Chapter 762 Good News and Bad News

The doctors at the Children's Hospital are much more cautious in what they say than the doctors at Gulou Hospital.

In the early morning of that day, when Comrade Xu and others sent Wei Chunlan to the emergency department of Gulou Hospital, the female doctor in the emergency department dared to say that she could definitely help them save the child.

It was an understatement, but the tone was very loud.

Dare to guarantee.

But the doctors at the Children's Hospital, no matter what Mr. Xu asked, they were very cautious and unwilling to say anything.

Tongdao Xu asked how long it would take for his daughter to be discharged from the hospital.

The doctor at the Children's Hospital said: "It's hard to say, it depends on the specific situation."

Tongdao Xu asked him if his daughter could be cured? How sure are you?

The doctor here also said: "It's hard to say, it's really hard to say!"

No guarantees are made at all.

But the fees were very scary. The deposit of 10,000 yuan that Xu Tongdao paid in advance was spent in less than three days here.

You know, this is 2003!

The RMB has not depreciated significantly yet!

Soon, it came to Tuesday, the time for family members to visit the children.

Comrade Xu went to line up to pick up his daughter. After holding him in the corridor for about half an hour, the nurse took the child away.

After the visit, you have to see the doctor.

It was the same female resident doctor last time. Xu Tongdao met her today and without saying a few words, the female doctor told him good news.

——"Mr. Xu, let me tell you some good news. Didn't we say that your daughter's left calf is a little outward? It's quite strange. When we observed her in the past two days, we found that her left calf seemed to be swollen again.

No more leaving it outside."

Before the surprised Comrade Xu could answer, she suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Xu, I remember that before your daughter was born, your lover was pregnant with twins, right?"

"Yes! What's wrong?"

Female doctor: "Oh, that's right. We here suspect that your daughter's left calf was a bit outward before. It was squeezed by another baby in the mother's belly. Now it is no longer squeezed, and it has gradually returned to normal."

Xu Tongdao: "???"

He had heard before that his daughter's left calf was a bit outward, so he was mentally prepared for his daughter to be born with a slight deformity of the left leg, but today he suddenly heard the news.

He was naturally surprised and inexplicable.

Who doesn’t want their child to have sound limbs and no disabilities?

Unfortunately, after the female doctor told him the good news, she gave him bad news.

"However, your daughter's colitis is not optimistic at the moment. It has been a few days since she was born and she has not had a bowel movement. We have decided to observe her for another week. If she still cannot pass stool by herself by then, we will suggest

Operate on her."

Tongdao Xu was shocked when he heard this and frowned, "Operation? Operate on her at such a young age? How to do it?"

The female doctor hesitated, carefully paying attention to his expression, and said softly: "That's it, just use surgery to help her take out her stool..."

Xu Tongdao immediately pictured the scene of surgery in his mind, and his face immediately changed, "No! The child is so young, I don't agree with the operation, you use medicine! Just use whatever medicine should be used, and try not to have surgery anyway! The child is too young

It’s too small.”

The female doctor sighed, "Yes, the child is still too young. During our doctor's consultation, the gastroenterologist also recommended temporary conservative treatment and no surgery unless it was a last resort. I just wanted to make you mentally prepared in advance.

"

Tongdao Xu frowned, "Then give conservative treatment! Think of more ways, it's best not to need surgery!"



Another week later.

Tuesday.

Tongdao Xu came to visit his daughter again, this time his mother-in-law Hong Li came with him.

When her daughter was brought to them, Hong Li was shocked. When the child was born, she did not see it. Although she had already heard from Tongdao Xu that the child weighed only two pounds and four ounces when he was born, she still did not expect it.

A child weighing two pounds and four ounces would be so small.

Then, her eyes turned red.

I was so distressed that I hugged my child and didn't want to let go.

Tongdao Xu felt very uncomfortable when he saw the indwelling needle on the back of his daughter's hand, the wristband on her ankle, and the bruises caused by the wristband.

About half an hour later.

He met the female resident doctor again.

During this meeting, the female doctor gave him another good news, "Mr. Xu, I have some good news for you. Your daughter finally had a bowel movement on her own two days ago, which means her colitis is no longer a serious problem.

, give her some medicine, and the colitis will be cured."

Tongdao Xu looked at her just like that.

Because he was speechless.

He felt like this woman was playing with him.

The evidence was all readily available. Last time, he said that his daughter's left calf was a bit splayed out, and she suspected a congenital deformity. However, within two days, she told him that his daughter's calf was no longer splayed out and was normal.

When he came to visit last week, she told him personally that his daughter's colitis was very serious and might require surgery, which frightened him so much that he felt as if a stone had been weighed on his heart for the past week.

What's the result?

What did she just say?

My daughter’s stool passed on her own? Is the colitis okay?

He knew that he should be happy to hear such good news.

However, after worrying about him for a week and suspecting that he was being played, he was really speechless at this time.

Not only that, this female doctor seems to have a routine.

After telling him the good news, she told him the bad news.

Said: "However, Mr. Xu, your daughter's current direct bilirubin is still very high, so high that it exceeds the measurement limit of our instrument. We recommend that you find a third-party agency to do a genetic screening for your daughter to see if she is

There is something wrong with genes..."

Tongdao Xu didn't know what direct bilirubin was before, so what could he say?

She said she wanted to do genetic screening, so just do it!

Just this one inspection costs 5,000!

After the examination was completed, he learned that the results of the genetic screening would not be available until three months later.



Another Tuesday.

Tongdao Xu came here again and asked about his daughter's current weight. His daughter had been hospitalized here for more than three weeks. Logically speaking, she should have gained a lot of weight.

Because he had heard before that children grow very fast in the first three months after they are born.

What's the result?

It took more than three weeks for his daughter to get an increase of 4 taels.

On average, it only goes up by one or two a week.

In addition to weight, the direct bilirubin that he is most worried about is still unable to measure the specific value. It is still high and exceeds the upper limit of measurement by the instruments here.

The problem of direct bilirubin has not yet been resolved. The attending physician who met him this time also raised another issue - cytomegalovirus infection.

Tongdao Xu had never heard of cytomegalovirus before.

The attending physician introduced to him that cytomegalovirus is present in many of us, but our adults’ immunity can fight against this virus, so this virus has little impact on us adults.

However, the newborn's immune system has not yet been established and cannot resist the virus.

She suspected that the virus was transmitted from mother to child, and suggested that Comrade Xu go back and get some of the child's mother's breast milk for testing to see if the child's mother's breast milk contained cytomegalovirus. If so, wait until the child is discharged from the hospital.

You can't take breast milk.
