the north and the south, and touched many people. Henan Province awarded her the title of “excellent mother” and Shangqiu City awarded her the “most beautiful mother” title. On April 29, she was nominated for the third model candidate of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

These are what Pan Da thought did not expect. In the past, people gave her selfless help to let her love for her son continue; now, her love is passed between people.
