A big hug is the only way to express feelings at the moment, as Kailee Wells is embraced by her donor Dr Wang Lin. Kailee Wells said, ”Xie Xie Ni, Dr Wang Lin, for giving a part of your 1ife to me.”
Dr Wang cannot control his emotions after seeing 10-year-old Kailee's miraculous recovery. Dr Wang Lin. Said, “To see this beautiful and spirited little girl standing before me today, I feel so relieved, so happy.”
Born in the central province of Hunan, Kailee was found abandoned in Changde. She spent a year in an orphanage before being adopted by the Wells family in New Mexico.
At 5, her bone marrow stopped producing red and white blood cells. But her family never gave up hope of finding a perfect match, and after two unsuccessful plants, Kailee finally had a third,which was successful.
Kailee’s mother Linda Wells said, “well last Christmas,we were a11 very worried about Kailee,and we were not sure at that time whether she would be here this year with us now-and here we ware in China, in Beijing with this wonderful celebration and meeting Dr Wang Lin. It’s a true blessing.
