"How to treat it? It will cost a lot of money..." Aunt Ma said, squeezing her hands.
"I'll lend it to you, and you'll pay it back if you have the money," Hua Zhao said.
"Thank you, thank you!" Mother and daughter thanked each other in a loud voice.
Hua Laoda's eyes also lit up with an astonishing light. His legs are still okay? Can he be like a normal person? Will he no longer be laughed at as a lame person?
Even young children know how uncomfortable it is to be disabled.
Hua Zhao looked at Hua Laowu again and asked Aunt Ma: "What injection did he get? How many injections did he get? When did he find out he was deaf?"
"What kind of acid was it, salicylic acid or something like that? I forgot. I got an injection right then!" Aunt Ma said angrily.
This was something she never wanted to remember in her life. If she didn't want to think about it at all, she really couldn't remember it.
And they didn't have much money at that time, just enough for one injection.
"When the child came back, I noticed something was wrong. He refused to respond when I called him. At first, I thought he was uncomfortable and didn't want to talk to anyone, but later I found out that he couldn't hear." Aunt Ma said.
"Can he be cured?" Ma Qiuping asked hopefully.
If Lao Wu recovers, her father will be in peace even if he is underground, right?
Hua Zhao shook his head regretfully. From what they said, the child carried the deafness gene and became deaf with one injection.
This is because the child's own genetic defect, combined with the drug, causes cochlear hair cell death or nerve damage.
This damage cannot be repaired.
Moreover, this is a genetic disease. Ma Qiuping definitely carries the deafness gene and passed it on to several children.
"These children will have to make decisions in the future. They cannot take gentamicin, neomycin, streptomycin, salicylic acid, diuretic acid, etc., otherwise they will also cause deafness," Hua Zhao said.
There were too many medicines, so she didn't say much. Aunt Ma and Ma Qiuping were dumbfounded by just these few.
I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do.
Aunt Ma suddenly felt lucky that her family was poor. The children had been sick many times since childhood and had no money to get injections, otherwise they would all be deaf...
Fortunately, this deafness gene is passed from female to male.
If a mother gives birth to a boy, the boy will carry the deafness gene, and the injection will cause deafness. However, if the woman gives birth to a child without the deafness gene, the genetic defect will end there.
If the mother gives birth to a girl, the genetic defect will continue to be passed down, and all children born to girls will carry the deafness gene.
A terrible genetic flaw.
Decades later, after a newborn is born, genetic screening can be done to determine whether he or she carries the deafness gene.
But now, the doctor himself doesn’t know what the gene is.
These words cannot be said to mother and daughter.
Ma Qiuping has a problem, which means Aunt Ma also has a problem.
Having said that, the two of them would die of guilt.
"You two can't take these injections either. I'll tell you one by one when the time comes, so you can take note of it," Hua Zhao said.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with my family?" Aunt Ma suddenly asked.
Although Hua Zhao didn't explain it, she actually guessed it.
People don't know what genes are yet, but they have known about "heredity" and "heredity" since ancient times.
"There's nothing wrong with it, just to be on the safe side." Hua Zhao changed the topic: "Although Xiao Lao Wu's ears can't be cured, there is no problem with his vocal cords. With some special training in the future, he can still speak like a normal person, and then he can learn to speak like a normal person.
With lip reading, life won't be a big problem."
"He can still talk?" Aunt Ma and Ma Qiuping were pleasantly surprised again.
Hua Zhao really brought them too many surprises today.
