In 2015, 6-year-old Pan Pan was lively and active, and he was happy every day. She had just come home from a trampoline on this day, and it didn't take long for her nose to bleed. The parents quickly took her to the hospital for examination, and the local doctor found that the child's situation was not optimistic, and suggested that the parents should not delay and quickly send her to the First People's Hospital of Guangzhou. After the diagnosis of Wang Shunqing and Zhang Yuping, the director of the Department of Hematology, the child was diagnosed with hepatitis aplastic anemia, and the doctor quickly made the judgment that the child needed a stem cell transplant, and Panpan's parents just stored umbilical cord blood for her.
Ten days after receiving the transplant operation, Panpan's indicators improved significantly, the number of white blood cells and platelets basically recovered, and after 1 month, Panpan was discharged from the hospital. In the subsequent regular follow-up examination, all the indicators of Hope were normal, and now she is preparing for the promotion to primary school. It is understood that this is the first case in South China and the fourth case of autologous cord blood transplantation in China.
After the child recovered, the parents of panning were a little afraid: the cord blood that was inadvertently saved at that time actually became the key to the child's life, and if the long-term was not considered at that time, the child's life may still be swirling in the whirlpool of disease. And because it is self-stored umbilical cord blood, Pan Pan does not need to wait for the matching of unrelated hematopoietic stem cells, and the immune rejection after transplantation is relatively low, and the recovery is more smooth. Although such a real case is not understood by the people of the whole country, it is real.
It is these re-blooming flower-like lives that remind us that knowing cord blood and carefully understanding it can judge and choose it.
Our country is moving forward and medicine is running. But to this day, about 700,000 children with leukemia on the mainland, 30,000-40,000 children have been diagnosed with malignant tumors, and 8.4 million children are suffering from rare diseases. For ordinary children, childhood is colorful, and for sick children, who are accompanied by drugs for many years and fight against diseases, their childhood is bitter. Because of this, cord blood becomes a light that illuminates a child's childhood.
Three-year-old Coco is reticent and does not like to communicate with her family. Mom and Dad feel that their child may have developed language late and did not intervene too much. Until Coco went to kindergarten, still talking upside down and always in a daze, the family took him to the hospital for examination and was diagnosed with autism.
The three-year-old doesn't know what the three words "autism" will bring to him and what he will take away. Often a simple movement, cocoa has to practice for a week or more. Parents have no idea how long such days will last, and children and the whole family will not only be under the pressure of illness, but also forced to be concerned by the social environment.
Later, Coco's mother saw the report that the autologous return of umbilical cord blood could treat autism, and her heart suddenly lit up: when Coco was born, in order to prevent blood diseases, she stored his umbilical cord blood!
"The child's mood is much better, and now he can respond and help the teacher, which is something I didn't dare to think about." Thinking back to the recent changes in her child, Coco's mother was thrilled.
Perhaps, this is the real meaning of our storage of cord blood: every child is sent to Mom and Dad by God's hand. When the little life grows up in the mother's body, the new parents always have many expectations, wanting to make the child's life easy, happy and happy, go to a good school, and have a good future. And when this small ball of meat really fell to the ground, the parents' expectations were only for the health of the child.
Coco's change has given Coco's mother a new understanding of cord blood: "I am willing to share the situation in our family and suggest that relatives and friends around who give birth to children store cord blood." ”
In fact, the role of cord blood is not only to protect the health of its owner, if the baby has siblings, the application rate of this cord blood may be doubled. Parents of children can also cure a series of diseases by transfusing umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood from loved ones. Rather than saying that this cord blood is exclusive to a child, it is better to say that it is a gift of life and a "little health guard" brought to the world by the baby. Judging from the life trajectory of the world's first patient who received stem cell transplantation in 1988, receiving transplant surgery will not affect life, and truly cheer for life and store strength for the future. This may show from the side that the storage and application of cord blood has never been a temporary solution, but a long-term solution, which is a safe way for children to escape from the mud of disease.
Nowadays, the use of cord blood in the mainland is increasing year by year, the number of people storing cord blood is increasing, and the number of diseases that cord blood can treat is increasing. Although there are still a large number of cure gaps, we can optimistically imagine that with the efforts of multi-channel staff, the scope of application of cord blood will continue to expand, and more and more children will regain their sunlight due to cord blood.
Here, I also sincerely tell those parents whose babies are still on the verge of illness, that the progress of medical treatment allows us to look forward to the future, and the salvation brought by cord blood is worthy of our trust.
To friends who are still hesitant to store cord blood for their children, I hope that you can listen to the real voice of umbilical cord blood, and then make a correct judgment on your own situation, look into the distance, and guard the future of your child and the whole family.
