Emma is dead but her heart is still beating

“In this difficult moment of absolute irrationality, logic must prevail for a moment. When a doctor tells you that your child is going to die and life depends on your signature, it goes without saying what you should do,” he said. George Massias in Katimerini and Lina Jannarou, in his report about parents who decided to take a not always easy step and donate the organs of their lost children.

Together with his wife Eleni Kayawa, back in 2008, they donated the instruments to their son Dimitris, who, at the age of 5, lost consciousness for some unknown reason while playing in his father’s village in Ancient Olympia. A 7-year-old girl from Hanover received Dimitris’ liver, a 16-year-old girl from Rhodes received one kidney, and a 33-year-old man from Athens received another kidney. In fact, at some point, Giorgos Massias received a friend request from a person on Facebook whom he had not met. Once on Easter, a man uploaded a candle to his profile with gratitude to the child who gave him life. Yes, the child was Dimitris, and the man was 33 years old, now living with his kidney.

Early last Tuesday girl, 21 years old, crossed Egnatia street on foot Thessaloniki, when alone 26 year old driver he hit her with his car, seriously injuring her. The driver, along with his 19-year-old passenger, left the girl at the Kamara height.

young woman student of veterinary medicine at AUTH, who was on his way to a friend’s house was finally served in Papageorgiou Hospital. After a series of surgeries, 21-year-old Emma was admitted to the intensive care unit of the hospital. Five days later, at 8 am on Sunday, Emma was already dead.

The Chania girl’s mother later wrote in a Facebook post: “Are we the dream of a shadow or the shadow of a dream? In the black mists, the beauty of infinity… Have a good trip, my soul, to the edge of the universe… I do not say goodbye, my love, but see you again! I love you to heaven and back, and I will love you as long as I live and breathe.”

At that moment, when mourning began in the family of the unfortunate girl, her relatives “bewitched” her in the most significant way: donate your child’s organs. Something, of course, which, as can be seen from the words of the mother of the girl, had already been decided by her: “Emmanuela was a miracle child from the moment of her birth, and, leaving, she wanted to perform another miracle in order to give her life … who was deprived of it.”

Emma’s organs have already begun their journey into other bodies.

The moment Emma died, some others began to live. Already the heart of the deceased is beating in the body in a 40 year old woman. We are talking about a mother of one child, who until now lived with mechanical support of the heart and was in the last stage of heart failure.

While the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit, the hospital doctors prepared for kidney transplant in a 50-year-old woman who has been on hemodialysis for the past 9 years. Both the liver and kidneys belonged to a 21-year-old woman who died from the asphalt.

And the rest of Emma’s organs are now starting their new journey. Such as cornea of which were seized by the doctors of the Papageorgiou hospital for AHEPA eye bank. Over the next 15 days, they can become a “light” in the eyes of others.

As in any other case, here, too, the only answer to death could be only life.
