Mchezaji wa mpira wa kikapu mwenye umri mdogo, ambaye alipatwa na kiharusi cha nadra cha uti wa mgongo alipokuwa akijinyoosha kabla ya mchezo, amepata nafuu ya ajabu kutokana na hali hiyo, licha ya awali madaktari kusema kuwa huenda asitembee tena.<\/p>\n

Wiki nne zilizopita, Harriet Caldwell alikuwa akifanya mazoezi yake ya kunyoosha akilenga sehemu ya chini ya mgongo aliposikia mlio, ambao ulimfanya kufa ganzi kuanzia kiunoni kwenda chini.<\/p>\n

"Alikuwa akijinyoosha tu na kadhalika, akinyoosha mgongo wake wa chini na akahisi pop," babake, Tim Cadwell, alisimulia. ABC.net.au.<\/a> "Alikuwa akipiga kelele, kwa mshtuko tu, na hakuweza kuinuka kutoka chini."<\/p>\n

Kisha kijana huyo alikimbizwa katika Hospitali ya Bendigo huko Victoria, na kisha katika Hospitali ya Watoto ya Kifalme, ambako alitumia wiki moja iliyojaa taratibu za matibabu zenye changamoto na vamizi.<\/p>\n

"Nilikuwa na wazo kichwani kwamba tungerudi nyumbani asubuhi iliyofuata ... nikitumaini kwamba kila kitu kitakuwa sawa," Tim alisema. "Kulikuwa na MRIs, kuchomwa kwa lumbar ... ilikuwa wiki kamili na isiyofaa sana kwa mtoto wa miaka 13."<\/p>\n

Kiharusi cha uti wa mgongo ni nini, na ni nani aliye hatarini?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kiharusi cha uti wa mgongo, pia kinajulikana kama ischemia ya uti wa mgongo, ni hali ya nadra sana, katika tukio ambalo usambazaji wa damu kwa uti wa mgongo<\/a> inavurugika, ambayo inaifanya kuwa haifanyi kazi.<\/p>\n

Sababu za hatari kwa hali hii ni pamoja na umri, unene, shinikizo la damu, cholesterol kubwa, sigara, unywaji pombe kupita kiasi, ukosefu wa mazoezi, ugonjwa wa moyo, na historia ya familia ya ugonjwa wa moyo.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kiharusi cha uti wa mgongo ni nadra sana kwa watoto, huku kesi zikihusishwa kimsingi na hali ya kuzaliwa inayoathiri mishipa ya damu au shida ya kuganda, pamoja na majeraha ya uti wa mgongo, kulingana na Laini ya afya. <\/a><\/p>\n

Babake Harriet alisema kesi yake pia ilikuwa moja ya kesi adimu, jambo ambalo liliwashangaza hata madaktari.<\/p>\n

"Madaktari na wataalamu waliobobea walisema walijua kuhusu kesi tatu tu katika kipindi cha miaka 20 iliyopita," Caldwell alisema.<\/p>\n

Alisema madaktari walikuwa wakijaribu kuchukua vidokezo kutoka kwa kesi nje ya nchi.<\/p>\n

"Wanajaribu kukusanya habari kutoka Amerika na Ulaya, kujaribu kuona kile ambacho watu wamepitia. Tumepunguzwa sana na kesi kama hizo hapa Australia, "alisema.<\/p>\n

Sehemu ya kuhuzunisha zaidi, Caldwell alisema, ilikuwa wakati madaktari walisema anaweza kupoteza uhamaji wake kwa hali hiyo.<\/p>\n

"Ilikuwa siku mbaya sana maishani mwetu. Ilikuwa ni kama kuwa katika ndoto \u2026 hakika hili halifanyiki,\u201d alisema. \u201cIli binti yako akutegemee na kusema, Baba, fanya jambo \u2026 huku analia na kujaribu kukubaliana nalo. Inatia kiwewe sana.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lakini, katika hali ya furaha zaidi, uthabiti wa Harriet na juhudi za kujitolea za timu yake ya matibabu zilisababisha ahueni ya ajabu.<\/p>\n

Baada ya wiki chache za ukarabati na matibabu ya mwili, Harriet ana harakati fulani kwenye miguu.<\/p>\n

Sasa, anaweza kufanya harakati fulani, ingawa ni mdogo.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmeweza kusogeza kidole chake cha mguu na kumekuwa na mara chache ambapo alisogeza kifundo cha mguu wake. Kuona hilo, lilikuwa la hisia sana ... ilikuwa kama kushinda TattsLotto, tulifurahi sana," Caldwell aliiambia ABC Australia. "Tunatumai katika siku zijazo sio mbali sana ataweza kubeba uzito kwenye mguu wake wa kulia."<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe<\/a> page ilianzishwa ili kuchangisha pesa kwa ajili ya Harriet kusaidia familia yake kukabiliana na gharama za ziada zinazohusiana na matibabu yake. Ukurasa ulikuwa umeongeza AUD48,906 ($31,825) hadi sasa.<\/p>\n

"She was screaming, just in shock, and she couldn't get up off the ground."The teen was then rushed to Bendigo Hospital in Victoria, and then to the Royal Children's Hospital, where she spent a week filled with challenging and invasive medical procedures."I had it in my head that we'd be back home the next morning ... hoping that everything would be OK," Tim said. "There were MRIs, lumbar punctures ... it was a full-on week and pretty uncomfortable for a 13-year-old kid."What is a spinal cord stroke, and who is at risk?Spinal cord stroke, also known as spinal cord ischemia, is a relatively rare condition, at the event of which the blood supply to the spinal cord is disrupted, which renders it dysfunctional.The risk factors for this condition include age, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, heart disease, and a family history of heart disease.Spinal cord stroke is extremely rare in children, with cases primarily attributed to congenital conditions affecting blood vessels or clotting disorders, as well as spinal cord injuries, according to Healthline. Harriet's father said her case was also one of the rarest ones, which took even the doctors by surprise."Seasoned doctors and specialists said they knew of only about three cases over the past 20 years," Caldwell said.He said doctors were trying to take some cues from cases abroad."They're trying to gather information from America and Europe, trying to see what people have been through. We are so limited with similar cases here in Australia," he said.The most heartbreaking part, Caldwell said, was when doctors said she may lose her mobility to the condition."It was pretty much the worst day of our lives. It was like being in a dream ... surely this isn't happening," he said. "To have your daughter look up to you and say, Dad, do something ... while she's crying and trying to come to terms with it. It's extremely traumatic."But, in a happier turn of events, Harriet's resilience and the dedicated efforts of her medical team led to a remarkable recovery.After a few weeks of rehabilitation and physical therapy, Harriet has some movement in the legs.Now, she can make some movements, although limited."She's been able to move her toe and there have been a few times where she's moved her ankle. To see that, it was so emotional ... it was like winning TattsLotto, we were so excited," Caldwell told ABC Australia. "We're hoping in the not-too-distant future she'll be able to bear weight on her right leg."A GoFundMe page was set up to raise funds for Harriet to help her family cope with the additional expenses related to her treatment. The page had raised AUD48,906 ($31,825) till now. Patients with chronic back pain received an injection of fungus into their spinal cord, causing fungal meningitis.
