Chapter 10 The Hardships of Raising Children
This summer is really hot, Ye'er is busy with the baby every day, but also to change and wash the diapers soiled by the baby in time, stir-fry and cook that is a task that can not be completed, only when I get home from work to stir-fry and cook, although the life during that time can be described as burnt, but we are very happy, very happy, none of us complained.
After dinner in the evening, Ye'er was already sleepy and tired, always went to bed early, sometimes didn't bother to wash up, fell asleep on the bed, and I took over the task of taking the baby at night to continue to complete it. Maybe it's because it's hot, maybe it's because the baby doesn't eat enough milk, now I know that most of the baby's crying and not sleeping at that time was because she didn't eat and drink enough of her favorite mother's milk, but at that time Ye'er and I didn't know that it was because of this reason. In this way, the baby is always reluctant to sleep, sometimes crying, every time at this time, I always hold the baby outside and walk back and forth, the baby is always close to my belly, like a well-behaved cat, lying on my body without moving, let me go back and forth in that small room.
The most infuriating and ridiculous thing is that as long as I want to be lazy and want to stop and rest for a while, the baby will immediately cry loudly, and I don't know how this weird elf knows that I stop walking, obviously I see her sleeping in my arms with her eyes closed, how can I stop as soon as the baby can immediately notice, and always open his eyes and grin and immediately cry loudly, is crying about her grievances? Or are you protesting against your dad's laziness? It is a kind of helpless happiness tired, tired willingly!
I've spent almost the whole summer in this state. Child, please remember: the only people in this world who can truly selflessly dedicate themselves to you are your parents! As for anyone else in the future, it is a game of life and an exchange of interests! Got it? My baby.
When the baby was eight or nine months old, the baby's right inner thigh suddenly had a large piece of redness and swelling, which was not very obvious at first, Ye Er and I thought it was caused by mosquito bites, we just habitually helped the baby's affected area to wipe a little toilet water, anti-itching, disinfection and sterilization.
However, after two or three days, the baby's redness and swelling are getting bigger and bigger, and the swelling is getting higher and higher, it is already the size of the baby's small fist, the mother has brought so many children, this situation is also the first time to see, the mother can't tell what the cause of the redness and swelling on the baby's legs, Ye'er and I decided to take the baby to the hospital to see a doctor. When I arrived at the community hospital, the doctor checked the baby's affected area, and said very confidently and lightly, this is just a big boil, and after a few days the boil matures and pus comes out, you only need to use a scalpel to make a small incision in the affected area, release the pus, wipe some disinfectant and it will be fine. After listening to the doctor's words, Ye'er and I also believe that in two or three days, according to what the doctor said, the baby will soon recover.
After another two days, the baby's affected area did not show signs of pus at all as expected by the community doctor, but the range of redness and swelling became larger, the swelling was higher, and the range of redness and swelling had changed from the size of the baby's small fist to the size of my fist, Ye'er, mother and I were very anxious, it seemed that the words of the community doctor could not be believed, and Ye'er and I decided to take the baby to a big hospital in the city to see a doctor.
The next day, Ye'er and I took the baby to a big hospital in the city to see a doctor. Queuing, registration, outpatient clinic, everything is carried out in an orderly manner in my and Ye'er's good wishes, Ye'er and I believe that the baby's inner thigh redness and swelling should not be a big problem, to the big hospital, the doctors here are experienced, and will quickly and so easily cure the baby's pain.
When we waited in line to hold the baby to the doctor to check the affected area, we were greeted by an old doctor in his fifties, Ye Er and I were very lucky, we were fortunate to meet an older doctor, we believe that the older doctor must be more experienced, and can quickly cure the baby's red and swollen area.
However, when we pointed to the redness and swelling of the baby's affected area to the doctor, the doctor scratched the sparse hair with his hand, and also said to us with a confused face, the redness and swelling of the baby's affected area should indeed be a big boil, but if it is really a big boil, after so many days, it should have matured, that is to say, it should come out of pus, but the current situation is that there is no such sign at all.
Finally, the doctor told us that if we want to know what is going on with the redness and swelling of the baby's affected area, we can only do a puncture treatment to see what is going on inside the redness and swelling. Ye'er and I don't know what kind of medical behavior this doctor calls "puncture".
This doctor is not a skilled doctor, but he should definitely be a doctor in charge. The doctor explained to me and Ye'er that "puncture" is to take a large empty syringe, without any anesthetic, and insert the needle into the red and swollen area, and then extract the pus inside for testing, through the test, to see what is the cause of the baby's redness and swelling.
Ye'er and I listened to the doctor's introduction, the two of us were very nervous, worried, scared, and distressed about the suffering that the baby was going to suffer, but we had no other choice than listening to the doctor.
After seeing the complicated expressions of me and Ye'er, the doctor said to Ye'er and me with the same confidence and understatement as the community doctor, it's okay, just hold on for a while, just like the usual baby vaccination, but this time the syringe used is a little bigger. But he believes that the baby's redness and swelling have not been purulent and improved after such a long time, indicating that these pus must be hidden deep in the baby's redness and swelling, just find these pus through puncture treatment, and then release them.
Looking at Ye Er's and Ye'er's puzzled and disbelieving expressions, the doctor assured him again, please believe him, the pus must be hidden in the depths of the redness and swelling, and through the "puncture", he will definitely extract the pus.
