Ngo-2016, umntwana oyintombazana waseLewisville, eTexas, “wazalwa” kabini emva kokuba ekhutshiwe esibelekweni sikanina kangangemizuzu engama-20 ukuze enze utyando olusindisa ubomi.
Kwiiveki ezili-16 ekhulelwe, uMargaret Hawkins Boemer wafumanisa ukuba intombi yakhe, uLynlee Hope, wayenethumba kumqolo wakhe.
Ubunzima, obaziwa ngokuba yi-sacrococcygeal teratoma, beluphambukisa igazi kwimveku engekazalwa – inyusa umngcipheko wokungaphumeleli kwentliziyo. Luhlobo olunqabileyo lokukhula oluthi iingcali zithi lufumaneka kwi-1 kubantwana abazalwayo abangama-35,000. Ikhula kumsila wosana.
Kwimeko kaLynlee omncinane, kuthiwa ithumba liye lakhula kangangokuba laliphantse libe likhulu kunemveku engekazalwa. UGqr. Oluyinka Olutoye, kunye neqabane lakhe, uGqr. Darrell Cass, kwafuneka basebenze iiyure ezintlanu ukuze bayisuse baze baluphelise ngempumelelo olo tyando.
Yayilutyando olusindisa ubomi, ekwakufuneka oogqirha botyando babe nomonde, bacokise, baze babonise ukuphapha okubukhali kwencakuba. Babenomsebenzi wokukhupha ithumba kumntwana ongekazalwa ngelo xesha owayeselusana olungekazalwa oluneveki ezingama-23 kuphela, enobunzima obuyi-1lb 3oz (0.53kg).
UNksk. Boemer ekuqaleni wayelindele amawele, kodwa waphulukana nomntwana wakhe omnye phambi kwekota yesibini. Waye wacetyiswa ekuqaleni ukuba akuphelise ukukhulelwa kwakhe ngokupheleleyo ngaphambi kokuba oogqirha baseTexas Children's Fetal Centre bacebise ngotyando oluyingozi.
Umngcipheko wanda ngenxa yokuba ithumba kunye nosana olungekazalwa lwaluphantse lulingane ngexesha lotyando. ULynlee wanikwa ama-50% ithuba lokusinda.
UGqirha uDarrell Cass weZiko leeFetal yaBantwana laseTexas uthe eli thumba belilikhulu kangangokuba kwafuneka ukuba lisikwe “elikhulu” ukuze lifike kulo, lishiya usana “lujinga emoyeni”.
Intliziyo kaLynlee yaphantse yema ngexesha lotyando kodwa ingcali yentliziyo yamgcina ephila ngelixa uninzi lwethumba lalisusiwe, wongeze watsho uGqr. Cass. Eli qela laphinda lambuyisela esibelekweni sikanina laze lasithungela phezulu isibeleko sakhe.
UNksz Boemer wachitha iiveki ezizayo ze-12 kwi-bedrest, kwaye u-Lynlee wangena kwihlabathi okwesibini ngoJuni 6th ka-2016. Wazalwa nge-Caesarean phantse ixesha elipheleleyo, enobunzima be-5Ib kunye ne-5oz, kwaye wathiywa ngegama likamakhulu wakhe bobabini.
Xa uLynlee wayeneentsuku ezisibhozo ubudala, utyando olongezelelekileyo lwamnceda wakhupha elinye ithumba kwithambo lomsila. Kwaye uGqr. Cass uthe umntwana oyintombazana ngoku wayesekhaya kwaye uyachuma. “UBaby Boemer uselusana kodwa uqhuba kakuhle,” utshilo.
Nangona uLynlee wayekhuselekile, kwakusenendlela ende ekufuneka ayihambile, kodwa oogqirha bamangaliswa yinkqubela yakhe. Emva kokwenza utyando olongezelelweyo, uchithe iintsuku ezingama-24 kwi-NICU kwiSibhedlele saBantwana saseTexas ngaphambi kokuba enze uhambo oluya kwikhaya losapho lwakhe kuMantla eTexas.
Kwiinyanga ezalandelayo, wanyangwa, waya kugqirha izihlandlo ezininzi, novavanyo oluninzi. Rhoqo kwiinyanga ezintathu, uLynlee wayesiya eHouston ukuze avavanywe ngakumbi. Phezu kwayo nje loo ntlungu, wazingqina engumntu nje oqhelekileyo. Emva koko, uLynlee uye wadibana neziganeko ezibalulekileyo kwaye waphuhliswa njengesiqhelo.
