Source text - English Mary, kidney recipient
Mary is always smiling, and her inherent charisma, enthusiasm and optimistic outlook are positively contagious. You would never know by looking at vibrant, energetic Mary that she was once in poor health, but talking to her tells a very different story. Because Mary wants the world to know about the importance of registering as an organ, eye and tissue donor, she freely shares the details of her kidney transplant journey, which began 30 years ago.
The American-born daughter of Chinese immigrants, Mary was diagnosed with renal agenesis, a rare and life-threatening genetic disorder characterized by a failure of the kidneys to develop, when she was just three years old. A kidney transplant was the only option to save Mary’s life. Neither of her parents was a match for living donation, so Mary was placed on the national transplant waiting list.
While she waited, Mary began home dialysis treatments and continued that exhausting routine until she received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor when she was five years old. Her donated kidney enabled Mary to have what she describes as an “extraordinary childhood” for six good years—until her new kidney began to fail.
Translation - Tagalog Mary, tumanggap ng kidney [bato]
Palaging naka-ngiti si Mary, at talagang nakakahawa ang kanyang likas na pag-akit, kasiglahan at pananaw na palaalsa. Hindi nyo mahahalata sa hichura ni Mary, na punong-puno ng buhay at masigasig, na dating masama ang kanyang kalusugan, at nagpapahayag ng ibang salaysay ang pakikipag-usap sa kanya. Dahil gusto ni Mary na malaman ng buong daigdig ang kahalagahan ng pag-register bilang donor [naghahandog] ng organ [bahagi ng katawan], mata at tissue [himaymay], walang pigil na ipinamamahagi nya at mga detalye ng kanyang pinagdaanan nauukol sa kidney transplant [pagsalin ng bato], na nagsimula noong 30ng taong nakalipas.
Si Mary, na isinilang sa America ng immigrant na Intsik, ay nasuri na may renal agenesis, isang pambihira at makakamatay na kagulahan ng genes na nakikilala sa kabiguan ng kidney na umunlad, noong tatlong taong edad lang sya. Ang isang kidney transplant lamang ang magagawa upang iligtas ang buhay ni Mary. Hindi katugma ang alinman sa mga magulang nya para sa pagsalin habang buhay, kaya ilinagay si Mary sa isang national transplant waiting list [tala ng mga naghihintay pang-transplant sa buong bansa].
Habang naghihintay sya, nagsimula si Mary ng paggamot na dialysis [paglinis sa makina ng baga-lusaw ng katawan] sa bahay at pinagpatuloy ang nakakapagod na paraang ito hanggang nakatanggap sya ng kidney transplant mula sa isang yumaong donor, noong limang taong edad sya. Pinayagan si Mary ng nahandog na kidney na ilinalarawan nya bilang "pambihirang-pambihirang kabataan" nang anim ng mahusay na taon—hanggang nagsimulang humina ang kanyang bagong kidney.
