Chapter 1: Choices
The grass grows and swallows fly, and the row of willow trees that sprout in the distance is as green as smoke, dancing in the breeze with thousands of silks. The grass under the willow trees was soft, and a dozen children frolicked and chased and played football on it.
The wildflowers in the meadow are scattered like stars, some red, some yellow, some white, attracting butterflies of all sizes. At the end of the meadow, I don't know whose yard it is, the apricot blossoms poke out of the wall, and the bees are making endless spring.
In the delivery room, a mother is working hard to give birth, and the expectant mother is sweating profusely in pain. However, she was stoic, biting her lip and letting out a muffled roar, her hands clutching her clothes hard.
Outside the delivery room, her husband, parents and in-laws were nervous. Her husband, in particular, was anxiously pacing around.
Suddenly, outside the glass of the corridor, the sky became overcast, and a black cloud obscured the bright sun. Parents on the grass began to call their children home, and the children threw themselves into the arms of their mothers, who opened their arms and took their children into their arms, like old hens spreading their wings and protecting their chicks under them.
A flash of lightning flashed, the door of the delivery room opened, and doctors and nurses rushed out of it with a small emergency bed and rushed to the ICU.
"Is Wei Mingxia's family here?"
The head nurse asked, standing at the door.
"I, I am", Wei Mingxia's husband Zhang Weiguo replied a little nervously.
"After the child is born, due to ischemia and hypoxia, it needs to be rescued, you should hurry up and go to the ICU"!
"Boom", a muffled thunder shook the heavens and the earth, and Zhang Weiguo also felt shocked by the head nurse's words at this moment.
Zhang Weiguo reacted for a few seconds and hurried to catch up with the child. Wei Mingxia's parents-in-law were also stunned by the head nurse's words, ischemia and hypoxia?
They had never heard of it, and when they saw their son run away, they ran away with him in a daze.
"Doctor, how is your lordship?"
Wei Mingxia's parents pulled the head nurse and asked worriedly.
The head nurse replied: "Wei Mingxia is fine, she will come out in a while." After the head nurse finished speaking, she entered the delivery room.
As long as their daughter is okay, Wei Mingxia's parents thought reassuringly.
Not long after the head nurse entered, Wei Mingxia was slowly helped out of the delivery room by a nurse, and her parents hurriedly came up to pick her up.
"How is it?", Wei Mingxia's mother asked her with concern as she hugged her daughter.
Wei Mingxia shook her head and said, "It's okay" and replied with a reassuring smile from her mother, her mother was a lot more relieved to see her daughter's smile.
Wei Mingxia's smile was a little tired and a little worried, and her parents began to worry about their children.
They silently prayed in their hearts that the child would be safe, and at this moment, Zhang Weiguo was standing outside the rescue room, clenching his fists, and his mother was nagging: "What kind of daughter-in-law did you marry, you won't even have a child, and it's okay for someone else's daughter-in-law to give birth to a child, why is she deprived of blood and oxygen when she gives birth to a child?"
"When is it, still nagging about this", Zhang Weiguo's father interrupted her. She stopped talking about this, and began to chant the words: "God, bless my eldest grandson, bless my eldest grandson in peace."
Zhang Weiguo was already worried that his mother's non-stop at the moment made his heart even more irritable.
At this time, it was already raining in the sky, and the sound of "bang-la-la" rain made Zhang Weiguo restless. After more than half an hour of waiting, a doctor finally came out of the emergency room, and Zhang Weiguo and his parents hurriedly surrounded him.
"How's the kid, doctor?"
The doctor told them: "I am stable for the time being, but I still need to be observed, and I am not out of danger yet."
Zhang Weiguo was a little relieved, and his mother asked, "Doctor, is that child a boy or a girl?"
"Boys".
"I knew it was the eldest grandson," Zhang Weiguo's mother was happy.
Although Zhang Weiguo's father was worried, when he heard that it was a boy, he secretly had a trace of joy in his heart.
After all, they didn't know what it was, or what was going to greet them.
The doctor in charge called Zhang Weiguo and explained to Zhang Weiguo carefully: "Ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy is a brain lesion caused by hypoxia in perinatal neonates. ”
Zhang Weiguo asked nervously: "Then is my child so good?"
The doctor replied solemnly: "For the time being, it is more serious, and there is a possibility that the brain will be ischemia and hypoxia again."
After Zhang Weiguo came out of the doctor's office, he was in a heavy mood and felt weak when he walked.
Before he could figure it out, his child was rescued again, but it was even more serious, and the doctor asked him to sign a critical illness notice!
Zhang Weiguo waited with hope for the child to be rescued, however, in the middle of the night, the child entered the rescue again due to suffocation.
The doctor in charge talked to Zhang Weiguo again: "The child has a lot of ischemia and hypoxia in the brain due to multiple suffocations, and the brain damage is irreversible.
"Will it affect his ability to walk in the future?"
The doctor in charge replied: "It's just possible, not only the lower limbs, but also the upper limbs will be affected, if all four limbs are affected, then the child will not only be affected in walking, but also some self-care skills, such as dressing, eating, and brushing teeth, will not be able to complete independently."
Zhang Weiguo felt that the world was spinning at this moment, and asked the doctor: "What should I do then?"
"Because the child is heavier, I don't recommend continuing to resuscitate. Ethically, this is cruel. However, from a medical point of view, even if the child is rescued now, his life will be very painful in the future."
Zhang Weiguo listened, his face was pale, he couldn't speak, and the doctor said: "You better go back and think about it, you can also discuss it, and then make a decision"!
After Zhang Weiguo came out of the doctor's office, his parents asked him, "What did the doctor say?"
"Say," his mother yelled. Zhang Weiguo repeated the doctor's words, and his mother slumped in her chair like a deflated ball.
His father was silent for a long time and said, "Let's discuss this matter with Xiaoxia."
Wei Mingxia couldn't wait in the ward, she was worried about the child, and finally looked forward to her husband's return, but she heard such a lightning bolt.
Wei Mingxia cried, the child is the flesh of her heart, she was born after ten years of hard work and labor pains, how can she give up?
However, if you don't give up, if your child's life is so difficult in the future, wouldn't it be unfair to him?
Zhang Weiguo didn't know how to choose, and the parents of both sides didn't dare to say much, after all, this is a living life, who would do such a cruel thing?
If you don't give up, will it be more cruel to your children?
