There ARE teachers far better than me, or who have had more training, who engage their students better than I do. I will keep reading, and keep learning how to be a better teacher. I need to remind myself to simply do the best I can, with all that I know right now. Teachers are under a lot a pressure already, and to add to it, we often make it worse by being judgmental of others. So I am reminding myself to be brave, and live from peace:ġ. I do know the truth– I know that life is short, and the million things that worry me will all pass away. I don’t want it to poison my life, or rob me of bravery because I am filling my own mind with all the possible thoughts of other minds the world over. Comparison is such a thief of joy, and disrupt-er of peace. And it spills over into Spanish: how well my lessons go, how my classroom compares to others, how much Spanish our children speak, and how well I speak. I do it with everything: how much I get done, how clean my house is, how our children behave.
It’s a battle to remind myself not to do this.
However, since the development of modern asystole donations, the technique’s popularity has grown to make up about one-third of all donations in Spain, La Paz said.I have a terrible habit I’ve had to work against my whole life: I compare. Most transplanted organs stem from donors who have suffered brain death but retain a heartbeat, as this keeps the organs intact. What makes Emma’s case special is the difficulty in preserving an intestine from asystole donation due to the digestive organ’s characteristics. The donor’s organs are then artificially preserved – despite the lack of oxygenated blood – through a system known as Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).
She said Emma is now 17 months old.Īsystole donations proceed from a dead person after doctors confirm the absence of a heartbeat and breathing functions. “The good news is that life goes on, that Emma is very brave and proving every day that she wants to keep on living,” her mother told reporters before thanking the donor’s family and the doctors.
The infant, Emma, had been diagnosed with intestinal failure when she was just one month old because her intestine was too short, and her health rapidly deteriorated until receiving the multivisceral transplant.Īside from the intestine, Emma also received a new liver, stomach, spleen and pancreas. Spain is a global leader in organ transplants, with over 102 of them per million inhabitants performed in 2021, a rate only surpassed by the United States, according to Spanish health ministry data. “The child has now been discharged and is in perfect condition at home with her parents,” it said in a statement. MADRID (Reuters) – A 1-year-old Spanish girl has become the world’s first recipient of a successful intestine transplant from a donor who died of heart failure, Madrid’s La Paz hospital said on Tuesday.
