Chapter 50: A suffocating wait
The next morning.
Chen Mo went to the dormitory, and then she arrived at the hospital after 7 o'clock.
Dad was a step ahead of them.
"Have you had breakfast?" Dad was holding a bowl of porridge and a bun.
"Eat." Chen Mo nodded and replied with a smile.
Li Xiang talked with his mother for a while.
I fetched a basin of hot water for my mother to scrub her body.
The doctor went to work and started his rounds.
She went to the attending doctor and tremblingly signed a stack of agreements and surgical risk notices.
She watched as her mother was wheeled into the operating room by the green-clad doctor.
Li Xiang whispered in his mother's ear, "Come on, Mom." ”
She was terrified that this would be the last time she would see her mother.
Chen Mo accompanied Li Xiang and his father to wait outside the operating room.
The operating room was closed, and a red light came on.
This waiting is brutal and suffocating.
It is necessary not only for the doctor's medical skills, but also for the patient's will.
The clock is ticking and ticking.
At this moment, it was like the sound of my mother's heart beating, piercing Li Xiang's heart like a needle prick.
It was more than 1 hour away from the doctor's estimated operation time.
The high concentration of mind and walking around for a long time consumed Li Xiang too much physical energy.
Plus didn't eat breakfast, lunch.
Li Xiang felt dizzy, and Chen Mo helped her sit on the chair.
She seemed to be asleep, as if she saw the scene of her mother making braised pork for him in the kitchen.
I also saw the anxious and loving eyes of my mother who was sick and had a fever when I was a child, and my mother stayed by the bedside all night to warm up for herself.
The sky outside was gray and not a little clear.
Li Xiang didn't know what kind of torment his mother had endured inside.
The nurses who came in and out were in a hurry.
A family member was called into the small office next door, and when the family came out, the whole family hugged and cried.
The patient they were waiting for had failed surgery and would not wake up again.
More than 2 hours passed.
Li Xiang felt fear, and the anxiety in his eyes turned into tears.
Then began manic restlessness, self-talk and self-blame.
Then he began to shout grandpa and grandmother, and shouted to the gods to pray for his mother.
.....
Chen Mo comforted Li Xiang beside him.
"The doctor here is the best, don't worry.
My aunt has been tormented by heart disease for so many years, and this time it can finally be completely cured. In a little while she will come out. ”
Eleven hours later, the operating room door opened.
The opening of the door is about to signify the birth of a new life.
It can also mean the departure of a person.
There were beads of sweat on the doctor's face: "The operation was successful, and it needs to be observed for a period of time to see if there is rejection." ”
"Thank you, thank you....."
Li Xiang jumped and hugged Chen Mo and hugged his father: "Great, great." ”
There were tears in her eyes, this time tears of excitement.
"Well... Good... Okay..."Dad's hanging heart also fell.
Mom was pushed out.
Li Xiang seemed to have been separated from his mother for hundreds of years, and ran to his mother.
My mother was still under anesthesia, her eyes were closed, and she was unconscious.
Li Xiang looked at his mother's wrinkled and pale face, and her whole body was full of tubes.
Those tubes hurt like they stuck in Li Xiang's heart.
She thanked the unknown donor, whose life had been extended in her mother.
I am grateful to God for giving my mother a chance to be reborn.
"I'm so hungry....." Chen Mo bent over while clutching his stomach.
"Me too, call for takeout ..... immediately" Li Xiang took Chen Mo and his father's hands and followed the cart to the ward.
