Nan Jianlong has been lying in the ICU without waking up. Cai Juying and others can only see him through the glass window.
Wang Gang later said hello and went home.
Xia Junshan sent Zhao Na back, while Nan Li, Cai Juying and Tian Yulan stayed in the hospital waiting for Nan Jianlong to wake up.
But Nan Jianlong never woke up, and Nan Li and Tian Yulan had to go to work again, so they had to leave first.
Cai Juying waited in the hospital for a day and a night. When her body couldn't bear it anymore, Tian Yulan sent her home to rest.
Because of Nan Jianlong's matter, Nan Li and Tian Yulan rarely got together alone to discuss the matter of the stay-at-home hospital.
Because people are lying in the ICU and things may change at any time, the doctor requires that a family member must stay at the hospital.
Cai Juying is old and cannot keep watch every day and night, so we can only discuss the schedule.
As Nan Jianlong's biological daughter, Nan Li also has the responsibility to take care of him, so she has no objection to the schedule. However, she is usually very busy at work. If she still has to take care of the hospital, the two children can only be handed over to Xia Junshan and Zhao Na.
Zhao Na felt sorry for her daughter and could not let her ignore her father and could only take on the responsibility of taking care of Xia Huanhuan and Xia Chaochao.
Xia Junshan's working hours are flexible and he can also take care of his children. However, the training school has no time to take care of it, so he can only leave it to Zhong Yi.
Wang Gang is also busy with work at his family's factory. Now that the online experience center has reached a critical moment, he can't be distracted.
He only took Yan Ziyou to the hospital to visit Nan Jianlong once, and comforted Cai Juying and Tian Yulan, but never went there again.
After all, no one can blame him for the divorce.
Nan Jianlong only woke up on the seventh day. After receiving the notice, Wang rushed to the hospital after get off work.
Standing at the door of the ICU, through the glass window, Wang Gang noticed that Nan Jianlong was surrounded by a large number of doctors and nurses.
"Isn't he awake?" Wang Gang asked Tian Yulan in confusion.
"The doctor said that Uncle Nan's condition has not changed. Although he woke up, his breathing was blocked and he needed to undergo a tube-cutting operation and be put on a ventilator." Tian Yulan said, hugging Cai Juying who had been crying.
Wang Gang frowned, and at this time Xia Junshan and Nan Li also rushed over. After understanding the situation, they became anxious.
"Dad, will everything be okay?" Nan Li leaned on Xia Junshan helplessly.
"It'll be okay, aren't the doctors doing their best to save her?" Xia Junshan hugged his wife and comforted her.
Wang Gang knew that once put on a ventilator, it means that the patient's condition is very critical, and after being put on a ventilator, the patient must stay in a sterile environment like ICU. Even so, the patient is still prone to lung infection.
Soon the doctor finished his work and came out and said to Cai Juying: "The patient's condition has stabilized and he is conscious, but his brain damage is more serious than we expected."
Cai Juying asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Lao Nan?"
The doctor said: "The patient has completely lost control of his body and relies on equipment to maintain his breathing. He will have to stay in a sterile environment for a long time in the future."
Cai Juying couldn't accept it for a while, so she cried and was speechless.
Wang Gang asked on her behalf: "Does this mean that patients must stay in the ICU from now on?"
The doctor nodded and said: "Yes, once the patient leaves the sterile environment, he will be infected immediately, but he cannot stay in the ICU forever. I suggest you take the patient to a rehabilitation hospital."
"Rehabilitation hospital?" Nan Li asked in confusion: "Is there any difference?"
The doctor hesitated to speak and did not answer Nan Li.
"Doctor, can we see the patient?" Wang Gang asked.
"The patient is still unstable and cannot see too many people."
Cai Juying said: "Can I go in alone?"
"Okay, you can do disinfection first and change into disinfectant clothes before going in."
Nan Li actually wanted to go into the ICU to see her father, but in the end she didn't insist.
After Cai Juying entered the ICU with all her equipment, she walked directly to Nan Jianlong's bedside.
At this time, Nan Jianlong was lying weakly on the hospital bed, with his eyes half-open and half-closed. He seemed to be conscious, but with a tube in his throat, he couldn't say anything.
"Lao Nan, do you have something to tell me?" Cai Juying walked to Nan Jianlong and asked.
Nan Jianlong blinked his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, as if he had something to say to Cai Juying.
Cai Juying put her ear to Nan Jianlong's mouth and listened carefully to what he said.
"die……"
Cai Juying barely heard the word "death" and was so frightened that she quickly straightened up.
Nan Jianlong's eyes revealed endless sadness, and a tear fell down his face.
"You want to die!?" Cai Juying's lips trembled with fear.
Nan Jianlong blinked again.
Cai Juying was now sure that Nan Jianlong really didn't want to live anymore. Rather than being unable to move in the hospital bed and lingering on his last breath, it was better to walk in peace.
"I can't make the decision on this kind of thing!" Cai Juying said in a panic.
Nan Jianlong's eyes showed prayer, but he could neither move nor speak, and his breathing was laborious, so he really couldn't express his thoughts.
"Nan Li is outside, I'll discuss it with her, okay!" Cai Juying said softly.
Nan Jianlong blinked again.
Cai Juying walked out of the ICU in confusion, and Nan Li and Tian Yulan surrounded her.
"How is my dad?"
"What's wrong with Uncle Nan?"
Cai Juying looked at Nan Li with some embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.
Tian Yulan understands her mother after all, she seems to realize something!
"Mom, is Uncle Nan awake?"
Cai Juying nodded and said: "Your Uncle Nan is awake, but he can't move and can't speak very well. He only barely said one word to me."
"What word?" Nan Li asked hurriedly.
Cai Juying did not dare to look at Nan Li and whispered: "It's just the word death."
Nan Li was struck by lightning and couldn't believe it!
"Uncle Nan really wants to die!" Tian Yulan sighed.
Wang Gang on the side also understood that it was impossible for Nan Jianlong to recover from his current condition. Instead of being paralyzed in bed and unable to control himself, it was better to leave with dignity. This was the wish of many paralyzed patients.
"Impossible, my father cherishes his life so much, how could he want to die? You lied to me!" Nan Li shouted excitedly.
"I'm not lying to you, Lao Nan really only said this one word to me." Cai Juying cried: "If you don't believe it, go in and ask him yourself."
"Hmph! I will definitely go in."
Just when Nan Li wanted to contact the doctor, she received a notice that Nan Jianlong was in coma again and was not allowed to enter the ICU again.
A nurse came over, took out a stack of receipts, and said to Cai Juying: "Family members, please pay the fees first."
"Why are you paying again? Didn't I just pay the surgery fee?" Cai Juying took the receipt and asked in confusion.
"Some of the expenses for patients staying in the ICU are not covered by medical insurance, and the cost of being put on a ventilator is also calculated separately, which is 1,800 yuan a day." The nurse said coldly.
"What! So expensive!" Cai Juying said in surprise.
Tian Yulan snatched the receipt from Cai Juying's hand, looked through it and frowned: "Why is the ventilator so expensive?"
The nurse explained: "The ventilator is imported equipment and is not covered by medical insurance. Moreover, the patient cannot live without the ventilator and will need to use it every day in the future."
Tian Yulan's hands shook, and she felt that the documents in her hands were not made of paper, but simply made of money.
A ventilator costs 1,800 yuan a day, which is more than 50,000 yuan a month. This does not include other medical expenses.
Where can I afford to live in this ICU?
Wang Gangda thought it was normal. He had already inquired about it. For a situation like Nan Jianlong's, the cost of physical therapy in the future would not be low. It would cost at least hundreds of thousands a year.
Unfortunately, this kind of disease can be delayed, and usually people will not die immediately. As long as they are willing to spend money on rescue, it is common for the disease to be delayed for two years.
Because many people cannot bear the high cost, they choose to give up rescuing and drag the person home to die.
Originally, it would be more cost-effective to exchange one or two million for two years of life if I could run and jump.
It is a pity that Nan Jianlong is now unable to move or speak. From now on, he will be accompanied by endless sequelae of infection, plus bed sores caused by long-term bed rest.
In this case, it is not surprising that Nan Jianlong wants to die.
"How about we just obey Uncle Nan's wishes and die." Tian Yulan looked at Cai Juying and said.
Cai Juying struggled a little, looked at Tian Yulan, and then at Nan Jianlong behind the glass, and couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
"No, I must save my dad." Nan Li suddenly shouted: "Even if I have to sell my house to raise money, I will save my dad."
Tian Yulan said: "It's not that I don't want to save Uncle Nan. The doctor also said that the damage to brain cells is irreversible. Uncle Nan's condition will not get better, but will only get worse. Rather than letting him lie there and suffer, it is better to make an early decision."
Nan Li cursed crazily: "You fart, she is not your father, of course you said it easily, I ask you, if it were your mother lying in there, would you save her or not?"
Tian Yulan was speechless after being scolded, and in the end she could only look at Cai Juying.
"Mom, please tell me something! Will Uncle Nan save me or not?"
