"I've been fasting to water and food, and I haven't eaten for a month. Diarrhea does not stop every day, twenty or thirty times a day, until the bleeding does not stop. In the hematology ward of a hospital in Hebei, four-year-old Li Xingyu curled up in pain, his naked body, already thin and exposed, and his skin and flesh were sunken inward. The picture shows Li Jingting wetting the child's lips.
Li Jingting and his wife Li Linyan guarded the child's bedside, constantly cleaning up the child's lower body. Li Xingyu has been intestinally rejected for a month, and after coming out of the transplant warehouse, there was a serious rejection reaction. According to the original plan, Li Xingyu should be discharged from the hospital and return to his hometown on the seventh day of the Chinese New Year this year, but now everything has been disrupted, and going home has become unknown.
"Two days ago the child cried and said: 'Mom I want to live, I want to study, don't you abandon me okay?' My wife and I listened, and our hearts were very uncomfortable, and tears flowed. Li Jingting choked and said. The picture shows Li Xingyu on the hospital bed.
Spring Festival without reunion
The Spring Festival of 2022 has just passed, and the afterglow of the New Year is still in people's hearts. However, this year's Spring Festival, Li Jingting's family did not have a good taste. Just when people gathered together to eat Chinese New Year's Eve meal, Li Jingting and his wife and young son were trapped in hebei hospital thousands of miles away, and the eldest son and parents in their hometown of Zhejiang could only look at each other thousands of miles away from each other. When the eldest son also told Li Jingting to take good care of his younger brother and take his younger brother home quickly, he did not know that his brother was no longer human after being tortured by intestinal discharge.
No one expected rejection to come so fiercely. Li Linyan was originally alone in the ward to take care of the child, because the child is seriously rejected, need to be taken care of at all times, she does not sleep day and night is really unbearable, so the hospital allows Li Jingting to also enter the ward to take care of. So Li Jingting rushed to the rental house every afternoon, washed clothes, cooked, and then sent to the hospital. At night he and his wife took turns on duty, and the wife slept in the middle of the night, and he slept in the middle of the night. The picture shows Li Xingyu receiving treatment.
But even with such careful care, the son's condition still did not improve, could not eat or drink water, continued diarrhea, until the bleeding did not stop, the child became emaciated and skinny at a speed visible to the naked eye, Li Jingting and his wife were very afraid, they were afraid of when the child would walk away from the hospital bed...

The child was diagnosed with leukemia
Such a busy and frightening day, the family has been living for almost a year. On May 21, 2021, his son Li Xingyu said that his stomach hurt at home, and Li Jingting rushed to take the child to a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with acute appendicitis after examination and surgery on the same day. "After the operation, I stayed in the hospital for 21 days, and the child suffered a lot of sins, and we thought that the child would be fine after the operation, but we didn't expect that something more terrible happened next."
The child began to have diarrhea on the sixth day of discharge, and the examination found that the white blood cells were high and the platelets were low. After that, he coughed repeatedly, had a fever, and did not improve after six days of outpatient infusion. Because they could not find out the cause of the child's illness, Li Jingting and his wife were worried in their hearts, and the doctor suggested that they take the child to the provincial capital of Hangzhou to see. The picture shows Li Xingyu receiving treatment. The picture shows Li Xingyu sleeping soundly on a hospital bed.
They rushed to the Children's Hospital of the Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Li Xingyu after a series of examinations such as blood draw, ultrasound, CT, systemic magnetic resonance, etc., and then through bone marrow puncture, genetic testing, and finally was diagnosed with juvenile granular mononuclear leukemia on August 9, the doctor said that this disease only has a way to survive bone marrow stem cell transplantation, and the cost of transplantation alone will cost about 400,000 yuan, and the later rejection and infection are even more unpredictable.
"When I was diagnosed, my whole body collapsed, people were stupid, I thought how could it be? How can this disease, which is only seen on TV, happen to us? I was dumbfounded, like a headless fly in the hospital, not even knowing where to go out. Li Jingting recalled that dark day, and still has palpitations. The picture shows Li Xingyu.
Migrate north to survive transplantation
On August 13, 2021, Li Xingyu began receiving chemotherapy at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou. In the first course of treatment, due to the effect of the drug, Li Xingyu felt nausea and vomiting, continued to have a fever, and recovered for most of the month. The second course of treatment also had severe side effects, and the doctor told them at the end of the treatment that the child should have a transplant as soon as possible.
In order to seek better treatment, after being introduced by patients, the family rushed from Zhejiang to a hospital in Hebei, thousands of miles away. After arriving in Hebei, Li Xingyu began to prepare for chemotherapy before transplantation, and after receiving two rounds of chemotherapy and removing the leukemia cell residue in the body, Li Xingyu was pushed into the transplant warehouse for transplantation on January 10, 2022, with his father Li Jingting as a donor and Li Linyan in the warehouse to accompany him. The picture shows the mother Li Linyan and the son Li Xingyu.
This time, Li Jingting borrowed money from relatives and friends everywhere to get the child's transplant costs, and he was full of joy that the child would slowly recover after the transplant, but he did not expect that reality gave him a hard blow. As soon as Li Xingyu came out of the warehouse, there was a violent intestinal rejection, which caught the couple off guard. The child was still good before the transplant, suddenly he could not control the bowel movements, did not eat or drink for a month and kept pulling, suddenly lost a large circle of weight, and the small body curled up into a ball and nestled in the hospital bed. The picture shows Li Xingyu on the hospital bed looking distressing.
"Two days ago the child cried and said, 'Mom, I want to live, I want to study, you don't give up on me, we work together to defeat the virus.'" I was heartbroken, how could I be willing to give up my child, he was still so young, but we were really cornered..." Li Linyan said.
So far, Mr. and Mrs. Li Jingting have been caring for their children in the ward and have lost their financial resources. Li Jingting's family, from the countryside of Linhai City, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, has four elderly people who make ends meet by farming, and an eldest son who goes to primary school and does not have much savings. The second son, Li Xingyu, has now spent more than 500,000 yuan on treatment, and the foreign debt is more than 400,000 yuan, and he can no longer borrow money. The daily treatment cost of the child's intestinal rejection is more than 10,000, and Li Jingting is overwhelmed by this rising cost. The picture shows the child's grandfather taking care of the vegetable field.
"The children also want to go home, the eldest son of the family also wants us, and we also want to take the children home early." Li Jingting said helplessly. At present, Li Xingyu's intestinal rejection situation is becoming more and more serious, and the child is becoming more and more emaciated, so I would like to ask all caring people to help Li Xingyu's family.
