阿迪蒂和家人的惊喜造访-重回GOSH庆祝圣诞
我们最近报道的患儿阿迪蒂登上了英国新闻的头条，她是英国及NHS（英国国家医疗服务）范围内肾移植后仅一个月就成功停止使用免疫抑制剂的患儿，并被媒体争相报道。本月正值圣诞季，她与家人带着感激回到医院，为支持他们的团队表示感谢。
阿迪蒂和她的父母一起，带着自制的喀拉拉邦梅子蛋糕来为GOSH的医护人员带来了一次惊喜造访。
Aditi’s story
Eight-year-old Aditi was diagnosed with an immune condition, Schimke’s immuno-osseous dysplasia, for which she received a bone marrow transplant, followed six months later by a kidney transplant, to treat severe irreversible kidney failure. Both bone marrow and kidney transplants were donated by Aditi’s mother, Divya. The new kidney now works without needing drugs to stop Aditi’s body rejecting the organ as the bone marrow transplant reprogrammed her immune system to be the same as her donor kidney. Nine months after her kidney transplant, Aditi is now thriving and enjoying finishing her first year back at school full-time.
Multiple teams at Great Ormond Street and UCL GOS ICH worked together for many, many months to make Aditi's surgery possible, including the Bone Marrow Transplant, Paediatric Intensive Care, Immunology, Nephrology, Surgical, Anaesthesia and Renal Transplantation teams.
A special Christmas tradition
Aditi’s dad Uday shared that: “This is our first Christmas where Aditi is not an in-patient at the hospital, so it will be a very special celebration for us this year. We wanted to make sure that all the teams who worked with us over the past few years knew how much we appreciated their support and kindness, especially at this time of the year.”
Aditi and her family returned to Eagle (Renal), Robin (BMT and Immunology) and Seahorse (Paediatric Intensive Care Unit) to present the clinical teams with their Christmas treats.
Uday said that: “Plum cakes of Kerala are a festive favourite in India; a recipe that has been passed down from many generations. We made these plum cakes for the clinical teams last year also, and we hope to continue this tradition for many years to come”.

“Incredible to see Aditi doing so well”
Charlotte Holt, Senior Play Specialist on Eagle Ward, where Aditi spent two-years on dialysis, said: “It is incredible to see Aditi doing so well after all she has been through. Aditi has always been so positive; full of smiles and giggles and we all miss her so much on the ward - so her surprise visit with her parents brought so much cheer to us on a Tuesday evening.”
