Patrick Brown se lewe is langer as \u2019n jaar gelede vir altyd verander toe hy drie jaar gegee is om te leef, maar nou help sy suster om sy lewe ten goede te verander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Niersiekte is meer as \u2019n jaar gelede by Patrick (39), van Vredenburg, gediagnoseer en in \u2019n stadium het sy nier slegs 17% gefunksioneer. Volgens dokters was daar net twee opsies \u2013 \u00f3f dialise \u00f3f \u2019n nieroorplanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Oorplantingsvereniging het verlede maand verduidelik sowat 2 000 Suid-Afrikaners wag vir \u2019n nuwe nier. Patrick was een van di\u00e9 talle pasi\u00ebnte, maar danksy sy suster Claudine Thiart ontvang hy Dinsdag \u2019n nuwe nier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWanneer die Here jou iets op die hart l\u00ea, kan jy nie anders as om te antwoord nie,\u201d s\u00ea Claudine (36).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy vertel haar ouer broer se toestand het verlede September aan die lig gekom en sy en haar gesin het onmiddellik besluit om te help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toetse het in Maart begin en n\u00e1 vele doktersafsprake het die dokters bevind Claudine is \u2019n geskikte kandidaat vir die oorplanting. \u201cDit is \u2019n ongelooflike lang proses en toetse word herhaal en dan weer gedoen om seker te maak alles is soos dit moet wees. Die afgelope maande was ons baie emosioneel en angstig, maar namate ek meer en meer by die dokters geleer het, het ek rustiger geraak en vertrou alles sal verloop soos dit moet.\u201d Claudine s\u00ea hoewel sy en Patrick mekaar nie so gereeld sien nie omdat sy Vredenburg vir Worcester verruil het, bly hul band as sibbe en die liefde vir mekaar onveranderd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir hul ma, Georgina Brown, is dit \u2019n baie emosionele tyd. Sy bedank haar dogter vir haar onselfsugtige gebaar. \u201cOns as ouers is baie dankbaar vir wat sy doen. Sy het glad nie gehuiwer nie. Ons wens hulle al twee alle sterkte toe en ons weet Jesus sal hulle bystaan,\u201d het Georgina vandeesweek aan Weslander<\/i> ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die sibbe sal hul onderskeie operasies Dinsdag in die Christiaan Barnard-hospitaal ondergaan. Eers sal een van Claudine se niere verwyder word en vir twee ure op ys geplaas word. Dan sal Patrick na die teater gaan vir die vier uur lange operasie om die nuwe nier oor te plant. Volgens Claudine dui alles daarop dat haar broer se liggaam die nier sal aanvaar aangesien dokters bepaal het die kanse vir verwerping is 0,1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel Patrick vir sewe dae in die ho\u00ebsorgeenheid sal moet bly, vertel Claudine sy sal teen Donderdag kan huis toe gaan. \u201cEk sal dinge vir \u2019n maand moet rustig vat en sal nie dan kan bestuur nie, maar ek sal kan voortgaan met my lewe. Die hele proses het my laat besef hoe belangrik dit is om na my gesondheid om te sien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het drie kinders \u2013 19, 16 en 8 jaar oud \u2013 en as ouer dink jy ook aan die belangrikheid om vir hulle daar te wees,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patrick s\u00ea om \u2019n orgaan te skenk is \u2019n wonderlike lewenslange geskenk wat letterlik iemand se lewe red. \u201cEk sal altyd dankbaar wees vir di\u00e9 geskenk.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
