Every time he eats, he vomits, the 16-year-old boy weighs only 27kg because of a strange illness, his grandmother burst into tears because she couldn’t afford to take him to surgery.
The doctor said he needed urgent surgery, but she didn’t have any money…
In the early days of April 2022, we went to Hoa Thuan commune, Chau Thanh district, Tra Vinh province to visit the family situation of Ngo Chi Hao (SN 2006).
Sitting in a dilapidated level 4 house, Hao held his stomach, showing pain. A few steps away, Mrs. Pham Thi Can (63 years old) looked at her grandson and burst into tears.
16 years old, but Hao is only about 1m tall, weighing only 27kg
“He vomited when he ate and vomited, his stomach couldn’t hold anything. She also took him to two hospitals in the countryside, but because he didn’t buy insurance, he ran out of money, so he went home. Now at Tra Vinh hospital, Dr. The doctor said to move it to the city for surgery, but still, you don’t have any money…”, Mrs. Can swallowed her tears.
Hao is the poor grandson of Mrs. Can. After his parents divorced to find new happiness, Hao followed his father and stepmother to Binh Duong to live. After finishing grade 4, for some reason, Hao quit school and stayed at home to help his father collect bottles and make electrical appliances. About 2 years ago, Hao moved to live with Mrs. Can in a small house in Ky La hamlet.
Since his parents left each other to start a new family, Hao’s childhood also experienced the most difficult days…
In order to have money to cover his life, Hao had to sell lottery tickets every day to help his grandfather. A few months ago, while selling lottery tickets, Hao was often dizzy and fainted, Mrs. Can took her grandson to the hospital, when the doctor discovered that Hao had pyloric stenosis, an ulcer in the intestinal tract.
“When she was transferred to Tra Vinh Province General Hospital, she thought it was dead, it couldn’t breathe…. After lying there for a while, the doctor gave her medicine to drink, so it helped. Everyone loved it so they collected it. When she contributed money, she also bought an insurance for him. The doctor said that he needed to take the boy to the city for surgery, but she never went to the city, the money was no longer…” Mrs. Can choked.
The child burst into tears when he mentioned his situation
Looking at his grandmother with innocent eyes, Hao confided: “Grandma don’t be sad, I’m not afraid of death”. Although he is 16 years old, Hao’s body is no different from that of a 10 year old child, he is only about 1m4 tall with a weight of 27kg.
The constant abdominal pain made my already weak body even more exhausted. Before he was sick, Hao rode his bicycle around the commune every day to sell more than 100 lottery tickets, but now the poor child can only lie at home, taking painkillers to endure.
The disease of pyloric stenosis made Hao unable to eat and drink, vomiting, and discomfort in his body
“I finished eating and it didn’t have any bowel movements. I couldn’t go to the toilet for 4-5 days. One day, I vomited 5-6 times, the doctor told me to move to the city, but my grandmother didn’t have money. I’m not afraid of dying. , I’m just afraid of pain, every time I vomit, I’m very tired”, Hao confided.
She risked coming up here to find a chance to live for him…
At 3pm on April 4, under the pouring rain, Mrs. Can carried a bag of clothes and personal belongings with her grandson to the gate of Cho Ray Hospital. After many days of hesitation, this is the first trip to the city for the two of them to find a chance to cure Hao.
After 4 hours on the bus, the couple also went to Cho Ray Hospital to complete the admission procedures
When she got to the hospital, Mrs. Can only had 4 million dong left in her pocket from the help of neighbors. Sitting in front of the emergency room door, she wiped her tears: “The boy ran out of medicine today, he was in unbearable pain, this morning she applied for a transfer paper from Tra Vinh to go to Cho Ray, now he’s gone to the emergency room, I’m so worried. I don’t have money to pay, what can the boy do?”.
According to Ms. Can, after making an advance of 2 million VND for hospital fees and carrying out Covid-19 testing procedures, Hao was sent for a CT scan and transferred to the Department of Gastroenterology, Cho Ray Hospital for further treatment. Seeing her tired grandson holding his stomach in pain after a day on a bus to go to the city to find life, Mrs. Can burst into tears: “If only the boy had money for early treatment, it would be better, now she just wants him to have a chance to live, but it’s too bad for him.”
Hao was taken to the emergency room for doctors to diagnose and treat
Looking at his grandmother with sparkling eyes, Hao grabbed her rough hand and comforted her: “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. If I don’t have money, I’ll just go home, I’m not afraid of dying, Grandma.”
Perhaps, in Hao’s mind, being cured was something too far away for him. I am old enough to understand all the difficulties and hardships of my grandfather when I have to run around alone and collect money for my sister’s treatment.
My childhood from a young age was not complete like many young people my age. Although my parents are still there, I haven’t had a proper home for a day, even my dream of learning to read has been unfinished…
What future for Hao when he is being corroded by a terrible disease?
At 16, Hao is getting older, but the wound in his heart is still there. “I’m just sad, but I don’t dare to be angry with my parents, I prefer to stay with my grandma because she takes care of me” – Hao’s words made us feel heartbroken.
Lying on the hospital bed at the Department of Gastroenterology, Hao is still struggling to find a chance to live with his grandmother with his grandmother. However, the worry about hospital fees, medicine, who will share with the two grandchildren during the hospital days…
Hopefully, Hao’s dream of living and working to earn money to support his grandfather will not be stopped by the evil disease…
