Yangtze River Daily Wuhan client March 21 news "My daughter-in-law is a great mother! At 7:00 a.m. on March 21, when she learned that her daughter-in-law had been pushed into the operating room, grandma cried silently during a video call with her 1-year-old and 4-month-old grandson Yangyang: "I was worried that I hadn't slept all night." ”
Before entering the operating room, Yangyang's mother kissed her son.
On December 28, 2021, Yang Yang, who suffered from biliary atresia, underwent Gesai surgery at the Pediatric Surgery Department of Tongji Children's Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the yellowing was obvious, and soon changed from a small "green person" to a "white and tender", and the nutrition was obviously better absorbed. But the good times did not last long, less than a year after the operation, Yangyang began to have ascites, low protein, low platelets, low immunity, due to cholangitis high fever does not go away.

At this time, the nearly one-and-a-half-year-old Yang Yang was only 10.3 kg, jaundice was obvious, appetite loss, and repeated episodes of cholangitis in recent months were difficult to control. "Our team has conducted research that recurrent cholangitis and malnutrition after Kasai surgery are also indications for liver transplantation in children with biliary atresia." Yang Jixin, associate professor and deputy chief physician of pediatric surgery at the hospital, said.
Professor Feng Jiexiong, director of pediatric surgery at Tongji Children's Hospital, immediately organized a consultation with the whole hospital, and pediatric surgery, pediatrics, liver surgery, anesthesia department, and operating room discussed many times, and finally decided to use 19% of Yangyang mother's liver for parental liver transplantation.
"Here I come!" Yangyang mother did not hesitate, the first time decided to donate liver to save her son.
However, there are different voices among relatives, worried that there will be sequelae after Yangyang Mother cuts the liver, in case the child's operation is not successful, it is undoubtedly another abyss for this family. But she did not waver in the slightest: "Don't say 19%, the whole liver to him I am willing!" ”
"The child is so cute, how do you let us give up on him?" Mr. Cheng hugged the child and muttered to himself: "As a parent, no matter how difficult it is, you must continue to hold on." ”
