"Mom?" In the dark, Mango tugged at the corner of my clothes.

"What's wrong? Baby? I asked softly.

"Mom, what's wrong with my sister? Why do you look so unhappy? Mango gently touched the little cream with his hand.

"My sister has a fever, you touch it, is it a little hot?"

"Don't worry, we'll go to the hospital now." Lin Jia took advantage of the time to wait for the red light, turned around and said to me, "How is it, is it burning badly?" ”

I rubbed my hands together and put them in Little Cream's clothes and touched them, the child was sweating, I thought it was going to have a fever, and then Little Cream made a rough coughing sound.

"Sounds like a deep cough." I'm a little worried.

"Soon, don't worry, I'll go to the hospital now."

At 9:50 p.m., Lin Jia and I arrived at the hospital with our two children. When I was about to get out of the car, I turned to Lin Jia and said, "You take the mangoes home, you see the mangoes are sleepy." ”

I looked at Mango, who was leaning on the back seat and couldn't open his eyes, and I couldn't bear it.

"But ......"

"Don't be, you have to listen to my arrangement, I can do it myself, Mom and Dad have already gone home, there's nothing to worry about, we can take a taxi back later, your task now is to take Mango home, wash her face and coax her to sleep."

"How can you see a doctor by yourself with a little cream."

"Why can't you see a doctor, people can't see a doctor without a husband? Wasn't it all me when Mango was a kid before? Hurry up and take the mango back, I'll call you if there's something. ”

Lin Jia saw that I insisted, so he had to agree with my idea.

I wrapped the little cream in my coat, said goodbye to Lin Jia, and hurried upstairs.

Ding, the elevator stopped on the 13th floor, the elevator door opened, and I asked the nurse at the nurses' station "Hello, where is the doctor?" ”

It's winter, it's the flu season, and the entire pediatric department is full, even the corridor is full of extra beds.

"The doctor is in the infirmary, are you seeing a doctor?"

"Well, the kid has a fever."

I walked to the infirmary with the little cream, "Hello teacher, please help us take a look." I greeted the doctor who was typing in front of the computer politely to the creator.

The doctor turned around, and the doctor, who was about 40 years old, wearing glasses, motioned for me to sit down, and patiently asked, "What's going on?" ”

"The child had a fever on the third day today, and the fever has not gone away, and yesterday the child's grandmother took the child to the clinic for an intestinal filling."

"Still doing this?" The doctor frowned, "Don't you know that this kind of operation is a contraindication for children?" ”

"I know, but because my child didn't live with me yesterday, I didn't know until today."

"Here, take your temperature." I gently clamped the thermometer that the doctor handed me under the armpit of the little cream, and then gently patted the little cream, and the doctor chatted with me while waiting.

"You look familiar, you're from the hospital too?"

"Well, teacher, I'm from the operating room." I smiled at the doctor.

"No wonder, it feels a little familiar, I guess I've seen it."

Ten minutes later, I took out the thermometer and showed it to the doctor, "38 degrees 5, a little bit lower than before, about two hours or less than three hours ago, I took ibuprofen." ”

"Let's take a blood draw like this, the flu has been high recently, and it's better to treat the symptoms."

"Okay." I handed the card to the doctor.

"Is it okay for you to hold the baby alone at this late hour?"

"Yes, there is no way there is another child at home, and his father has to watch the other one, so I have to come by myself."

"Let's go."

I stuffed the card in my coat pocket, threw the changing bag in the infirmary, and rewrapped the little cream tightly before I dared to press the elevator and prepare to go downstairs.

The blood was drawn on the second floor of Building 5, where the pediatric ward building is very close to Building 5, but because of the thick clothes, it was not too easy to hold, so I had to stop and go, and then change hands and hold the little cream again.

I finally arrived at the emergency blood drawing place, because it was night, and it took me a long time to ring the doorbell before an inspector slowly walked out of it, "Hello, draw blood for the child." ”

"Sit down."

I sat down and sandwiched the child's legs between my two legs, put my head against Little Cream's forehead, and then pressed her arm with both hands.

Although it was a fingertip blood, I was still afraid of Xiao Cream's movement, so I fixed Xiao Cream's arm with all my might, and comforted her softly, "Xiao Cream is not afraid, Xiao Cream is not afraid, it's Mom, let's be brave, just take a blood test." ”

I put my chin against the forehead of the little cream to prevent the little cream from moving, and soon the blood was drawn, the little cream no longer struggled, but still cried very much, in order not to disturb the others, I simply untied the clothes, hoping that the breast milk could calm the little cream, and sure enough, as soon as she took it into her mouth, she stopped crying, just hummed softly.

The weaned child, back to the mother's arms, although there is no milk, but still can get a little comfort, I wrapped the child, took the test results and hurried upstairs, it was already nine winter, but I ran soaked.

When I sat out of breath in the doctor's office, the doctor said, "Lift up the child's clothes and I'll listen." ”

I lifted the little cream dress that was lying on my side in my arms and listened to my lungs again with a stethoscope.

"According to the test sheet and lung auscultation analysis, I think it should be pneumonia, but our hospital is full, why don't you change hospitals."

At this time, I held Xiao Cream's cold hand, I knew that it should be that the body temperature was going to rise again, so my hands and feet were cold again, "Teacher, please accept us, which hospital will you let me go to this big night." ”

"This ...... Look, our hospital is full, and we can't even live in an extra bed. The doctor told me in embarrassment.

At this time, I happened to meet the head nurse of the ICU, and when I came to the door of the infirmary, I heard my voice and stretched out my head to see: "Feifei?" ”

"Teacher Chen, why are you here?"

"I'll check on the night, what about you?"

"The child is sick," I said to Nurse Chen embarrassedly, "we don't have a bed in the hospital, and I am begging the teacher to accept us." ”

At this time, the head nurse walked in: "Doctor Wang, this is our staff of this hospital, you can accept them for the sake of the face of the people in this hospital, you see that the two of them came to see the doctor, she was holding the child alone in the middle of the night, where did you let her go." ”

At this time, I quickly said, "Yes, yes, teacher, it's okay to have a bench to sit on and let us have an infusion, and we will stay in a few days when we have a bed." ”

Because the little cream is really serious, so Dr. Wang thought about it again and again and accepted us, I took the child and ran to the inpatient department to pay the fee, and then waited for the liquid, and it was already one o'clock in the morning when everything was done.

Sitting on the bench in the corridor, the wind blew the soaked clothes made me shiver, I tore off the scarf around my neck to make myself comfortable, I held the little cream, I didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing her sleep.
