"Mom, I know that you are not successful in matching your brother, and when I am successful, I will go to my brother for a transplant." In the ward of Zhengda First Affiliated Hospital in Zhengzhou, Henan, 18-year-old Zhu Zhenghao discussed with his mother that he wanted to transplant his brother. Younger brother Zhu Zanchen, 12 years old this year, because of abdominal pain in Luoyang Central Hospital underwent small bowel resection, diagnosed with short bowel syndrome, also known as no intestines, since then living a life of relying on nutritional solutions, a day just "meal fee" to get thousands of yuan. The picture shows Zhu Zanchen on a hospital bed.
In the more than two months since the child was ill, his mother Wu Yuping resigned from work, and his brother Zhu Zhenghao also took a leave of absence from school to accompany his mother to take full care of his younger brother. On Zhu Zanchen's thin left arm, a layer of white gauze was tightly wrapped around the gauze, and a slender infusion tube was inserted in the gauze. At the other end of the infusion tube, attached was a bag of beige nutrient solution, which was a daily must-have meal for him. Zhu Zhenghao's father worked in Algeria thousands of miles away, and since his brother fell ill, his brother Zhu Zhenghao felt that he was the pillar of this family, and there were some things that he should take care of.

On November 16, 2018, 12-year-old Zhu Zanchen suddenly had abdominal pain and vomiting, which frightened his mother. The mother urgently took him to the county people's hospital for medical treatment, at first the doctor said that it was acute enteritis and needed hospitalization, but before the mother could complete the formalities, the child had convulsions and then fainted in the corridor. With the sound of 120 first aid, Zhu Zanchen's fate was changed in this instant, and his family's peaceful life was completely disrupted. The picture shows Zhu Zanchen after the operation.
Zhu Zanchen was rushed to Luoyang Central Hospital, where he was already in a state of shock and the situation was not optimistic. Looking at her son, the mother could not cry, no matter how she called out his name, there was no response. Zhu Zanchen was sent to the intensive care unit at that time, and after some series of examinations, the doctor told his mother that the child's small intestine was knotted, necrosis occurred, and urgent surgery was needed. The picture shows the mother taking care of her son.
When her son pushed into the operating room, the mother stared blankly at the closed operating door, expecting a miracle in her child's operation. The waiting time was extremely long, that night, my mother kept pulling on the hem of her clothes, her palms were sweating, her eyes were always staring at the door of the operating room, experiencing fear that she had never experienced before. The picture shows that after her son fell ill, her mother often shed tears secretly.
Zhu Zanchen's operation lasted 8 hours, and as he watched the doctor walk out of the operating room, his mother rushed up to inquire about his brother's situation. But before the mother spoke, the doctor spoke first, "Be mentally prepared, the child has now had a small bowel resection operation, temporarily unable to eat, now can only rely on nutritional solution to maintain life, and there will be many complications in the later stage..." Finally, Zhu Zanchen was diagnosed with short bowel syndrome, in order to save his life, he could only do small bowel resection surgery, and not a centimeter was left. The picture shows Zhu Zhenghao and his mother taking care of their younger brother.
The moment she heard the news, my mother sat on the ground and cried bitterly, feeling that the sky was about to fall. "Prepare the money for the transplant, the child is not awake yet, if you do not wake up, it is also a relief for the child." The doctor's words were like needles in her heart. The picture shows Zhu Zanchen sticking a pipe all the time.
Zhu Zanchen was hospitalized in Luoyang Hospital for nearly 20 days, and his stomach was pierced with three holes and connected by three rubber tubes, which also maintained Zhu Zanchen's life. During this period, the mother kept asking the doctor whether there was a place to treat the child's illness, and the child did not drop water after the operation, and the weight dropped from 40 kg to 28 kg, and the person became a "skin and bone". Due to the necrosis of the small intestine, the abdominal cavity is open, and every cleaning of the abdominal cavity is a tribulation for Zhu Zanchen, but he grits his teeth and insists.
Since there was no suitable treatment plan in Luoyang Hospital, Zhu Zhenghao accompanied his mother and brought his younger brother Zhu Zanchen to Zhengda First Affiliated Hospital for medical treatment, and the doctor said that he had not done similar transplant surgery and could not guarantee the outcome of the operation. When my mother asked about the cost, the doctor also said that it was much more difficult than a liver transplant and kidney transplant. My mother inquired afterwards to learn that the cost of liver and kidney transplantation was 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, and the cost of small intestine transplantation was even more. The picture shows Zhu Zanchen in the ward.
Zhu Zanchen's father went abroad to work with his relatives half a year ago, and after learning that the child was sick, he was anxious to come back and was stopped by his mother. After the child fell ill, it has cost more than 100,000 yuan, and the relatives and friends who can borrow at home have borrowed it again, although the father's salary has not been paid so far, but after all, it is a hope for the child. Today, the mother has already washed in the bag, and the child's nutrient solution is also facing interruption. The picture shows Zhu Zanchen video talking to his father thousands of miles away, and he told his father, "I can do it." ”
Zhu Zanchen did not understand transplantation, only knew that he could not eat when he was very hungry now, every time he watched others eat, his eyes looked straight ahead, constantly asking his mother when he could eat, he did not even know that his current daily nutritious meal was more than a thousand, and how difficult it was for his mother to make this "meal" for him. The picture shows Zhu Zanchen lying on a hospital bed infused with nutrient solution.
Now Zhu Zanchen can only lie on the hospital bed every day, and the doctors say that it is already a miracle that the child can survive, and now transplantation is the best way. If there is no transplant, it can only rely on nutrient solutions to maintain life, and even then, the liver will lose its function because it is "idle" for a long time, and eventually it will die due to multi-organ failure.

"I gave my brother a transplant, and I can bear the pain." Zhu Zhenghao said that he heard that Xijing Hospital in Xi'an could transplant his brother, and he and his mother planned to take his brother to Xijing for medical transplantation. However, this road may also be ruined because there is no money. (Lin Xi) original works, unauthorized, it is strictly forbidden to reprint in any form, infringement will be investigated!
