Emasontweni angu-16 ekhulelwe, uMargaret Hawkins Boemer wathola ukuthi indodakazi yakhe, uLynlee Hope, yayinesimila emgogodleni.
Isisindo, esaziwa njenge-sacrococcygeal teratoma, besiphambukisa igazi elisuka embungwini - kukhulisa ubungozi bokufa kwenhliziyo okubulalayo. Uhlobo lokukhula olungavamile ochwepheshe abathi lutholakala koku-1 kokunye kokuzalwa okungama-35,000. Ikhula ethanjeni lomsila wengane.
Endabeni kaLynlee omncane, kuthiwa isimila sakhula kakhulu kangangokuba sasicishe sibe sikhulu kunombungu. UDkt Oluyinka Olutoye, kanye nomlingani wakhe, uDkt Darrell Cass, bekufanele basebenze amahora amahlanu ukuyisusa nokuqeda umsebenzi ngempumelelo.
Kwakuwumsebenzi osindisa impilo, lapho odokotela abahlinzayo kwakudingeka babekezele, baqaphele futhi babonise ukuqapha okubukhali. Babenomsebenzi wokususa isimila enganeni engakazalwa ngaleso sikhathi eyayiyimbungu engakazalwa enamasonto angama-23 ubudala, enesisindo esingu-1lb 3oz kuphela (0.53kg).
UNkk Boemer ekuqaleni wayelindele amawele, kodwa walahlekelwa yingane yakhe eyodwa ngaphambi kwe-trimester yesibili. Ekuqaleni wayelulekwa ukuba anqamule ukukhulelwa kwakhe ngokuphelele ngaphambi kokuba odokotela baseTexas Children's Fetal Center baphakamise ukuthi ahlinzwe okuyingozi.
Ingcuphe yanda ngoba isimila nengane engakazalwa yayicishe ilingane ngesikhathi sokuhlinzwa. U-Lynlee wanikezwa ithuba lokusinda ngama-50%.
UDokotela uDarrell Cass waseTexas Children's Fetal Center uthe isimila besisikhulu kangangokuba kudingeke ukuthi kusike imbobo enkulu, okushiya ingane “ilenga emoyeni”.

UNkk. Boemer wachitha amasonto ayi-12 alandelayo elele embhedeni, kanti uLynlee wangena emhlabeni okwesibili ngoJuni 6 ka-2016. Wazalwa nge-Caesarean cishe isikhathi esigcwele, enesisindo esingu-5Ib no-5oz, futhi waqanjwa ngabo bobabili ogogo bakhe.
Lapho uLynlee enezinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili ubudala, ukuhlinzwa okwengeziwe kwasiza ekususeni sonke isimila ethanjeni lakhe lomsila. UDkt Cass uthe ingane yentombazane manje ibisekhaya futhi ichuma. "U-Baby Boemer usewusana kodwa wenza okuhle," ukuqinisekisile.
Yize uLynlee ephephile, luselude ukhalo okusamele aluhambe, kodwa odokotela bamangazwa inqubekela phambili yakhe. Ngemuva kokuhlinzwa okwengeziwe, wachitha izinsuku ezingama-24 e-NICU eTexas Children's Hospital ngaphambi kokuba athathe uhambo oluya ekhaya lomndeni wakhe eNorth Texas.
Ezinyangeni ezalandela, welashwa ngokomzimba, waqokwa kaningi odokotela, futhi wadlondlobala kakhulu. Njalo ezinyangeni ezintathu, uLynlee wayeya eHouston ukuyoqhubeka nokuhlolwa. Naphezu kwalolo sizi, wazibonakalisa esejwayelekile. Ngemuva kwalokho, uLynlee uhlangane nezingqophamlando futhi wakhula ngendlela ejwayelekile.
