The girl Amanda Lemus, who suffers from bile duct atresia, will undergo a liver transplant operation this Friday, March 15, at the La Paz public hospital, in Madrid, Spain.
Amanda's father, Emmanuel Lemus, who will be the little girl's donor, is already admitted to the hospital and will undergo surgery tomorrow starting at 8:00 a.m., activist Yamilka Lafita, known on social media as Lara Crofs, said on Facebook.
“I have known Emmanuel for about two months, a responsible father and husband, very self-sacrificing and loving towards his daughter and Mila Ortiz, as a friend he is a great man, always willing to collaborate and fix everything,” Crofs confessed about the donor father, adding that everything is going to turn out very well and that quite a few are awaiting the development of this operation.
Regarding little Amanda, who has been seen looking better since her arrival in Spain, she said that her mother Milagros Ortiz certified that she was prepared for that important moment.
Although he said that the ideal is for Amanda to have more weight for the operation, her surgery is scheduled for this Friday at 9:30 a.m.
According to the website Medline Plus, a liver transplant operation can last up to 12 hours. “The new liver is removed from the donor through a surgical incision made in the upper abdomen. The donated liver is placed on the person who needs it (called the recipient) and connected to blood vessels and bile ducts. The recipient will often need a large amount of blood through a transfusion,” they reflect.
When announcing the date of Amanda's operation a few days ago, Crofs asserted in victorious words that "we achieved it, after more than 45 days of campaigning day and night, of complaints, of updates, of many setbacks, of repression. Seeing how a girl of only two years old languished in the face of the despair of her parents, family, friends. We did it, the enormous gratitude to this Cuban community that has stood firm, welcoming Amanda as its own daughter to get here."
Amanda joined at the beginning of last week in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the La Paz public hospital, in Madrid, after a complicated arrival in the European country.
Through a call made on social networks, many Cubans took it upon themselves to thank the hospital for having accepted the case.
