Chapter 98: A Thunderbolt from the Clear
As soon as Zhou Zhou saw Ye Hui coming, he immediately forgot about his illness.
"Brother, where have you been?" Zhou Zhou asked, "You don't want Zhou Zhou anymore?"
Ye Hui said distressedly, "Why don't I want Zhouzhou, Zhouzhou is so cute!"
"I don't grab a computer with my brother anymore. Zhou Zhou said.
"Brother, I'm sorry, it's my brother's fault. Seeing Zhouzhou suffering so much, Ye Hui was also very distressed.
Seeing the two little ones shaking hands, the adults were very relieved. However, what results will be checked by Zhouzhou tomorrow, and everyone has pressed a boulder in their hearts.
Early the next morning, the nurse came to draw blood for Zhouzhou.
"Dad, I'm afraid it hurts. "Zhouzhou dodged.
"Good son, let the nurse take some blood for us, do a check-up, and then cure the disease, we will be discharged from the hospital and never enter the hospital again, okay?" Yuan Man reassured.
"Dad, I'm afraid. "Zhou Zhou still refuses to draw blood.
"Son, be obedient!" Yuan Man said solemnly, "You are all second-grade students, and you are still afraid of injections and examinations?"
Zhou Zhou saw his father talking to him with a serious face, and he chuckled in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak out anymore, so he had to ask the nurse to draw blood.
Yuan Man fidgeted in the ward. There were several times when I wanted to ask the doctor about the results, but I was afraid of hearing bad news, so I was still restless in the ward. But he was afraid that Zhou Zhou would see his anxious appearance, so he sat by the window of the corridor, looked at the Yangtze River in the distance, and thought about his thoughts.
"Why are you sitting here?" Zhao Wei came to bring daily necessities to Zhouzhou, and it was strange to see Yuan Man sitting in the corridor, "You slept here last night? How can your body stand it? I will take care of him tonight, you go back and have a good rest with me, don't drag yourself down." ”
"Nope. I squeezed into a bed with Zhouzhou last night. Yuan Man pretended to laugh, "That kid is too fat, and he didn't leave me a place to sleep." ”
"How's it going?, are the results out?" asked Zhao Wei.
"I didn't dare ask. Yuan Man said, "I'm a little scared." ”
Zhao Wei was silent after hearing this, and then said, "No matter how scared you are, you have to ask." If you're afraid, I'll ask. ”
Zhouzhou's attending doctor is surnamed Hou, a very thin male doctor in his 40s. But now is not the time for jokes.
Dr. Hou told Zhao Wei that at first they saw coagulation dysfunction, and the first suspicion was hemophilia.
"Hemophilia?" Zhao Wei didn't know what hemophilia was.
"Hemophilia is a group of bleeding disorders with hereditary coagulopathy, and their common characteristics are impaired active thromboplastin production, prolonged clotting time, lifelong propensity for bleeding after mild trauma, and 'spontaneous' bleeding in severe patients without obvious trauma. Dr. Hou said.
But this introduction is too professional for Zhao Wei to understand.
"Is this hemophilia you are talking about very serious?" Zhao Wei asked worriedly.
"Hemophilia is simply a disease that is difficult to stop bleeding from an injury and is a lifelong disease. Dr. Hou said, "Based on your son's condition, our initial diagnosis is hemophilia. However, according to our further testing, it was found that your child's situation is not so rosy. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhao Wei asked, "What do you mean by not being so optimistic?
"We did four coagulation tests for your child, and although it was a little different from the normal value, it was not abnormal. "The APTT is 30 seconds, the normal value is 25 to 37 seconds, and if it exceeds the normal value by 10 seconds, it is abnormal." ”
"What is APTT?" Zhao Wei asked.
"Activated partial thromboplastin time. "It's a more technical medical term." ”
"The second item is prothrombin time, or PT, which is normal for 11 to 14 seconds, and if it exceeds this 3 seconds, it is abnormal. The doctor said, "But your child is only more than 1 second, which is not within normal values, but it is not abnormal." The activity level is 119%, which is also within the normal range of 80% to 120%.
"The third is fibrinogen (FIB) testing, which is normal 2-4g/L, which is within the normal value for your child.
"The fourth item is thrombin time (TT), which is normal for 12 to 16 seconds, and if it exceeds 3 seconds, it is considered abnormal. "But your child's TT value is 13, which is not very high." But his nosebleed never stopped. If hemophilia is ruled out, then we suspect leukemia. ”
"What?leukemia?" Zhao Wei was stunned when she heard this. Based on her past knowledge, Zhao Wei knows that leukemia is a terminal disease, which is the so-called blood cancer.
"Doctor, you're not mistaken, are you?" asked Zhao Wei in a trembling voice.
"We only examined his blood and found that his red blood cells and hemoglobin were low, and his thrombocytopenia was reduced, but his white blood cells were significantly elevated. Coupled with the fact that his body temperature has risen significantly this morning, his gums are bleeding, his skin is pale, and he has purpura on some parts of his body, so we suspect leukemia. "But to confirm the diagnosis, we need to do further tests." Prepare yourself, after we check your child's physical condition, we will perform a bone marrow aspiration on him and take bone marrow fluid for testing. ”
"Doctor, he's still a child, so he's going to wear bone marrow?" Zhao Wei said worriedly, "Does the shadow affect his body?"
"You're still worried that the bone marrow puncture won't affect his body. "We were still worried about whether he had leukemia." ”
Seeing Zhao Wei coming with a sad face, Yuan Man hurriedly greeted him, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Wei was silent for a long time before she said sadly, "Husband, what should I do?"
Although he had a premonition, Yuan Man still forcibly calmed down, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Wei looked at Zhouzhou on the hospital bed, as if he was asleep. She pulled Yuan Man aside and whispered, "The doctor said it might be leukemia." ”
"What?leukemia?!" Yuan Man was simply stunned. The speculation that Qin Guizhi said last night will become a reality?
"The doctor hasn't diagnosed it yet, it's just that it's suspected. Zhao Wei comforted, "They also have to carry out a series of inspections." ”
After a while, Dr. Hou came to the ward with a grim face.
"How's your day, kid?" Dr. Hou asked Zhouzhou.
"I'm sleepy. Zhou Zhou said, "I want to sleep." ”
"Then Uncle will give you a physical examination. Dr. Hou said gently, "After the examination, you can go to sleep, okay?"
Zhou Zhou nodded, "Yes." ”
"Kid, do you usually have any pain?" Dr. Hou asked.
"Sometimes my leg hurts a little bit. Zhou Zhou said.
Dr. Hou lifted Zhouzhou's leg, flexed his knee and asked, "Is it painful here?"
Zhou Zhou nodded, "Yes." ”
Dr. Hou pressed Zhouzhou's sternum and asked, "Does it hurt here?"
Zhou Zhou said, "It hurts." You're crushing me. ”
Dr. Hou smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my uncle used too much force." ”
Dr. Hou touched Zhouzhou's neck again to see if there were any swollen lymph nodes. But he still felt the smooth, non-adherent, non-tender lymph nodes. His expression became more and more grim.
"This afternoon, I went to take a B-ultrasound and check the liver and spleen to see if there was any enlargement. Dr. Hou said to Yuan Man, "I'll give you a disposal order in a while, you should go to the imaging department to make an appointment and take the film early." ”
"Doctor, my son ......" Yuan Man asked nervously. In fact, there is no need to ask, just looking at Dr. Hou's expression, you can understand everything.
Dr. Hou gestured to interrupt Yuan Man's questioning, "Come to my office and speak." ”
Yuan Man and Zhao Wei followed Dr. Hou to the doctor's office nervously.
"Judging from the physical examination I just had, it is suspected of leukemia. Dr. Hou said, "Does he usually have no abnormal reactions?"
"I didn't hear him say anything uncomfortable. Zhao Wei said with some self-reproach, "He used to talk about joint pain, and I thought he was too fat." I forced him to exercise to lose weight, and he felt very tired. I didn't care, though. I was really derelict in my duties. ”
Yuan Man put his arm around Zhao Wei's shoulder, "It's not your fault." We are usually busy earning money and don't pay much attention to the children. ”
"Go to the appointment first, try to shoot as soon as possible, and then find a suitable time to do a bone marrow aspirate. Dr. Hou said, "May God bless it, a false alarm." ”
However, the sky did not favor the young Zhouzhou, and very cruelly brought such a reality, Zhouzhou suffered from leukemia!
The moment he got the test report, Yuan Man's sky fell!
