In August this year, the condition of Rui Mingcui continued to deteriorate and the People's Hospital of Ma'anshan City once issued a critical notice. Fortunately, the gastrointestinal bleeding was finally under control. But the doctor said that liver transplantation surgery had become inevitable, otherwise Rui Mingcui's life would be in danger.
The strong girl did not hesitate. Having such a obedient and sensible daughter, even with serious illness, Rui Mingcui could still smile brilliantly.
Yang Rong is as lively and lovely as other girls at her age. However, since her mother's old disease relapsed in 2007, her classmates and friends have rarely seen Yang Rong's smile. The sensible girl knows the severity of her mother's condition well. She worries every day about how to treat her mother.
Yang Rong's filial piety moved the residents of Tianjin city through media reports. "Everyone understands the principle that among all kinds of goodness, filial piety comes first, but a 19-year-old girl is so sensible, which really makes people admire and move."
It was not until then that Yang Rong learned that her mother had suffered from schistosomiasis cirrhosis before marriage 20 years ago, and had undergone splenectomy at that time. After the operation, Rui Mingcui's body gradually returned to normal. Unexpectedly, many years later, the disease recurred quietly and had developed to a very serious extent.
In Ma'anshan, Yang Rong had consulted the doctors of the hospital. For families with difficulties, the relatives providing the liver for transplantation is the most ideal method, which can save a large amount of money and also achieve the best therapeutic effect.
In recent days, the local media in Tianjin reported Yang Rong's experience, and she received some social donations one after another. But there is still a big gap in the surgical cost. Fortunately, considering the difficulties of Yang Rong's family and the urgency of saving lives, the hospital has agreed to conduct liver transplantation surgery for Rui Mingcui within this week, and the cost can be owed first.
The news of successful matching strengthened Yang Rong's confidence in curing her mother, but facing the more than 100,000 yuan gap in the surgical cost, the 19-year-old Yang Rong frowned every day.
Later, through acquaintances' introduction, Yang Rong brought her mother to the First Central Hospital of Tianjin. In the liver transplantation center of this hospital, Yang Rong got a good news: it turned out that her blood type was consistent with her mother's. After testing, she could be used as the donor for liver transplantation surgery. As long as 60% of her liver was transplanted into her mother's body, her mother's life could be extended.
Due to reasons such as parents' divorce and mother's long-term illness, this originally not wealthy family had already been unable to bear the burden. Since Rui Mingcui fell ill, her divorced husband still handed over more than 2000 yuan of his monthly salary earned by working to Yang Rong and her mother. In addition, because the family was considered as a poor household, the village committee gave them hundreds of yuan subsidy each month. But these monies were like adding a drop of water to a burning cartload of wood compared to the hundreds of thousands of yuan surgical cost.
Take mother to Beijing for treatment
If your mother is seriously ill and your liver can extend her life, what will you do? The 19-year-old rural girl Yang Rong from Ma'anshan gave her answer: in order to treat her mother, she resolutely abandoned the college entrance examination and now decided to transplant 60% of her liver to her mother.
In October this year, when her former classmates began their new life in the university campus, Yang Rong packed her heavy luggage, brought her frail mother and the 200,000 yuan borrowed from here and there, and went to the capital for the first time in her life to let her mother receive better treatment.
Yang Rong is a native of Huoli Town, Hua Mountain District, Ma'anshan City. In her memory, her mother Rui Mingcui was always very healthy. But since 2007, Rui Mingcui suddenly felt bloated and subsequently developed symptoms such as high fever, vomiting, and gastrointestinal bleeding. The test results of the hospital soon came out - Rui Mingcui suffered from late-stage liver cirrhosis.
Yang Rong is 19 years old this year. If it were not for her mother's encounter with the devilish disease, she should have happily lived in the university campus. Since the beginning of this year, due to her mother's more severe condition, Yang Rong often took leave to take care of her mother at home. Her grades, which were originally good, gradually fell behind. On the eve of the college entrance examination, in order to take care of her seriously ill mother wholeheartedly, Yang Rong hesitated again and again, and finally gave up the opportunity to participate in the college entrance examination.
Liver transplantation can save lives
For patients with late-stage liver cirrhosis, liver transplantation surgery is the best treatment method. Since her mother fell ill, Yang Rong has become an expert in medicine. She clearly understands the necessity of liver transplantation treatment and looks forward to her mother undergoing this surgery as soon as possible.
Mother's critical condition
Since her parents had divorced, taking care of her mother's responsibility fell on the young shoulders of Yang Rong, who was still in high school. Every day, besides dealing with complicated learning tasks, she also had to do housework and take care of her mother. Giving medicine to her mother, preparing meals, and chatting with her mother to relieve pain... These were things Yang Rong had to do every day.
At this point, Rui Mingcui had divorced her husband and was living alone with her daughter Yang Rong. Although the local doctors in Ma'anshan suggested performing liver transplantation surgery as soon as possible, due to living in the countryside and having difficult conditions, Rui Mingcui had been receiving conservative treatment in the hospital through albumin transfusion and going to the hospital for check-ups several times a year.
For Yang Rong, this was undoubtedly a great piece of good news.
