Every parent's biggest wish is to hope that their children will be healthy and healthy, free from illness, and Xiaoyu's mother is no exception. But sometimes the fragments that God sprinkled randomly are always unpredictable, and Xiaoyu has been diagnosed with severe poverty by the time he was 8 months old. After 7 years of treatment, finally at the age of 8, Xiaoyu received a cord blood transplant from her little sister, successfully cured and opened a new life.

Suffering from severe ground poverty at 8 months of birth
Born in October 2013, Xiaoyu began to have a high fever at the age of 8 months, was diagnosed with severe β thalassemia in the local hospital, and then began a long-term life of blood transfusion and iron removal treatment, suffering from pain.
"When I found out she was poor, I felt like I was about to collapse." Ms. Liang said that as the children grow up, the frequency of blood transfusions becomes more and more frequent, and the blood volume in Xinyi City, her hometown, is scarce, and it is often necessary to travel a lot to get blood transfused, and the family is very anxious and tired.

In order to save the child, the parents gave birth to their sister to save umbilical cord blood
The most common place for the little rain is not the school, but the hospital; the most common thing is not the toy, but the syringe held by the doctor; and it is not the "little friend" who is often accompanied, but the doctor and the nurse.
Xiaoyu's illness has made the family that was not richer even poorer, but the family has never given up hope of letting Xiaoyu heal. In 2015, when Ms. Liang was pregnant with Sanbao, she learned that cord blood can treat poverty and decided to store Sanbao's cord blood in the hope that it could be used for Xiaoyu. Unfortunately, the matching of the three treasures does not match the light rain.
In order to save Xiaoyu, parents decided to gamble again and have another child. In 2016, Sibao's sister was born smoothly in the obstetrics department of Maoming People's Hospital, and obstetric medical staff successfully collected her sister's umbilical cord blood. The family has passed the pregnancy puncture test, and has learned in advance that the two sisters' matches are fully compatible, and is very much looking forward to the arrival of the younger sister, hoping that she can bring new life to the sister.
The family began to raise money for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and although the days were poor, they could see the hope of the future, "I thought about curing her disease quickly, and after being cured, I would no longer have to worry about her blood transfusion often." Ms. Liang said.

Cord blood brings new life to little girls
On January 4, Xiaoyu successfully transplanted her sister's umbilical cord blood from the Department of Hematology of Maoming People's Hospital. Zhang Xiong, director of the Department of Hematology, introduced that Xiaoyu transplanted his sister's umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells and peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells.
"It is very rare that the matching of the child and sister is 12/12 fully compatible. I was also very fortunate that my sister had umbilical cord blood at birth in the obstetric department of our hospital in 2016, and the transplantation process was very smooth. ”
It is worth mentioning that Xiaoyu is the first patient in Maoming City to transplant the umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells of compatriots. Attending physician Li Zan said that on the 15th day after the transplant, when the matching degree between the poor gene and the implantation was reviewed, it was found that Xiaoyu's poor gene was converted into the normal gene of the sister, indicating that the normal hematopoietic function had been restored.
On February 11, Xiao Yu (pseudonym), who was suffering from severe poverty in Maoming City, was successfully discharged from the hospital under the witness of the medical staff of the Department of Hematology and Obstetrics of Maoming People's Hospital. When looking back on the pain of blood transfusion and iron drainage treatment that her daughter suffered for many years, her mother, Ms. Liang, had tears in her eyes. From now on, Xiaoyu can finally live a healthy and happy life like a normal child.
