Unyaka oMtsha, iGazi elitsha

By UCassidy S, MPH

Ngeli xesha lonyaka, uninzi lwethu luzamkele ngokupheleleyo okanye luzilahlile ngokupheleleyo iinjongo ezintsha. Siziphulula emqolo okanye siqhubele phambili, kubonakala ngathi iiprojekthi ziyacinezela. Ukubuyisela abantwana ekujikeni kwesikolo, ukuhambisa uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali kumphathi wakho, okanye ukukhumbula ukuthatha imoto ukutshintsha ioyile kuphakathi kwentaba yezinto ezikuluhlu lwezinto eziza kwenziwa. Ngokuqinisekileyo ayizukuwela engqondweni ukuba ucwangcise ixesha lokunikela ngegazi. Ngapha koko, phantse iipesenti ezingama-40 zabemi baseMelika banelungelo lokunikela ngegazi, kodwa bangaphantsi kwesithathu ekhulwini abenza njalo.

NgoJanuwari, usapho lwam luqala ukonwaba ngomhla wam wokuzalwa wentombi yam. Uza kugqiba iminyaka elithoba ngoFebruwari. Ngexesha lesidlo sangokuhlwa siphawule ukuba ukhule kangakanani kwaye sixoxa ngento angasithanda ngesipho. Ndibonisa indlela endinethamsanqa ngayo ngokufumana olu nxibelelwano luqhelekileyo nosapho lwam. Ukuzalwa kwentombi yam kwakubaluleke ngokukodwa kum. Khange kulindelwe ukuba ndisinde kumava akhathazayo, kodwa ndenze oko, ubukhulu becala, ngenxa yobubele babasemzini.

Phantse kwiminyaka esithoba eyadlulayo ndaya esibhedlele ukuya kufumana umntwana. Ndakhulelwa ngokungagungqiyo-isicaphucaphu kunye nokuqaqamba kwentliziyo kunye nomqolo obuhlungu. Ndiphilile kwaye ndinesisu esikhulu. Bendisazi ukuba uzakuba lukhulu, usana olusempilweni. Njengoninzi loomama-bendiza kuba nexhala malunga nokuzala kodwa ndonwabile ukudibana nosana lwam oluyintombazana. Andikhumbuli kakhulu emva kokungena esibhedlele. Ndiyakhumbula umyeni wam ephethe iibhegi zam kunye neempahla zomntwana nayo yonke into endicinga ukuba ndingayidinga -iziliphu, iipjs, umculo, i-lip balm, iincwadi? Emva koko, ndinokukhumbula kuphela izinto endizithethileyo ngentsasa elandelayo, ezinje ngokuba “Ndiziva ndiphantsi koxinzelelo. Ndiziva ngathi ndiza kugula. ”

Emva kweentsuku zoqhaqho olukhulu, utofelo-gazi, kunye namaxesha amabi, ndavuka ndakuva ukuba ndine-amniotic fluid embolism, into enqabileyo nesongela ubomi ebangele ukubanjwa kwentliziyo kunye nokopha okungalawulekiyo. Intombi yam yayinokuzalwa okubuhlungu okufuna ixesha kwi-NICU kodwa yayiqhuba kakuhle ngelixesha ndeza ngalo. Ndiphinde ndafunda ukuba iinzame ezingapheliyo zabasebenzi bezonyango, ukufumaneka kweeyunithi ezingama-300 zegazi nezeemveliso zegazi, nothando olungagungqiyo, inkxaso, kunye nemithandazo yosapho, izihlobo, nabantu ongabaziyo konke oku kube negalelo kum.

Ndasinda. Ngendingasindanga ngaphandle kwegazi nemveliso yegazi esesibhedlele naseBonfils Blood Centre (ngoku eyi-DBA Kubalulekile). Umzimba womntu oqhelekileyo uqulethe ngaphezulu kweelitha ezintlanu zegazi. Ndifuna iilitha zegazi ezilinganayo ezingama-30 kwiintsuku ezininzi.

Ngo-2016 ndaba nelungelo lokudibana nabantu abangama-30 kwabangaphezulu kwama-300 abanikela ngegazi labo kusindisa ubomi bam. Yayilithuba elikhethekileyo ngenene lokudibana nabo banikelayo kwaye bengazange balindelwe ukudibana nomntu ofumene igazi labo. Ngeentsuku zam zokugqibela esibhedlele, kwaqala ukutshona kum ukuba ndafumana igazi elininzi- kakhulu, lisuka kubantu abangamakhulu. Ekuqaleni, ndaziva ndingaqhelekanga- ndiza kuba ngumntu owahlukileyo, iinwele zam zaziva zincinci. Ndacinga ukuba mandizame ngokwenene ukuba yinguqulelo elungileyo yam. Ummangaliso wenzeka. Sisiphi isipho esikhethekileyo ukusifumana kubantu abaninzi ongabaziyo. Kungekudala ndafumanisa esona sipho kukuba ndiza kuba ndim nje, ndingafezekisi-ndisebenza naye, umhlobo, intombi, umzukulwana, udade, umtshana, umzala, umakazi, unkosikazi nomama intombazana entle, entle.

Ngokunyaniseka, ngaphambi kokuba ndifune utofelo-gazi olusindisa ubomi andikhange ndicinge kakhulu malunga nomnikelo wegazi. Ndikhumbula kuqala ndinikela ngegazi kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo kwaye yiyo loo nto. Umnikelo wegazi usindisa ubomi. Ukuba unokunikela ngegazi, ndiyakukhuthaza ukuba uqale lo nyaka mtsha ngeyona njongo ifikelelekayo ngokulula yokunikela ngegazi okanye iimveliso zegazi. Uninzi lweedrive drive ziye zarhoxiswa ngenxa ye-COVID-19, ke ngenxa yegalelo lomntu ngegazi ngoku libaluleke kakhulu kunakuqala. Nokuba ukulungele na ukunikela ngegazi elipheleleyo okanye ufunyenwe kwi-COVID-19 kwaye unakho Unyango lweplasma, usindisa ubomi.
