Forty minutes later, the doctor pushed open the door and came out. He was still wearing a white mask on his mouth, and his exposed eyebrows were smudged with embarrassment. Rong Yuchi tightened his lips and did not dare to ask, for fear of getting a bad answer, until his lips were
He bit it himself, and a fishy smell spread between his lips and teeth. Then he asked the doctor in a trembling voice, "My wife... how is she...?!"
The doctor took off his white mask, revealed a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Rong's condition is very bad. The average incubation period of the primary infection of this virus is 6 to 8 days. She has persisted to the limit. The patient
She had been taking medication for immunosuppressant treatment before, but now her immune system has completely collapsed. Her body temperature has reached 41°, accompanied by convulsions, and she has fallen into a period of severe unconsciousness. We just treated her
The patient underwent rescue measures such as physical cooling, anticonvulsants, sedation, dehydration, and reduction of intracranial pressure, which barely saved her breath. The patient can now rely on a ventilator to maintain life, but it can only last for a week at most."
"Only one week?!" Rong Yuchi looked in shock, his nose was filled with sadness, and his voice was stuck in his throat.
"Mr. Rong, I'm really sorry. Our hospital can't do anything... However, Japanese medical experts have recently developed a drug, code-named Acyclovir. It inhibits viral DNA replication by inhibiting the action of DNA polymerase, which in turn leads to the synthesis of viral structural proteins.
is blocked, thereby exerting an antiviral effect. However, this drug is only in the experimental stage and is not yet mature. It is not widely used in clinical practice. Moreover, if used, it will have very toxic side effects on the patient's hematopoietic system and liver, and it can only
Support for 21 days.”
"In other words, if Mrs. Rong uses this drug, she will need to take certain risks. Once something happens during the process, her life will be in danger at any time. Therefore, it is up to you, Mr. Rong, to decide whether to use Acyclovir."
"To put it more simply, without Acyclovir, the patient can survive for about a week. With Acyclovir, there is a half chance that she will die at any time, and the other half may be able to survive for another 21 days. Now medical experts around the world have said
We are studying this issue, but no one can guarantee what will happen after 21 days, and we can only hope for miracles."
Rong Yuchi looked anxious and helpless. He had made countless choices in his life, but it had never been so difficult this time. He was risking her life!
"Mr. Rong, let me reveal some information to you here. It is said that Japanese medical experts have planned to submit this scientific research project to the UNESCO World Institute of Biomedical Technology, so it is unlikely that they will use the first clinical case for a
It's a Chinese person, and Mrs. Rong's current situation makes it impossible to fly to Japan, so Japanese experts can only come to Taiwan. This is really very difficult, so if Mr. Rong has the conditions, he must first go to Japan to fight for it."
The doctor said frankly.
"Okay, thank you doctor." Rong Yuchi choked with sobs.
The doctor shook his head, sighed and said, "The patient will be transferred to the ICU ward soon. Mr. Rong can take a look first, but it shouldn't take too long. We will arrange the follow-up visit time separately."
Rong Yuchi nodded silently, and then followed the doctor into the ICU ward. He looked steadily at the hospital bed, his heart suddenly tightened, and his eyes were stunned. It was hard for him to believe that the man was lying on the hospital bed, with no blood on his face and his body covered with tubes.
, the person whose life is at stake is Tongtong.
A few hours ago, she had been eating and chatting with him and the children, but now she was completely unconscious.
He slowly, slowly approached her, looked at her pale and sick face, took a breath, and was too sad to speak.
Tongtong, if we were in your place, what would you choose?!
◎◎◎
Three days passed in pain, and half of the week was about to pass, but Rong Yuchi still had not made up his mind. He had never been a hesitant person, but this time he was really hesitant. In the past three days,
, he stayed awake, and during the time allowed by the doctor, he stayed in the ward, listening to her weak breathing. Although his heart hurt, he was very at ease, because she was still alive, but if he did something risky,
Choice, her life could end at any time, he didn't dare to gamble, not even a bit.
On this day, with the doctor's permission, Rong Yuchi took Rong Rong and Rong'er to the hospital. Although he didn't want the children to see their mother sick, the two little ones had almost cried out their tears in the past three days.
He couldn't bear it and had no choice but to agree to them.
Entering the ICU ward requires you to put on sterile clothing and shoe covers. Rong'er couldn't put on the shoe covers after wearing them for a long time, and her shoelaces came loose. She wrinkled her face and looked like she was about to cry.
Rong Yuchi hurriedly went to help his daughter, but Rong Rong moved faster than him. Rong Rong bent down and helped his sister tie her shoelaces. While tying, she taught her, "Rong'er, look, you have to tie your shoelaces like this. First,
Tie a knot and then fold it like this."
"My mother used to help me tie my shoelaces..." Ronger said aggrievedly.
"Yeah, but mom is too tired now and wants to sleep, so Rong'er has to learn to take care of herself." Rong Rong comforted her sister.
"Oh." Ronger nodded obediently, and then imitated her brother's example and tied the shoelace of the other foot.
Rong Yuchi looked on, his eyes burning. He suppressed his sour emotions and led the two children into the ward.
"Mom..." Ronger wanted to shout loudly, but she remembered the doctor's uncle's instructions just now, so she had to swallow her voice and screamed over and over again, as thin as a mosquito, "Mom... Mom..."
Unfortunately, You Tong didn't react at all.
Rong'er threw herself into Rong Rong's arms, crying and asking, "Brother, does mom not want us anymore? Otherwise, why doesn't she open her eyes to look at us?!"
"Didn't I just say that because mom is too tired, she needs to rest and is sleeping now." Rong Rong choked and said. In fact, he was as scared as Rong'er, but he couldn't cry. Mom was sick, and he
You should also take good care of your sister.
"But when dad is sleeping, he will wake up as soon as we call him. Why doesn't mom wake up?!" Ronger asked in confusion.
"Because..." Rong Rong couldn't answer, her eyes were red.
"Because mom is a sleeping beauty, and sleeping beauties have to sleep for a long time." Rong Yuchi quickly came to the rescue. He bent down and held the two children tightly in his arms.
Rong'er believed in fairy tales, so she stopped asking, and Rong Rong was half-convinced. Both children's eyes were red from crying, and their eyes were swollen like small walnuts.
Rong Yuchi's eyes were also burning. In the fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty was awakened by the prince's kiss, but in reality, he didn't know what to do with her.
