Volume 2 Piano Competition Chapter 206 Countdown
At this time, in an intensive care unit of the hospital.
A girl is lying quietly on the hospital bed, her body is attached to various instruments to monitor her vital status, and the heart rate tester next to her is constantly showing the girl's heart rate changes, making a "tick tick" sound.
The girl's parents sat next to the hospital bed, and the mother gently stroked the girl's face, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and her eyes were full of grief and despair.
The father stood aside, silent, but the worry and sadness in his eyes lingered.
In this Spring Festival, which should be festive and joyful, they received such bad news, which made them parents unhappy.
In the hospital room, the heavy air is suffocating, and no one wants to stay longer in such an atmosphere.
"I'm out for a cigarette." Looking at his wife in front of him and his daughter lying on the hospital bed, the husband said this in a low tone and walked out of the ward.
"Ning Ning, you must not have anything to do, when you get better, we will accompany you to the finals. And, when you're ready...... Waiting for you ......"
As soon as he walked out of the ward, the husband heard the voice of his wife crying in grief coming from the ward, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Walking in the hallway, the husband was about to take out the cigarette case from his pocket, when he happened to see his daughter's attending doctor, so he walked over and stopped the doctor.
"Doctor, can you delay your time for a moment?"
The doctor recognized the middle-aged man who stopped him as a family member of the patient, and nodded: "Yes, but to make a long story short, I have other things." ”
As he spoke, the doctor couldn't help frowning, his tone was a little rushed, and he seemed a little impatient, which also showed that he was not in a very good mood.
It is no wonder that in the middle of the night, the patient's condition suddenly deteriorated, so that the doctor rushed from home to treat him, so that he could not rest properly last night and is now sleepy.
With such high-intensity work, doctors are even a little worried that sooner or later they will suddenly die on the workbench.
You don't have to think about it to know what the patient's family wants to talk to him, in this regard, the doctor is a little impatient, he has made it clear before, the patient's condition has temporarily stabilized, but the patient's family is not at ease, or to ask back and forth, which makes him a little impatient.
However, after so many years of medical practice, doctors have seen a lot of this situation, and it is not strange that they cannot understand the feelings of the patient's family, which is why he did not refuse the other party.
After being silent for a while, her husband tilted his head: "Doctor, how long can my daughter hold on?" ”
"It's not good to say, you have to know that your daughter's leukemia is a very serious kind, and it has reached an advanced stage, and the chance of cure is very small, and the mentality is more important than the treatment method. Judging from your daughter's current situation, if she can ensure an optimistic attitude and conservative estimates, she should be able to live for about half a month. Sorry, I've done my best. ”
After saying that, the doctor sighed regretfully and patted her husband on the shoulder.
Hearing this, the husband turned around, probably because he was afraid that the doctor would see him crying.
Such scenes are not uncommon in hospitals, and it can even be said that they are staged every day, and doctors have seen a lot of them, and they have long been surprised, or even numb.
However, for the father who wants to desperately save his daughter's life, the doctor will not be numb, nor can he be numb, he will feel sympathy, and he will try to save the patient
so that patients can live one more day in this world.
"This time happens to be the Spring Festival winter vacation, you should accompany her more every day, even if you have any work, you have to put it aside."
"I know...... I know...... I see, thank you, doctor. The husband raised his hand, wiped his face, and made a gesture to wipe his tears.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
Under normal circumstances, when they learn the news of their loved ones' imminent death, everyone will be sad and feel very uncomfortable.
Without saying anything more, the doctor shook his head and let out a sigh and walked out.
The husband stood there for a long time before he moved, raised his hand, and wiped his eyes.
As you can see, his eyes are already moist, and there are more bloodshots in his eyes.
Turning around, the husband walked in the direction of the elevator with heavy steps, intending to go outside the hospital to smoke a cigarette to calm himself down and relieve the grief in his heart a little.
But he had only walked two or three steps when he saw a teenager standing in front of him.
He recognized the teenager, who was in his daughter's ward next door to the other mother's before he was transferred to the intensive care unit last night, and who was also a friend of his daughter and often came to visit her.
He remembered that the boy's name was Duan Zilian.
Noticing that the other party's face was very ugly, her husband walked over and stopped in front of him: "You have come to see Ning Ning...... I'm sorry, Ning Ning is a little uncomfortable today, you can come back in a few days. ”
Duan Zi said in a deep voice: "Uncle, I know everything, I'm here, let me take a look." ”
"Did you hear all that you just said?" The husband asked.
"Hmm." Duan Zilian nodded heavily, his voice low.
After coming up from downstairs, Duan Zilian happened to see Li Shuning's father talking to a doctor, with his excellent hearing, coupled with the relative silence in the corridor, he clearly heard the conversation between Li Shuning's father and the doctor.
Hearing the news that Li Shuning could live for half a month at most, Duan Zilian was stunned for a while, feeling unbelievable, even incredible, and confused.
Just yesterday, he also came to the hospital to see Li Shuning and chat with Li Shuning, at that time, Li Shuning was fine, but who would have thought that it seemed that it was just a blink of an eye, and Li Shuning's life was only half a month away, and he couldn't accept this fact for a while.
"Ning Ning's ward is over there." Li Shuning's father pointed to one of the intensive care units and walked out, he just wanted to be alone now, and he didn't have the idea of saying anything to Duan Zilian.
Glancing back at Li Shuning's father, Duan Zilian felt that his back looked a little rickety, and he seemed to be much older, and he also knew that he must be more uncomfortable than himself now.
With a sigh, with mixed feelings, Duan Zilian walked to the intensive care unit where Li Shuning was.
……
At the same time, in an intensive care unit, Li Shuning slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying on an unfamiliar hospital bed, with various instruments attached to her body.
Moreover, as soon as she woke up, Li Shuning felt very uncomfortable, dizzy, extremely weak, as if she couldn't even lift a hand, and it seemed that the bones in her whole body were aching, and even made her feel that life was worse than death.
"Ning Ning, how do you feel when you wake up?"
Whispering
When her mother's hurried voice came, Li Shuning slowly turned her head and saw her mother sitting next to the hospital bed, her eyes were red and swollen, her eyes were bloodshot, her face was sad, and her face was still stained with tears.
"Mom, I'm fine, I'm just a little thirsty." Although it was uncomfortable to death, in order not to worry her mother, Li Shuning barely showed a smile, but with her pale face, her smile was not so good-looking, and even looked a little bitter.
"Mom, I'm going to pour you water." Li Shuning's mother immediately took out the thermos cup on the bedside table and poured Li Shuning a cup of warm boiling water.
Raising his hand with difficulty, taking the water cup, Li Shuning drank the water, and then asked, "Mom, what time is it now?" ”
"You suddenly fell into a coma last night, and it's noon the next day." Li Shuning's mother said in a low voice.
"Oh." Li Shuning responded. "Mom, can you help me shake up the hospital bed a bit?"
"Hmm." Li Shuning's mother immediately did the same, shaking up the hospital bed so that Li Shuning could lie on the hospital bed.
Feeling that her back was slowly being lifted up by the hospital bed, Li Shuning slowly looked at her mother, and couldn't help but think about how many days she could live.
Li Shuning knows her condition, even better than anyone else, in the advanced stage of acute leukemia, the leukemia cells have already spread throughout the body, and the chance of being cured is very small.
As for her condition, Li Shuning didn't tell her friends the truth, whenever others asked about her condition, her answer was "Go to the hospital for treatment, and you will be fine in a few years." ”
But the actual situation is only known to her, the frequency of the disease is getting higher and higher, the number of hospital admissions is also increasing, accompanied by bleeding and other symptoms, and even coma from time to time, her life has entered the countdown.
Even taking the most powerful painkillers can hardly resist the pain caused by the onset of the disease, but these are not the most important things for Li Shuning.
"I thought I was ready...... Now it seems that I have taken it for granted......" Li Shuning smiled self-deprecatingly.
Under normal circumstances, no one would want to die if they could.
Although she didn't ask, and her mother didn't say it, Li Shuning knew that her time was running out.
originally thought that she could face death calmly, but when it was time to face death, Li Shuning found that she was still afraid, at a loss, didn't know what to do, and her heart was chaotic, which could be said to be a mess.
Feeling extremely weak, Li Shuning tried to raise her hand, but just raising her hand, she felt a little tired and difficult, such a body couldn't play the piano at all, and she couldn't even leave the hospital.
Thinking of this, a strong sense of powerlessness came to her heart, making her feel very unwilling.
For a while, Li Shuning's heart was in turmoil, with both the fear of imminent death and the unwillingness to not be able to fulfill her wish.
All kinds of emotions were mixed together, causing Li Shuning to be very painful, and she felt like she was about to collapse.
Accompanied by complex emotions, unconsciously, Li Shuning suddenly felt an itch on her face, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks.
Hurriedly raised her hand with difficulty, Li Shuning wiped away the tears and tear stains on her face indiscriminately, not wanting her mother to see her crying, otherwise, she would make her mother worried.
