Women are weak, but mothers are strong. Mother's love is the world's most selfless and great, and around us, there are always stories of mother's love that make people move. An ordinary mother named Wang Taoying in Xiaochang County, she donated her left kidney to give her daughter Song Yingying a second life, and did her best to protect her child's future.
On December 10, 2022, 25-year-old Song Yingying was diagnosed with uremia due to symptoms such as vomiting, cough, fever, and syncope, and was rushed to the ICU of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology for treatment. In 2023, Song Yingying will be hospitalized 9 times due to her repeated illness, but the situation will continue to worsen, not only necrosis of both kidneys, but also a series of serious complications due to uremia, and the danger of cardiac arrest may occur at any time, and her life has come to the "edge of life and death".
"At that time, I couldn't walk, I couldn't breathe, and I thought about how I could get this disease when I was only in my 20s, and I was desperate." Song Yingying said.
"My child has to go to the hospital for dialysis three times a week, and I feel very distressed to see the needles thicker than blood vessels digging deep into the child's arm, and I hide outside and cry secretly every time. But Yingying is very strong, always gritting her teeth and bearing it silently, she also encouraged me to say, it's okay, Mom, I don't hurt. Mother Wang Taoying said.
"The only way to save lives is to have a kidney transplant." The doctor's words made the desperate Song Yingying's family see the dawn of life. Knowing that a relative's kidney transplant could be performed, her mother Wang Taoying instinctively made a decision - to transplant her own kidney to save the child. Fortunately, after evaluation, Wang Taoying's physical condition is good and meets the criteria for kidney donation.
"Our whole family cares about my sister very much and is willing to donate her own kidney. After the successful matching, my mother was also very resolute and asked to donate her own kidney. We were very worried, but supported my mother's decision. The younger brother Seinfeld told reporters.
"I'm very happy that the match was successful. The doctor said that we were very sure, and although we were nervous and scared, we still had a glimmer of hope to give it a try. I gave her her first life, and I will give her a second life when the child is in danger. As long as she is in good health, I am willing to give everything. Mother Wang Taoying said.
Wang Taoying's voluntary act of cutting off her kidney to save her daughter touched many people around her. After learning that Song Yingying's parents and husband had done everything for Song Yingying's treatment and urgently needed to borrow money for surgery, Song Yingying's uncle and cousin took the initiative to help her collect nearly 200,000 yuan for kidney transplant surgery.
"My uncle said, you don't have to worry about money, you can only have peace of mind about surgery. He sold what he was doing business with and lent me all the money. I am very grateful to my uncle, my brother for helping me, and so many people who care about me, and I have the courage to overcome my illness. Song Yingying said.
On April 24, in Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the left kidney donated by mother Wang Taoying was successfully transplanted into the body of her daughter Song Yingying, and the mother and daughter were once again "connected by blood". After the operation, Song Yingying's condition was stable, and her complexion gradually recovered.
"Now I can drink 2,500 ml of water a day, I can eat and drink more freely, and I feel alive again. In addition to taking medicine every day and regular check-ups, I am already very satisfied, because it was really uncomfortable to control water before. Song Yingying said.
Wang Taoying said that the first thing she did after the operation was to care about her daughter's situation, and when she learned that the operation went well, she finally let go of the heart she had been hanging on.
"In the past, Yingying's face was always swollen and purple, but after the kidney transplant, the swelling on her face has subsided and the dark spots have subsided. I see that she is much better than before, and I feel much more comfortable and relieved, and I hope she will be fine in the future. Mother Wang Taoying said.
After learning the good news of the good indicators of the re-examination, on May 10, after returning home from the hospital for re-examination, Song Yingying excitedly gave her mother an affectionate hug as soon as she entered the door, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and felt the joy of the rest of their lives after the disaster.
"Don't worry about it, you know? Everything will be fine, and then we will suffer less in the future, and our days will get better and better, come on! Mother Wang Taoying said.
During Song Yingying's illness, her mother not only took care of Song Yingying's daily life, but also helped take care of her children. Song Yingying said that it was the care and unity of her family that gave her the confidence to resist the disease.
"Thank you to my mom for giving me a second life. She is usually very afraid of pain, but I am also very distressed to pay such a big price for me. I will cherish the kidney that my mother gave me, I will live well, and I hope that my mother will be healthy and healthy in the future. Song Yingying said.
"When her daughter is sick, Yingying's mother is willing to donate her kidney to her daughter, she is a great mother. Our community has a good evaluation of Yingying's mother, and their family is very united. Neighbor Zhou Qunying said.
