Edit/Trivia of those years

Character: Xiao Tong (pseudonym)

The 7-year-old boy's spine was covered with black bugs, and these worms were devouring his life almost every moment.

Doctors say that if he does not undergo surgery soon, he may only have half a year or a year left to live. However, even after surgery, there is a high chance that your child will not be able to get off the operating table.

After hearing the doctor's story, the parents wept bitterly on the spot, knelt on the ground and prayed to the doctor to save their son, while the mother cried and blamed her own negligence for the child's son's condition.

It turned out that the child's condition was not caused by a day or two, and the child had been abnormal since the illness, and the child, who was originally alive and kicking, suddenly became weak in the lower limbs, and once needed a wheelchair to travel when the condition was serious.

And every time he was sick, the child said that his neck and arms were like countless insects biting him, and it seemed to be painful but not painful, and it seemed to be itchy but not itchy.

This symptom becomes more pronounced especially at night.

However, when the parents asked which location it was, the child could not say.

Since the child is also in the golden period of growth, the parents do not think about the disease, and listen to the older generation, when the child grows, the muscles and bones will be stretched.

In this way, every time they saw their children trembling, parents did not think of taking their children to the hospital.

Until 2021, Xiao Tong accidentally broke his ankle once, and said that "it hurts his muscles and bones for a hundred days", but he has not recovered for several months.

The child's feet were not only not good, but they were getting worse and worse, which attracted the attention of his parents.

After that, the parents took the child to the local major hospitals for examination, and the checklists were stacked and stacked, but they could not find out what the problem was.

It wasn't until they went to the largest hospital in the provincial capital, and after several days of inpatient examination, they finally determined the cause of the child's disease, which was a huge tumor in the spine.

After hearing this horrific result, the parents instantly collapsed on the ground.

Then they received the bad news that the child might not live more than a year without surgery. Even after surgery, the child may die or be paralyzed.

In order to give the child surgery as soon as possible, parents want to give it a try even if they know the risks of the operation.

However, the doctor told them that the hospital did not have the medical conditions and that they had to go to the hospital in Beijing.

When they came to Beijing, they also went to all the hospitals and saw many well-known experts, but they all said that they could not do anything.

It wasn't until they came to the deputy chief physician of the Department of Neurosurgery at Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University in Beijing that they came.

Under the supervision of Dr. Tsang, they were immediately admitted to the hospital, and Dr. Tsang immediately arranged for the child to start a check-up to understand the child's latest condition and treat the symptoms.

After examination, it was found that the child had an abnormal lump of 15cm long in the cervical vertebrae, this huge mass was compressing his spinal nerves, and it was also found that the child's spinal cord was very fragile, and the slightest inadvertent compression would eventually endanger the child's life.

In addition, the spinal cord has been damaged, and Dr. Zeng suspects that it is a malignant change caused by the long-term compression of the spinal cord by the tumor.

At the same time, the lesion of the spinal cord leads to spinal cord failure, and with the increase of the tumor, the spinal membrane has become abnormal, which will lead to the phenomenon of incontinence of the child, and the consequences are unimaginable if the child is not immediately treated with surgery.

Later, Dr. Zeng informed the parents of all the possible consequences of the child's illness, saying that he would definitely be unable to recover without surgery, but it was also prone to some unexpected problems.

After several hours of consideration, the child's parents trembled and signed their names on the risk sheet for surgery.

Dr. Tsang then organized a seminar with various experts on the child's condition, and after several rounds of consultation, Dr. Tsang finally changed the original operation to two.

Because the pathological condition of the child is more special, the physical characteristics are not allowed.

Soon the time for the operation also came as scheduled, and as the child was pushed to the operating room, the hearts of the loved ones outside kept beating.

As the anesthesia took effect, the doctor began to connect the child to the electrophysiological monitoring equipment, and the operation began to be related to the child's life.

After 8 hours of non-stop surgery, Dr. Zeng told the parents of the child a great news after the operation.

During the operation, when the spinal cord was over, they found that it was not a tumor that was pressing on the spinal cord, but blood stasis.

In other words, the child did not need a second operation, and the operation was very successful.

After hearing this, the child's parents immediately knelt down to thank Dr. Zeng and were helped up from the ground.

The child, who had just undergone surgery, was still in a coma and was sent to the ICU for observation

On the 4th day after surgery, the child recovered well, his condition has changed greatly, and he can still get out of bed and move with support.

After half a month in the hospital, the child finally ended his long journey to treatment.

Today, children are able to learn in the same bright classrooms as other children.
