(26) A difficult week
Zhang Gang rushed down with an arrow step, like crazy, picked up the child, his eyes were like copper bells, and he shouted in horror: "Baby, what's wrong with you?" Baby, Daddy I'm sorry for you! Daddy I'm sorry for you! The baby cried "wow", anxious and sharp, and the heart-rending cry resounded in the sky.
"Call 120!" Li Xiaocan came to his senses. The pain in his left foot was so painful that he couldn't move, Li Xiaocan couldn't take care of himself, and there was only a child crying with his mouth wide open in his eyes.
After playing 120, you can only wait. Time passed minute by minute, and it was incredibly long.
Zhang Gang held the injured baby, picked up the quilt, and carefully wrapped the baby, and the baby's crying did not decrease at all. Li Xiaocan struggled to sit up, stretched out his hand to hold the baby, but his arms hurt and couldn't lift it. Zhang Gang handed the baby to Li Xiaocan, she lifted her clothes and stuffed the nipple into the baby's mouth, but the baby didn't eat, only opened her mouth wide and cried, her face was flushed, and she was sweating profusely. Li Xiaocan was very distressed. The milk dripped on the baby's face, and Li Xiaocan's tears also dropped on the baby's face, and the baby cried even more fiercely, as if he wanted to burst his throat. Li Xiaocan wiped the baby's face with clothes, but he couldn't wipe it clean. Zhang Gang was so anxious that he hurriedly called his parents.
Half an hour later, 120 finally came. Zhang Gang bought medical records, registered, paid money, and ran around looking for doctors, Li Xiaocan sat in a wheelchair and looked at the baby who was still crying in his arms, trembling in distress, helpless, panicking, anxious and self-blame, she was remorseful.
A bunch of examinations, the male doctor in room X was wearing slippers, and he looked like a hanger. After filming, Li Xiaocan thought that she was ready to go out, but the doctor stopped her: "Pick up the jade pendant and shoot it again." ”
Li Xiaocan was speechless, why didn't you ask me to take away the jade pendant before filming? Is it OK for X-rays to have radiation? Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Xiaocan did not argue. After doing X-rays and CT, lying on the cold table, the machine "rumbled", and Xiao Can felt scared. Thinking that his son was only more than a month old and still had to be anesthetized, lying alone on the platform, so small, less than one-tenth of the table, it must not know what was going on in its little head, what was it doing, it must be very scared, Li Xiaocan wanted to strangle himself.
An hour of torment passed, and the results came in. Li Xiaocan's heart hung tightly, what was the doctor saying, Li Xiaocan stared at the doctor's closed mouth, for fear that he had heard it wrong, as if the doctor was not talking about the condition, but the verdict. The baby suffered a rib fracture and lung contusion, and was admitted to the hospital for observation. He fractured the anterior lower edge of his left acetabulum, plus several pieces of skin on his face, thighs, and elbows, and Li Xiaocan was fine.
The baby was still crying, Li Xiaocan was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't move, listening to the baby crying in pain, his heart seemed to be ripped off.
Late at night, the baby finally got tired of crying, crying for hours on end, exhausting his strength. After a few bites, I started to sleep. The injured baby is like a frightened rabbit, and as soon as there is a little movement, he immediately starts crying. Broken ribs, it hurts when you stretch your hand, it hurts when you choke on milk, it hurts when you cry, it hurts when you suck milk, it hurts when you burp, and it hurts even more when you choke. Therefore, the baby is always crying.
What's even more worrying is that the baby suddenly began to squirt milk, gulping and squirting. In less than two seconds, the milk that I just drank squirted out, wetting a large piece of my clothes, and I began to cry sharply after spraying. Zhang Gang clumsily changed the baby's diapers and clothes, and clumsily held the baby back and forth, coaxing the baby. Zhang Gang is not skilled, he may have hurt the baby, the baby cried more fiercely, crying breathlessly, only to see his mouth open wide but no sound, trembling all over, and his face was red. Li Xiaocan hated to jump up by herself, change the baby's clothes by herself, and secretly prayed in her heart that her mother-in-law would arrive soon.
The baby was crying with sweat, his hands were wet and sticky, his fluffy hair was sticking together, and his body was wet. Zhang Gang won't bathe the baby, and the baby's pain won't be touched, so he can only soak it uncomfortably.
In order to give the baby a sense of security, Li Xiaocan grabbed the baby's little hand with two hands, kissed the baby's head with his mouth, and slowly coaxed gently, so he finally survived the night.
The next day, the baby vomited even more, and vomited once after eating. His eyes gradually began to blur, and he didn't look around flexibly as before, just staring straight at the ceiling. The little face is no longer as rosy as before, and it looks yellow. The baby has lost a lot of weight and his spirit has also improved.
Zhang Gang hired a nurse, who claimed that he had more than ten years of experience and had worked as a confinement lady. Zhang Gang, who was anxious, gave the nurse a high price of 200 yuan for 8 hours and paid it in advance. After feeding Xiaocan, the nurse bought towels and other daily necessities, coaxed the baby, and saw that the baby was asleep, so he said to Li Xiaocan: "I'll go out to the toilet and come back in a while", Li Xiaocan nodded.
But left and right, this nurse did not come back, Li Xiaocan was annoyed, the money paid directly at that time did not leave a phone, Zhang Gang and Li Xiaocan were helpless against the crying and painful baby. After waiting for more than three hours, the nurse came back slowly. Li Xiaocan was full of anger and sprinkled: "You can go to the toilet for a long time, more than three hours!" Me and my baby are lying here, can't you see? We need care, are you blind? After receiving the money, people will run away, and you won't look at what black money you collect! My baby is crying so poorly, where have you been! We kindly gave the money in advance, and you don't care! This money, send you to buy medicine and be hospitalized, I don't want you, stay where it's cool! Get lost! ”
The entire ward echoed with Li Xiaocan's scolding. They couldn't imagine that a patient lying on the bed and unable to move would scold people without rest. Li Xiaocan didn't know that she would scold people, if it wasn't for the baby, she couldn't afford to lose this person if she was given a thousand faces. When she was in a hurry, she was like a female leopard who cared for her calf, and whoever bullied the baby rushed up to fight hard.
Finally the mother-in-law came, Li Xiaocan felt for the first time that her mother-in-law was so important, in addition to Li Xiaocan and Zhang Gang in the world, the most loving baby is the mother-in-law and father-in-law. The mother-in-law will never let the baby cry like this, nor will she leave the baby alone, let alone change the baby's diaper regardless of the weight. Li Xiaocan saw her mother-in-law, just like an injured child seeing her relatives, tears flowed down at once.
The mother-in-law picked up the baby, the baby's voice was already crying hoarsely, the cry was far less loud than the original, and the eyes were swollen into a slit. The mother-in-law was shocked and called a doctor, who recommended a CT scan. An hour and a half later, the results came out, and the brain was hemorrhaged, so he was immediately transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit for resuscitation, and a serious illness notice was issued.
When Li Xiaocan learned the result, he was like five thunderbolts, and tears came out again. She clenched her fists, her fingers almost in her palms, and she felt remorseful. If she hadn't quarreled with Zhang Gang, if she hadn't left angrily, if she hadn't hugged the baby, if she could hold the baby tightly, if she hadn't walked to the staircase...... Well, nothing will happen, and it is a pity that so many ifs have not avoided disaster. What a poor baby, he doesn't know anything, he has done nothing wrong, he is so young, he is so perfect, but he has to pay for his parents' mistakes, endure inhuman pain, and experience life and death tribulations.
Li Xiaocan began to believe in fate, she used to think that her mother-in-law was superstitious, but now she suddenly believed, this is fate.
After completing the procedures for transferring to the children's intensive care unit, Zhang Gang returned. Li Xiaocan couldn't help but complain to him: "Why did you want to pull me at that time? ”
Zhang Gang was silent. The mother-in-law couldn't listen to it anymore: "What are you complaining about him?" Have you thought about your own problems? Your responsibilities are much greater than Zhang Gang's! Why don't you hold your baby tightly? Would it hurt so badly otherwise? ”
The father-in-law standing on the side also helped: "This matter, everyone thinks it's your fault." ”
Li Xiaocan is not convinced, my mother-in-law is so partial every time, and it is my fault every time! So he blurted out: "You guys are eccentric!" After only this sentence, he turned his head angrily, not daring to say more, after all, he was still afraid of his mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law didn't like to listen to it anymore, and shouted: "Why are you so unlistenable? Isn't it your responsibility to take care of children? Isn't it your job to take care of your children? What is Zhang Gang?! Husband and wife live their lives, no one should blame anyone! Don't learn your mother's trick and deal with my son! ”
Li Xiaocan was speechless, just said a word from Zhang Gang, and was refuted by dozens of sentences on the platform. Just when I was still relieved by the arrival of my mother-in-law, this time, my heart was stuffed again.
A slap doesn't make a sound, is it all my fault Li Xiaocan alone? After all, it's an outsider, a daughter-in-law can never become a daughter, Li Xiaocan figured it out.
At night, the family had to make do in the hospital. On the narrow hospital bed, Li Xiaocan leaned sideways and moved a piece of land to Zhang Gang. Zhang Gang hugged Li Xiaocan: "I smelled the milk smell on your body, the same as the baby's." The two were sad for a while, and Zhang Gang wiped a handful of tears: "I'm sorry for my son." ”
This is the second time Li Xiaocan has seen Zhang Gang crying, and the first time is when Li Xiaocan gave birth to a child. Li Xiaocan patted Zhang Gang's back and comforted him: "We haven't done anything bad, God won't be cruel to us." "When people reach a moment of despair, they can only pin their hopes on the ethereal and indescribable heaven.
On Friday, it's time for visitation. Li Xiaocan was in a wheelchair, and Zhang Gang pushed her step by step towards the children's intensive care unit. In front of it is the inpatient department, and my son lives in that building. Li Xiaocan was nervous, hoping to see his son soon, but he was afraid of getting bad news. The road seems to be quite long, but it's only a few hundred meters.
There are many parents waiting anxiously at the door of the children's intensive care unit. There are several reclining chairs set up in the staircase, and the seats are filled with daily necessities such as toothpaste and basins.
