Ua hoʻololi hewa hewa nā kauka i nā anamanaʻo a ke keiki. I kēia manawa, ua komo ka maʻi ʻaʻai i ka pae ʻehā.
Ua ʻike mua ʻia ʻo Little Ellie me ka neuroblastoma i kona manawa he 11 mau makahiki wale nō. ʻO Neuroblastoma kahi ʻano maʻi ʻaʻai e hoʻouka i ka ʻōnaehana autonomic. Kūlike ia no ka wā kamaliʻi.
"Ua kaumaha loa wau. Ma hope o nā mea āpau, ʻuʻuku loa ʻo ʻEllie, a ua pono ʻo ia e hakakā no kona ola, "wahi a Andrea, ka makuahine o ke kaikamahine.
He ʻāʻā nerve ko ʻEli i kona ʻāʻī. Ma hope o nā hoʻāʻo ʻana a pau, ua hōʻoia ka poʻe kauka i ka makuahine o ka pēpē he kiʻekiʻe loa ka manawa o ke ola holoʻokoʻa. Hana ʻoki ʻia, ua hana ʻo Ellie i ka lāʻau e pono ai. A ʻekolu mau mahina ma hope mai, ua hoʻolaha lākou me ke olakino olakino loa o ka pēpē.
I ʻekolu mau mahina ma hope mai, ua lawe ka makuahine i kāna kaikamahine no ka nānā maʻamau - no ka mea ua makaʻu ke kaikamahine, pono ʻo ia e kiaʻi mau ʻia. Ma ka MRI ua hoʻololi ʻia aia kekahi mau kiko ʻē i ka ʻōiwi. Akā ua hōʻoia nā kauka i ka makuahine hopohopo he hemangiomas wale nō lākou - nā hana maikaʻi, nā hōʻiliʻili o nā hunaola koko.
"Ua hōʻoia ʻia wau ma ka hoʻohiki ʻaʻole ia he neuroblastoma," hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Andrea.
ʻĀ, ʻoi aku ka ʻike o nā kauka. ʻOiai ke hana maikaʻi nei ʻo Ellie, ʻaʻohe kumu e hauʻoli ai. Akā ʻaʻole i hemo ʻo "hemangiomas" i nā makahiki i hala. I ka hopena, e hōʻoluʻolu i kona makuahine, ka mea e hele nei i kahi panic liʻiliʻi, ua hana ʻo Ellie i kahi mau hoʻokolohua. Ua hoʻololi ʻia no ʻekolu mau makahiki ua unuhi hewa ʻia nā hopena o ka MRI. Ua loaʻa ʻo Ellie i ka maʻi ʻaʻai i hohola i loko o kona kino a ua komo i ka ʻehā, pae koʻikoʻi. ʻO ke kaikamahine i kēlā manawa ʻehā makahiki.
"Aia nā puʻupuʻu ma ka iwi kuamoo, ma ke poʻo, a ma ka ʻūhā. Inā ka manawa mua a nā kauka i hāʻawi ai i ka 95 pākēneka hōʻoia e ola hou ʻo Ellie, i kēia manawa ua akahele loa nā wānana, "i haʻi aku ai ʻo Andrea i ka Daily Mail.
Koi aku ke kaikamahine i nā kau chemotherapy ʻeono ma ka haukapila ʻo Minnesota. A laila ua lawe ʻia ʻo ia i ke kikowaena maʻi ʻaʻai ma New York. Ma laila ʻo ia i hana ai i ka proton a me ka immunotherapy, lilo i mea komo i loko o kahi papahana hoʻomalu, kahi a lākou e hoʻāʻo nei i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau e kūʻē i ka neuroblastoma, ka mea a ka poʻe ʻepekema e lana ai ka manaʻo e kōkua i ka pale hou ʻana. I kēia manawa ʻaʻohe maʻi maʻi ʻEleona, akā aia nō ʻo ia ma lalo o ka nānā a nā kauka e hōʻoia ai i ka makaʻu ʻole o ke kaikamahine.
"E hoʻolohe i kou puʻuwai, e hilinaʻi i kāu intuition," aʻoaʻo ʻo Andrea i nā mākua āpau. - Inā wau i hoʻolohe i nā kauka i nā mea āpau, mai kānalua i kā lākou ʻōlelo, ʻo wai ka mea ʻike pehea e pau ai. Pono mau ʻoe i ka manaʻo ʻelua inā kānalua ʻoe e pili ana i ka hōʻailona. “
