N\u00e1 \u2019n suksesvolle nieroorplanting van \u2019n Brackenfellse ma na haar dogter is al twee op die herstelpad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 lewensreddende operasie het op 21 Januarie in die Christiaan Barnard-hospitaal plaasgevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eers is die ma, Annemarie Smith (62), se nier in \u2019n ses uur lange prosedure verwyder, waarna dit dadelik oorgeplant is in haar dogter, Lizelle van Wyk, in \u2019n verdere ses uur lange operasie. Annemarie is n\u00e1 drie dae uit die hospitaal ontslaan en Lizelle n\u00e1 agt dae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lizelle s\u00ea sy is optimisties oor \u2019n dialise-vrye toekoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2018Vryheid!\u2019 is die eerste woorde wat ek uitgeroep het toe my dokter my n\u00e1 die operasie vra hoe dit met my gaan. Alles het so goed verloop dat ek emosioneel oorweldig was n\u00e1 die sukses van die operasie. My emosies ry nog wipplank, en die snyplekke is nog seer, maar ek sien uit na \u2019n nuwe blaadjie van gesondheid,\u201d s\u00ea Lizelle, wat nou oor 98% nierfunksie beskik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is n\u00e1 die operasie dadelik op medikasie geplaas wat sal verhoed dat haar liggaam die orgaan verwerp. Di\u00e9 medikasie sal sy lewenslank moet gebruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk voel baie goed en ek kan normaal rondbeweeg. Ek het soms slegter dae as gevolg van die newe-effekte van die medikasie, maar is deur dokters verseker dat dit mettertyd sal verdwyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ook met Annemarie gaan dit klopdisselboom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk voel 100% en het geen ongemak nie. Ek voel so nou en dan effens moeg as ek byvoorbeeld \u2019n stel trappe uitstap. My liggaam is besig om aan te pas om met net een nier te funksioneer soos my nier-funksie-vlakke mettertyd styg. Ek besef dat ek my liggaam mooi sal moet oppas, veral in die volgende ses maande van herstel,\u201d s\u00ea Annemarie. Vir haar was dit vanselfsprekend om die geskenk van lewe aan haar dogter te gee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was vir my \u2019n voorreg om nog gesond genoeg te kon wees om dit te doen. Dit was bitter moeilik om haar so siek te sien.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tipe 1-diabetes is op 11 jaar by Lizelle van Wyk gediagnoseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sedertdien leef sy met verskeie komplikasies, soos gloukoom wat haar met net 15% sig gelaat het, neuropatie, \u2019n geamputeerde been (onder die knie) en regtergroottoon, sowel as vier frakture in al die orige tone. In 2022 is vlak 4-nierversaking by haar gediagnoseer. Sy was sedertdien afhanklik van dialise- behandelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat daar bevind is dat Annemarie se weefsel en bloed versoenbaar was met Lizelle s\u2019n en haar nierfunksie-vlakke op 62 nog goed genoeg is om met een nier oor die weg te kom, is die oorplanting n\u00e1 eindelose konsultasies in Oktober verlede jaar goedgekeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir Lizelle is haar ma \u2019n ystervrou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is so lief en dankbaar vir haar. Ek en my ma is baie na aan mekaar, onafskeidbaar. Sy is elke dag by my huis en sorg vir alles wat ek nodig het. Ons is onafskeidbaar.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lizelle wil nou haar verhaal deel om bewustheid te skep oor die impak van diabetes en nierskenking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk sal graag \u2019n boek wil skryf om mense te leer, en om families te help wanneer di\u00e9 siekte beheer oor jou liggaam vat, en ook hoe sterk \u2019n band met jou naastes kan word in hierdie tyd,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDialise is nie \u2019n lewe nie. Dit verleng net jou lewe, maar het soveel negatiewe uitwerkings op jou liggaam. Die waglys vir \u2019n \u201ccadaver kidney<\/span>\u201d is tussen vyf en 10 jaar in ons land. Gesonde mense wat kies om te skenk, red letterlik \u2019n lewe. Dit is die enigste kans wat mense met nierversaking het op \u2019n semi-normale lewe sonder masjiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is my doel om mense hoop te gee wat alle hoop verloor het \u2013 om te veg vir die wat nie meer wil nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" N\u00e1 \u2019n suksesvolle nieroorplanting van \u2019n Brackenfellse ma na haar dogter is al twee op die
