Wuhan Evening News (Reporter Wang Chunlan, Correspondent Li Han) A fist-sized tumor was found in his stomach just two months after birth. The operation is difficult and the home is incapable of treatment.
The nurse tried to seek donations from caring people. The doctor performed meticulously and finally rescued the baby girl. On the 9th, the baby was discharged safely from the hospital.
The baby girl's name is Meimei (a pseudonym) and she comes from the rural area of Xiangyang, Hubei.
Mother Ms. Liu gave birth to her eldest son 3 years ago. After being pregnant with Meimei, she didn't have a check-up on time.
In May of this year, Meimei, who weighed 6 kilograms, was born, but after the full moon, the weight gain was not obvious, but the belly became more and more bulging.
An examination at the local hospital revealed that Meimei had a tumor in her belly, the size of an adult's fist.
The operation was difficult and risky. The local hospital hurriedly transferred Meimei to the Women's and Children's Hospital of Wuhan University Zhongnan Hospital. After that, it was diagnosed as a left retroperitoneal tumor and must be removed immediately.
But the family's economic conditions are not well-off, and the 80,000 yuan of surgery and treatment costs stumped a family.
When changing the dressing of Meimei, the head nurse of pediatric surgery at the hospital, Yu Shanzhen, saw Ms. Liu crying while holding Meimei, and asked carefully what was going on. He approached Chen Hong, the head nurse of the Women's and Children's Hospital of Zhongnan Hospital, and tried to seek help for Meimei.
The child's condition should not be delayed. On July 12, Zhang Wenxian, director of pediatric surgery at Zhongnan Hospital, performed an operation on Meimei.
The child’s abdomen is almost filled with tumors and closely adheres to the spleen, pancreas and other organs. A little carelessness may be life-threatening.
Zhang Wendai's team accurately removed the tumor for Meimei, and the operation was successfully completed.
Fortunately, a few days later, it happened that Mr. Gao, a caring person in Shenzhen, decided to donate 80,000 yuan to the Zhongnan Charity Foundation and designated a child patient.
After communication and negotiation, on July 20, Mr. Gao signed a donation agreement with the foundation to donate 80,000 yuan to Meimei to solve the costs of surgery and follow-up treatment.
With love and support, Meimei gradually recovered and was discharged home from the hospital on 9th.
After reimbursement through medical insurance and other channels, Meimei’s surgery and treatment costs are less than 80,000 yuan, and the excess donation will be returned to the foundation for the treatment of other children.
