Chapter 15: Facing a Choice (1)
"Fei, do you have time to come to my doctor's office to find me?" Liu Xuan's voice rang on the phone.
"Okay, I'll come back when I'm done with the operation."
After the operation, I ran to the infirmary, and when I saw Liu Xuan in front of the computer, I asked, "What's the matter, let Dr. Liu call me so urgently." ”
"The results of your Down screening are out, huh...... There was a little problem, that is, the risk value of this 21-trisomy was reported at 1:270, which is a little more serious......"
I took the examination list to see, the risk value of trisomy 21 is 1:270, and it is written at the back that it is high risk, and mothers who want to do a Down syndrome screening know that once the high risk is reported, it means that the child has a high probability of congenital abnormalities of trisomy 21.
Trisomy 21 also means that the child has Down syndrome, which is what we call Down syndrome. Thinking of this, I subconsciously touched my stomach. I suppressed the trembling in my heart, pretended to be calm and smiled and said to Liu Xuan, "Okay, I know, don't tell our family Lin Jia first, your two classmates have been so many years, you also know his temper, he is always nervous." ”
Liu Xuan looked at me worriedly and said, "Okay, in fact, this risk value is just a probability value, if we want to be sure, we still need to do amniocentesis." So not necessarily, you have to be calm first. And you are under the age of 35 and do not have any family history or other bad history, so don't worry. ”
I looked at Liu Xuan with a smile and thanked her for comforting me at this time. I didn't take the elevator with the test sheet, and went down the stairwell from the 14th floor from the obstetrics department to the operating room, and I couldn't help but cry when I passed the equipment floor. I don't know, will there be a problem with this child, and if this child does have a problem, what will happen next? Induced labor or something else, he already has a heartbeat, he is already a child and not a fertilized egg, thinking of this, I can't suppress the sadness in my heart, although I know that the result is not yet determined, but I don't know why I just can't stop wanting to cry.
I don't know how long it took me to walk from the sixth floor to the fifth floor, back to Corey, I didn't talk to anyone, I couldn't keep up my spirits, silently changed clothes and went home.
On the way home, I called my mother in advance and told her that she was too tired from work today, so she picked up the mango from kindergarten and went directly to her mother's house, and I wanted to have a good rest at night. My mother thought that I was pregnant and tired from work, so she agreed directly, but fortunately she didn't ask me why.
I sat alone in the small garden of the neighborhood and didn't know what to do, didn't want to go home, didn't want to talk. During this period, Lin Jia called me several times, but I didn't answer. It wasn't until it got dark that I got up and went home.
When I got home, Lin Jia had already returned, and as soon as I entered the door, Lin Jia asked, "You called you several times and you didn't answer, I called Corey, and the doorman said that you had already left, and my mother said that you felt too tired to pick up mangoes today, where did you go, if you don't come back, I will really call the police again." ”
"No, I'm too tired today, I can't walk downstairs, so I sit in the garden and rest for a while, just look at the greenery and change my mood. I went on silent on my phone, and then I forgot to turn on the sound, I'm sorry, I'm worried. ”
"I'm just afraid that something will happen to you, then, you change your clothes and take a break, I'll make you what you want to eat today?"
"You eat, husband, I don't have much appetite, I want to lie down"
"Alright, lie down."
After lying down, I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, sleepless all night, a long night, I looked at Lin Jia sleeping soundly, and my heart was sad again.
