Liu Wenfang said that since Sun Kai's blood sample was sent to the bone marrow bank on April 2, the whole family had been waiting for the screening results. Now, after nearly a month of waiting, they finally heard the good news that the initial match was successful. "We feel we are one big step closer to success, and we are extremely excited," Liu Wenfang said.
On May 4, Liu Wenfang happily announced that little Sun Kai's bone marrow matching had initially succeeded. On May 1, she specially went to the Beijing Military Region Hospital where the attending doctor informed her that after screening all the samples from the bone marrow bank volunteers, the result showed an initial match success, and a suitable donor had been found for little Sun Kai. "When I heard this news, I was very moved and felt that the child could be saved this time," Liu Wenfang said.
Yesterday morning, little Sun Kai had another bone marrow sample taken and sent to the Beijing Military Region Hospital. The doctor will conduct tests on the sample to observe the changes in various indicators since Sun Kai became ill, in preparation for the bone marrow transplant surgery.

After a month of waiting, good news finally came about Sun Kai's bone marrow matching. After screening all the volunteers in the bone marrow bank, Sun Kai's preliminary matching was successful. The doctor said that next, high-resolution testing of the blood samples and physical examinations of the volunteers would be conducted. If everything goes smoothly, Sun Kai could be scheduled for a bone marrow transplant surgery in half a month.
According to the doctor, if everything goes well, in half a month, Sun Kai will find that anonymous donor. Since the donor information cannot be disclosed to the patient, the identity of the volunteer remains a mystery for now.
As of yesterday, Sun Kai's love account received over 248,000 yuan in donations from all sectors of society. Adding the nearly 40,000 yuan donated by relevant departments and kind-hearted people personally, Sun Kai has currently received over 280,000 yuan in love donations. "If it weren't for the help of kind-hearted people, we wouldn't know what state Sun Kai would be in now. We are extremely grateful to everyone," Liu Wenfang expressed her gratitude. Liu Wenfang said that on April 30, a Mr. Yang from Handan who was going to a meeting in Beijing passed through Cangzhou and specially came to the hospital to leave 5,000 yuan for the child. A Ms. Cui from Wuqiao also specially came to Cangzhou to visit little Sun Kai and donated 500 yuan on behalf of herself and a friend surnamed Dong. Jian Guo Qing Zhen Si donated 4,000 yuan and then sent another 4,050 yuan...
Liu Wenfang said that on April 30, the platelets her son received were also donated by a volunteer. Kind-hearted people care for and protect her son from all aspects, and their family will always remember this favor and be grateful forever.
Liu Wenfang said that she consulted the doctor, and the cost for entering the cabin for a bone marrow transplant is 300,000 yuan, plus other expenses, totaling around 340,000 to 350,000 yuan.
Liu Wenfang said that now she and her husband are looking forward to the subsequent screening being successfully completed because if a suitable volunteer can be found, her son can be scheduled for a bone marrow transplant surgery as soon as possible. "The doctor said that children like Sun Kai with aplastic anemia, compared to leukemia patients, after a bone marrow transplant, it is equivalent to having hematopoietic function, and there is almost no possibility of the disease recurring."
Next, the doctor explained the knowledge about bone marrow matching to Liu Wenfang. The doctor said that although the initial match was successful, high-resolution testing of the blood samples still needs to be done, and a strict physical examination of the volunteer is required. Whether or not a suitable donor can ultimately be found will take approximately another half month to determine.
