The father kissed the baby: "Son, hold on"
"Mother sacrificed so much, son, hold on!" At about 7:00 a.m. on March 21, after watching his wife being pushed into the operating room, Mr. Cheng kissed Yangyang to cheer him up.
Yang Yang's family lives in Anlu, Hubei Province, and soon after his birth, his parents found that his body was white, and the jaundice on his body became heavier and heavier, and after 30 days, his whole body turned yellowish green. At first, the couple thought that the child was jaundice, and after several trips to Tongji Hospital for treatment, they learned that Yangyang was suffering from biliary atresia and was already accompanied by irreversible cirrhosis.
According to Yang Jixin, associate professor and deputy chief physician of pediatric surgery, biliary atresia is a blockage of the extrahepatic bile ducts, which cannot excrete bile, which in turn causes cirrhosis.
When Yang Yang went to Tongji for treatment, it had been almost 80 days. "We wanted to do a liver transplant directly." Mr. Cheng said that the doctor diagnosed that Yang Yang's condition had dragged on for too long, and his body was completely unable to withstand liver transplant surgery, and he had to do Kasai surgery first.
After Yangyang finished Gesai's surgery, his mother took him back to Anlu's hometown for recuperation, and Mr. Cheng continued to work in Guangzhou. "The child will eventually have a liver transplant, and I want to work harder than before to make money and save for the child's surgery."
"I'm willing to give him the whole liver!"
At the end of 2021, Mr. Cheng, who works in Guangzhou, received a phone call: "The child's liver is broken and needs to be transplanted." You are the pillar of the family, my liver can be given to the child, you come back soon to sign. ”
Listening to his wife's crying on the phone, Mr. Cheng only said one sentence: "Got it." At night, he cried alone in a rental house in Guangzhou.
"It's too hard." Before Yangyang found out that the biliary tract was closed, the couple were working in Guangzhou. "Masons, who don't make much money in a year, just enough to support a family." Mr. Cheng told reporters that Yangyang also has a 17-year-old sister, if Yangyang is not sick, the family's life is tight, but it is still stable.
He looked out the window: "If the child hadn't had this disease, how good it would have been." ”

When the couple told the old man about the decision, Yang Yang's grandfather resolutely objected, and he worried about the safety of his daughter-in-law: "How can the liver of a living person be cut?" In case the operation is not successful, the child is gone, and the daughter-in-law is gone, what will the family do? ”
But Yang Yang's mother did not waver in the slightest: "I am willing to give him the whole liver!" ”
"The regenerative ability of the liver is very strong, and the child's mother will be fine." Mr. Cheng patiently persuaded Yangyang's grandfather to believe in medicine.
On the eve of the operation, the grandmother who was far away in Anlu was worried that she had not slept all night, and early this morning she called Mr. Cheng by video to see her daughter-in-law, but at this time, Yangyang's mother had already pushed into the operating room. Grandma cried as she spoke, "My daughter-in-law is very kind and a great mother!" ”
Mom transplanted 240 grams of liver into Yang Yang body
At 9:40 a.m., Professor Zhang Wanguang of Tongji Liver Surgery began to perform liver extraction surgery for Yangyang mother; at 11:25, the liver extraction operation was completed, and 240 grams of liver were successfully removed from Yangyang Mother's body; at 11:50, the mother's liver was transported into the baby's operating room to be transplanted into the baby's body.
Knowing that his wife's liver surgery was successfully completed, Mr. Cheng walked out of the ward and stayed at the elevator entrance, hoping to receive his wife at the first time. After a few minutes, realizing that his wife would not come down so quickly, he walked back to the ward. "My son was saved, and his heart was half laid down." After a few minutes, he stood up anxiously again: "Will my wife be all right?" ”
Surgical sutures are 1/5 thinner than a human hair
"The surgical sutures used this time are 1/5 thinner than a human hair." Zhu Tianqi, deputy chief physician and associate professor of pediatric surgery at Tongji Hospital, told reporters that pediatric parental liver transplantation is the most difficult operation in organ transplantation and is known as the "crown jewel".
"Operating on children is like repairing a watch, compared with adults, the complexity and sophistication of the same disease, and the difficulty of surgical operations are multiplied." Professor Feng Jiexiong, director of pediatric surgery, said that biliary atresia is a benign disease that will not recur like a tumor, and as long as the anti-rejection drugs and follow-up are taken according to the doctor's guidance after the transplantation, they can survive.
According to the clinical study of Tongji Pediatric Surgery, the overall cure rate after pediatric liver transplantation can reach 98%, and the 5-year survival rate is more than 95%.
After successful surgery
Mr. Cheng waited anxiously in the ward for a day
Lean over and tell your wife in the hospital bed
"The operation was successful,
Your liver will grow again in your son's body,
Grow up to the way he needs to...
You have to cheer up too. ”
The love of parents for their children
It is the most moving emotion in the world
I wish mother and child a speedy recovery!
Let's cheer for the Yangyang family!
