Ngo-2003, uSheana Nelson wanquma ukushumayela eBandleni likaJesu Kristu labaNgcwele beziNsuku zokuGcina. Indawo ayeya kuyo kwakuseMongolia, ngakho ngaphambi kokuya e-Asia Ephakathi, isakhamuzi saseWashington State saya eSikhungweni Sokuqeqesha Izithunywa Zevangeli eProvo, e-Utah ukuze sifunde isiMongolia.
Wabona uJohn Ryan, udokotela wenhliziyo ovela eMnyangweni Wezempilo eNyuvesi yase-Utah, kanye nomhlengikazi ovela eqenjini likaRyan le-MD walalela inhliziyo yakhe. USheina wathola ukuthi unenhliziyo ebubula. Lesi isibonelo esihle. URyan wamazisa.
Uyakhumbula: pIndlela engcono kakhulu yokuyichaza ifana nengane ehlolwa nge-ultrasound.q p Inhliziyo yami ingenza umsindo ohoshozayo ngaphezu komsindo ozwakalayo ogelezayo ozwakalayo.q
Ukububula kwenhliziyo kuyinkinga ekhohlisayo ku-cardiology. Ngezinye izikhathi abanalutho lokukhathazeka ngalo. URyan wachaza: “Uma wenza i-ultrasound futhi uthola ukuthi i-valve yenhliziyo ayinankinga noma ivalekile, ‘kuwukububula okungenacala’.” "Ayidali monakalo, kodwa kufanelekile ukwazi."
Ngezinye izikhathi, ukukhononda kungase kubonise izinkinga ezinkulu zenhliziyo, ezisongela ukuphila njengoSheana. Kodwa kanjani ukuhlukanisa?
Impendulo ivame ukuncika ekutheni ingabe kuwukububula okusha (lokho uRyan akubiza ngokuthi “isiyaluyalu enhliziyweni”). Ngezinye izikhathi lokhu kubangelwa ukubuya kwegazi elingalingani, okubizwa ngokuthi i-reflux. Ngezinye izikhathi kungenxa yokuncipha kwe-valve. Kwezinye izimo, iziguli zizalwa zinenhliziyo ekhononda noma ziba nokukhononda kwenhliziyo zisencane. Kodwa abanye baye bahlolwa kaningi ngokomzimba futhi bavakashelwa ukunakekelwa okuyisisekelo kuze kube yilapho umhlinzeki ngokuzumayo ethola ukuthi bezwa ukububula kwenhliziyo ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa okujwayelekile.
Uma kunenkinga ye-valve yenhliziyo, ukulimala okungenzeka kuyinkinga. Izimpawu zingase zihlanganisa ukuphelelwa umoya noma ukuqala kokunqwabelana koketshezi. Ukuvuza noma ukuncipha kwevalvu (isibonelo, isifo se-valve) noma inhliziyo ishaya ngokushesha kangangokuthi kuvimbe ukugeleza kwegazi kudinga ukuhlinzwa. URyan wathi: “Uma isifo senhliziyo esibangela ukuhluleka kwenhliziyo, ukwelashwa kuwukushintsha noma ukulungisa ivalvu.” Lokho kungasho ukuhlinzwa okuvulekile kwesifuba.
Izindaba ezinhle ngakho konke lokhu ukuthi nakuba izindlela zokuxilonga zingase zihluke, ukunquma ubumsulwa bokukhononda akuyona into ehlaselayo noma ehlukumezayo. I-Echocardiography "ilula kakhulu," kusho uRyan. “Ayikho imisebe, akukho ngcindezi, futhi akukho ukuhlukumezeka. Ayidali monakalo.”
Endabeni kaSheana, kwakudingeka ashintshe i-valve yengulube ewohlokayo. Inkinga ukuthi lena kuzoba ivalve engumshini ezomenza aphile isikhathi eside; noma elinye i-valve alithandayo.
Kwase kuyisikhathi sokuhlinzwa, futhi ngo-August 2016, washintsha umqondo. Wakhumbula ukuthi wathandaza kakhulu futhi wabona ukuthi wayengafuni ukuthi ingane yakhe ikhathazeke ngaye uma kudingeka ishintshe ivalve yengulube yesibili. Nakuba kade ethanda ukusebenzisa ama-valve ezingulube, ngaphambi nje kokuba amhlinze, watshela uCraig Selzman, uSolwazi Wokuhlinza kanye neNhloko yoMnyango Wokuhlinzwa Kwenhliziyo e-UU Health, MD, ukuthi ufuna i-valve engumshini.
Uthe kube yisinqumo esilula, futhi uSelzman wamchazela ngezinzuzo zokusebenzisa amavalvu ayimishini.
Eminyakeni emine ngemva kokuhlinzwa, uSheana wenza kahle. Ebusuku, lapho yena nomyeni wakhe beyolala, endaweni ethule, babezwa inhliziyo yakhe ishaya, ngenxa ye-valve engumshini. Unomshini wezwi okwazi ukuwumisa, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi abasithandi isimangaliso sokwelapha esifubeni sakhe. Lwathi: “Mkhumbuze ukuthi ngiyaphila, futhi ngizizwa ngendlela efanayo,” kusho uHina. “Uma ngizwa, ngizobonga kakhulu. Ngisaphila ngenxa yalelo zwi. Ithalente ngempela lelo.”
