The love of her older sister, an act that helped save her life! From the Newspapers, translated…
A 37-year-old Indonesian Taiwanese resident, Wu with progressive kidney disease and hypertension, married here almost twenty years ago, as she was diagnosed as the last stage of kidney disease, there was also the complication of uremia, she’s in dire need of a kidney transplant. Her older sister flew over and donated a kidney to her, she was so moved, “We can’t even buy a kidney for $10,000,000 in Indonesia, her sister was willing to help save her life with no strings attached, she is, a lifesaver.”
Wu’s husband died two years ago, leaving her and her two children, she’d carried the burdens of raising her kids, and in the dual pressures of life and not keeping up a regular schedule, she’d experiencing signs such as vomiting, shortness of breath, fatigue, lack of appetite, later on, she had complications of uremia, pulmonary edema, and heart failure too.
The director of the hospital, Max Wu pointed out, that consider Wu’s age and the long-term care conveniences, they’d suggested she receive a donation from someone living.
She’d told them, that back when she first started getting ill, she’d told her siblings back home, not knowing, that her third eldest sister who’s a housewife in Indonesia had actually made the trip in August to get her kidney matched with hers, and, as they discovered it was a match, they’d immediately done the surgeries.
The surgeon director of Shuanhe Hospital, Chen said, that the success rates of kidney transplants depended on the genetic matches, if it was from a healthy relative, then, the success rate is about 90 percent a year after the surgeries. He said that they’d used the endoscopic surgical methods for this surgery to harvest the organs, that the wound was tiny, and the donor only needed to be hospitalized for six days total, after no signs of complications, after her surgeries, Wu was no longer in intense pain, she’d made a speedy recovery, and the costs is way lower.
“I don’t think being grateful comes close to describing how I feel”, Wu told, that back then, her third eldest sister came to visit her in Taiwan, she was distressed about how weak she’d looked, and decided right then and there to donate a kidney to save her, she’d worried that she’s in no condition for the transplant, but it was very successful, that all of her friend back home were happy for her, she’s truly moved by this lifesaving act of her third eldest sister, and very grateful toward her too.
So, this woman saw that her younger sister needed her kidney, without a second thought, she’d hopped on a plane, and came and donated that life-saving kidney to her younger sister, and they may have been close to one another before, but this act of selflessness, of saving her sister’s life will bring them even closer to each other that’s for certain.
