After arrangements were made for my mother to be hospitalized, she was exhausted and sweating all over her body, as if she had been soaked in water.
Shu's mother was in the ICU, and because she had the flu, she was not allowed to visit. She could only learn about her condition through the attending doctor. She thought she would be fine if she was admitted to the hospital's ICU. It was just pneumonia caused by the flu, and she would recover soon.
of.
However, the doctor's words soon caused her to fall into a bottomless panic again.
"Your mother's body resistance is very low, and she underwent a tracheotomy operation. Her condition has progressed so rapidly that her entire lungs have turned white. Now she is completely unable to breathe on her own and can only rely on oxygen. Whether she can get better depends on it.
Her personal resistance.”
She could understand every word of these words, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand what they meant. Isn't her mother well? She can go home after she has recovered from the cold and her wounds.
Can it kill my mother?
She doesn't understand or understand.
However, the doctor didn't care whether she understood or not, and continued
: "There is also the issue of cost. The ICU ward costs nearly 20,000 yuan a day. According to your mother's condition, even if she gets better, she will probably stay there for more than 20 days. Your family must prepare at least 500,000 yuan."
The doctor couldn't bear to see her dull look.
"It's best for your family members to discuss whether they should continue to stay in the ICU."
"What do you mean?" Shu Tinglan was even more confused.
"The cost of staying in the ICU is very expensive." The doctor did not say the crueler words later. Based on her mother's current condition, it is very likely that she will lose both her life and money. However, the doctor cannot say it directly and can only let the family members understand.
"No need to discuss, of course we have to stay. Please save my mother..." When she said this, her voice was choked and her eyes were red. My mother's life has been too painful.
She has never had a good life since her father passed away. Living in the hospital for so many years has already worn down her body, so her resistance is so weak. Coupled with her unfilial daughter, it will only make her
She was worried and would accompany her all over the world in the car.
If I hadn't accompanied her on her self-driving trip, and if she had been kept in a mental hospital, wouldn't something like this have happened?
The ward on this floor was special. She was not allowed to stay on this floor except when communicating with the doctor every day. The thick iron doors in the corridor isolated them and other family members.
Shu Tinglan didn't want to go back to the hotel or go anywhere, so she stayed in the corridor outside the iron gate, at least closer to her mother.
This corridor is a symbol of life. Many family members of patients who come to see doctors from other places are reluctant to pay for hotel stays, so they sit in this corridor, and some even sleep directly on the floor.
The nurse came several times to drive her away, but she couldn't drive her away, so she finally let them go.
Shu Tinglan also sat on the floor, leaning against the wall of the corridor, in a trance.
"Girl, do you want to eat?"
An aunt next to her suddenly gave her a cucumber and asked her if she wanted to eat it.
"Thank you." She shook her head and refused to eat. She had not had any water all day and night.
"Eat it, don't think it's dirty, moisten your throat." The aunt insisted and gave her one.
Shu Tinglan had no choice but to take it and bite it in small bites. The cucumber was a little bitter, but it gave her dry mouth a little moisture. The fragrance of the cucumber also made her feel a little better.
"Girl, let me tell you, those who live here are fighting a protracted war, and our family members must take good care of themselves so that we can be their strong backing and accompany them to win this war."
"Yeah." She nodded.
"Do you know how many times my old man has been in?" The aunt is very talkative. Although she looks rough and has severe dark circles under her eyes due to long-term lack of sleep, she is very energetic and gnaws on cucumbers.
