🇬🇧 Last year, twelve year old Alex spent Christmas in Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, recovering from a kidney transplant. But this year, he’s looking forward to a full on family Christmas at home, in Bridgend, South Wales, with his mum, dad and brother Gabriel, who is himself a kidney recipient.
This will be the first time in years where both brothers are well and the family can enjoy their Christmas.
Dad Kamil says, “Last Christmas, well, we didn’t really have one. Alex was in hospital all over Christmas and New Year and we looked after his recovery.
“The plan for Christmas is just to be together, as a family. We will have a few days away near Yr Wydffa for New Year’s Eve and just enjoy being together.
“Everyone should at least think about (organ donation) what they can do to other people if they donate. Giving someone new life, it’s the best thing you can do as a human.”
More than 8,000 people in the UK, which includes 380 people in Wales, face this Christmas waiting for an organ transplant.
🏴Y llynedd, treuliodd Alex (12 oed) y Nadolig yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Plant Bryste yn gwella ar ôl trawsblaniad aren. Ond eleni, mae’n edrych ymlaen at Nadolig gartref ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr gyda’i deulu – ei fam, ei dad a’i frawd Gabriel, sydd hefyd wedi derbyn aren.
Hwn fydd y tro cyntaf ers blynyddoedd i’r ddau frawd fod yn iach ac i’r teulu allu mwynhau’r Nadolig.
Dywedodd eu tad, Kamil, “Chawson ni ddim Nadolig y llynedd a dweud y gwir. Roedd Alex yn yr ysbyty dros y Nadolig a’r Flwyddyn Newydd ac roedden ni’n gofalu amdano wrth iddo wella.”
“Y bwriad y Nadolig hwn yw bod gyda’n gilydd, fel teulu. Byddwn ni’n treulio ychydig ddyddiau i ffwrdd ger yr Wyddfa i ddathlu Nos Galan ac i fwynhau bod gyda’n gilydd.”
“Dylai pawb o leiaf feddwl am roi organau, a beth allai hynny ei wneud i bobl eraill. Rhoi bywyd newydd i rywun yw’r peth gorau y gall person ei wneud.”
Mae dros 8,000 o bobl yn y Deyrnas Unedig, gan gynnwys 380 o bobl yng Nghymru, yn wynebu’r Nadolig eleni yn aros am drawsblaniad organ.
