Original title: a 9-year-old boy donates marrow to save his father
"I'm not afraid, I want to save my father!" when I heard that my father had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant to save his life, 9-year-old Ma Ziyan did not hesitate to stretch out his tiny arm. After his father fell ill, he seemed to grow up overnight. In order to save his father, he ate five meals a day, and finally gained 10 jin.
The needle goes into the arm
He bit his teeth and didn't cry
At 6 a.m. on November 28, Ma Ziyan was called out of bed by his grandfather. He wiped his face with clean water, dressed quickly, and followed his family to the Shandong Provincial Hospital, which is not far from the rented place. On this day, the nine-year-old man wanted to donate hematopoietic stem cells to his father so that he could get better soon.
Around 9 a.m., when the thick needle pierced into maziyan's tiny arm, he could not help but frown with pain, but he still bit his teeth and didn't cry for pain. 'I'm not afraid. I'm saving dad. 'ma Ziyan quietly cheers himself on, which makes Ma Xiufen, the aunt accompanying him, feel sad.
As the blood cell separator buzzed and the 'lifesaving seed' hematopoietic stem cells were collected bit by bit, Ma Ziyan always lay quietly in the hospital bed. Around noon, the collection finally ended smoothly, and Ma Ziyan felt his arm slightly numb. But when he thought that his father might recover soon after using his hematopoietic stem cells, he couldn't help but be happy.
'at noon, I took my child to eat dumplings. At the end of the day, the child told me, aunt, I can't eat any more. I said, then you'll throw up and stop eating. Ma Xiufen said that today, after the donation, the child was able to eat normally. Two months ago, Ma Ziyan had to eat the food in front of him until he couldn't swallow it, because he had to work hard to gain weight and grow up so that he could donate it to his father.
He was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 32
Successful matching of 9-year-old son
Ma Qiushou, 32, is a native of dock town in Zouping city. He is the father of three children. Ma Ziyan is his eldest son. As early as the beginning of June this year, Ma Qiushou had symptoms of backache. "I thought I was overworked and didn't care, but as time went on, the pain became more and more intense!"
Ma Qiushou went to the township hospital for the first examination. After seeing the doctor, he suspected that it was caused by lumbar fatigue. He did a blood routine before he found abnormal blood picture. He suggested that he go to the higher hospital for examination. In mid July, Ma Qiushou was admitted to the ward of Hematology Department of Shandong provincial hospital. After further examination, he was finally diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Ma Qiushou, 32, couldn't accept this reality for a while. He was in a daze for a long time. Thinking of his elderly parents, wife and three children, he couldn't stop thinking. In case he was gone, how could he live?
Ma Qiushou's 73 year old father was also frightened by this terrible disease. When his grandson asked him why his father didn't go home for such a long time, he could only tell Ma Ziyan, "my father is sick, you should be obedient. 'later, the patient's condition couldn't be concealed because Ma Qiushou needed bone marrow transplantation. After matching in September, Ma Ziyan was the only suitable donor.
Ma Qiushou has no brothers or sisters, so his family can only let his 9-year-old child do the matching. When he heard that his donation could save his father, Ma Ziyan did not hesitate to step forward.
Too light to reach the standard
30 kg. He eats like hell
'I want my father to accompany me, my brother, my grandfather and my mother. 'Young Ma Ziyan doesn't know what he's going to experience next, but when he heard that the matching was successful and that bone marrow transplantation could save his father, he was full of strength.
'the child is thin and small, only 30kg, and the father's weight is more than twice his. The smaller the weight difference between the two sides, the better. The child still has to eat well. Sui Xiaohui, Ma Qiushou's doctor in charge and deputy chief physician of Hematology Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital, was very moved to see that Ma Ziyan wanted to donate to save his father. She said that the child usually takes care of his father in the ward, and has been actively preparing to donate after successful matching.
Ma Qiushou didn't agree with his son to donate at the beginning. "The child's age is too small, and his small arms are so thin, how can he bear it?" but he couldn't resist the child's insistence, and finally he accepted with heartache. Because his weight was not up to the standard, he was unable to make a donation. After successful matching, Ma Ziyan assigned himself a task, that is, to eat hard every day to gain weight, so as to save his father early.
Eat five meals a day until he can't eat enough. Every time Ma Ziyan takes a bite, he thinks that he may not be far away from the day of donation. 'when you can't eat, take a rest and eat again. "Seeing the increasing number on the scale, Ma Ziyan felt closer to saving his father. Finally, two months later, Ma Ziyan's weight increased to 35 kg, and the doctor said he could donate to his father.
Not long ago, Ma Qiushou entered the aseptic cabin. Ma Ziyan quietly said to his father, "I love you. I wish you a speedy recovery. '
On November 28, the hematopoietic stem cells donated by Ma Ziyan have been successfully imported into Ma Qiushou's body. Because the amount of one-time collection is not enough, he will continue to collect the next day. "Dad will be better soon!" Ma Ziyan said happily.
