After a while, Cheng Tianyuan came back, his face still looking very ugly.
Xue Ling held his hand, comforted him a few times, and raised his suspicions.
"Mom seems to be acting weird. She suddenly keeps talking about things that happened a long time ago, and her thoughts are a little confused. Also, her temper seems to be like that of a child. She doesn't make sense. She keeps crying and crying. If she doesn't agree, she will cry."
Cheng Tianyuan seemed to feel something was wrong after being reminded like this by Xue Ling.
"Let's ask Ah Huan to help check. Is the sanatorium operational? Isn't it said that it is almost completed?"
The construction of the nursing home jointly run by brothers Xue Heng and Xue Huan has been under construction for more than a year, and the project is currently at the end of the process.
Xue Ling shook his head: "It's just that the building complex has just been built, and other equipment and staff are still being planned and recruited. It won't open until at least early next year. Ah Huan has been very busy recently, so I went to see him. I hope he can
Please arrange a time as soon as possible.”
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the old man sleeping on the hospital bed and saw that her eyes were red, and he let out a long sigh unconsciously.
His old mother, even if she was unreasonable and she beat and scolded him, it would be hard for him to get really angry with her.
Mother and son are connected by blood and bones, and there can be no overnight feud.
Xue Yang stood up nervously and hesitated: "Dad, I'm sorry... what I said earlier seemed a bit excessive. In fact, it's not that I don't like the surname 'Cheng', it's just that I'm used to it, and I didn't think deeply about it."
.”
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan's eyes softened and he whispered: "No need to apologize, I don't think you did or said anything wrong."
Xue Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
After a while, Cheng Huanran came back.
"I have already discussed it with Uncle Huan, and he said that he should come over immediately to make arrangements. He said that he would listen to the attending doctor for the time being and transfer grandma to the cardiovascular department first, and then check the rest one by one."
Everyone quickly answered.
…
Two days later, Liu Ying's condition was diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease after careful diagnosis by several authoritative doctors.
After the news came, the entire Xinyuan was shrouded in a sad and sad haze.
Cheng Huanran sighed and explained: "Grandma said more than half a year ago that she couldn't control her hands and feet, but we all thought it was because the old man's hands and feet were starting to lose strength, so we only found a crutch for her to use. She was mentally abnormal for a while.
, talking randomly, talking repeatedly...these are all symptoms."
Xue Yang whispered: "Grandma would occasionally say the wrong thing before, and her thoughts were a little confused. We didn't notice it, nor did we take it to heart, let alone think about the old man's illness."
Xue Xin shed tears and choked up and asked: "Grandma...don't you have a physical examination every year? Why wasn't it detected before?"
"I didn't go this year." Cheng Huanran replied: "I originally arranged a time to go, but unfortunately grandma caught a cold. At that time, only my parents and grandparents went. Later, my mother wanted to make an appointment for grandma to go there, but grandma insisted not to go, saying that she
Nothing happened at all."
Chen Xinzhi on the side patted her shoulder and whispered: "Even if it is diagnosed, there is no specific medicine to treat this disease."
Cheng Huanran nodded in agreement and spread his professional knowledge to everyone.
"Alzheimer's disease, the scientific name of Alzheimer's disease, is a progressive degenerative disease of the nervous system. This disease occurs under the influence of a variety of factors. Current medical
The specific cause is not particularly clear. But what is certain is that the body system will slowly decline, resulting in essentially irreversible intellectual loss and reduced social adaptability caused by organic brain damage."
When everyone heard the word "irreversible", everyone's eyes turned red.
The term "Alzheimer's disease" is actually not unfamiliar to most people. However, once it happens to a relative, they still cannot accept it and subconsciously hope that it can be treated and cured.
"Is there really no special medicine?" Wang Xiaoxiao choked and asked in a low voice: "Brother, is there really no medicine?"
Cheng Huanran shook his head: "This disease may be related to family history, gender, infection, age and other factors. Currently, there are no specific drugs that can completely cure this disease."
"Then - that -" Cheng Huanchong's eyes were red, "Is it possible that we just see grandma like this... getting worse every day... and helpless? We can't just sit back and wait for death!"
Cheng Huanran sighed softly: "Fortunately, it is early now, and some symptoms can be treated accordingly. In addition, Uncle Huan said that it can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and Chinese medicine. However, everyone still has to be mentally prepared."
Everyone was silent again.
Xue Xin wiped her tears and whispered: "Sooner or later, grandpa and grandma must know about this. Grandma must come home sooner or later. If they don't know the inside story, they may wrongly blame grandma."
"Yeah." Cheng Huanran explained: "My parents said the same thing. This is not something that happens in a day or two, but a big problem that our whole family will have to shoulder together, so we must be mentally prepared one by one. Grandma has the memory.
Signs of confusion and a tendency to talk nonsense are one of the symptoms. Then she may turn around and forget things, or even pretend to be careless. Her intelligence will gradually decline, just like an old child, and she may even develop some symptoms of mental illness.
"
Everyone nodded one after another.
Xue Yang whispered: "Grandma has been clamoring to be discharged from the hospital, and she always said that she would go back to her hometown in Chengjia Village, saying that she had to go back. She also said this morning that there was a group of chickens raised in her hometown that were not taken care of, and they might be stolen by weasels.
Let’s go.”
"When can I be discharged from the hospital?" Chen Xinzhi asked.
Cheng Huanran replied: "Grandma will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and Uncle Huan is already formulating a specific treatment plan. Grandma has been making noises about going back to her hometown today. Dad has negotiated with the doctor and will try to come back in the evening. We live in a familiar environment and have no contact with each other.
He is a familiar person, so the old man’s rejection will not be too serious.”
Xue Yang said distressedly: "Mom and dad have been taking care of grandma for the past two days, and they have worked hard and tired. After learning about the disease, they seemed to have aged a lot. The two of them always sighed and secretly felt sorry for grandma."
Cheng Huanchong curled his lips and whispered: "I... after hearing the news, I couldn't eat at all. I quickly went to find Xiaoxin, took her and went home directly."
Everyone sighed again.
Cheng Huanran rubbed his brows and said: "Next, we have to work hard to cooperate with our parents to take good care of grandma. Remember, everyone must be patient, because this battle will definitely be a protracted one, and the situation will probably only get worse.
Disaster."
"knew."
"I will definitely cooperate with my parents!"
Chen Xinzhi thought for a while and suggested: "The family should consider adding one or two more caregivers to ensure that the elderly are not left alone 24 hours a day to avoid injuries from bumps and bumps in the future."
