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 from long ago, and her thoughts are a little confused.
Also, her temper seems to be that of a child, she doesn’t make sense, and keeps crying and crying, and she will cry if she doesn’t agree.”
Cheng Tianyuan seemed to feel something was wrong after being reminded like this by Xue Ling.
"It's better to let Ah Huan come and help check.
Is the nursing home operational?
Don’t you mean it’s 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 be open until at least early next year.
Ah Huan has been very busy recently, so I went to see him. I hope he can arrange 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.
Actually, it’s not that I don’t like the surname ‘Cheng’, it’s just that I’ve gotten used to it since I was little, and I didn’t think too deeply about it.”
"Um."
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 he would listen to the attending doctor for the time being and transfer grandma to the cardiovascular department first, and then check everything else 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 woman's hands and feet were starting to lose strength, so we only found a crutch for her to use.
She has been mentally abnormal for a while, talking randomly and repeating words... these are all symptoms."
Xue Yang whispered: "Grandma used to occasionally say the wrong things and her thoughts were a little confused.
We didn't notice it, nor did we take it seriously, let alone think about the elderly being sick."
Xue Xin shed tears and asked: "Grandma...don't you have a physical examination every year?
Why wasn’t it found out before?”
"I didn't go this year."
Cheng Huanran replied: "I originally arranged a time to go, but unfortunately my grandma caught a cold.
At that time, only my parents and grandparents were there. Later, my mother wanted to make an appointment for grandma to go there, but grandma insisted not to go, saying that nothing happened to her."
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 is a disease that occurs under the influence of many factors.
At present, the specific medical cause is not particularly clear.
But what is certain is that the body system will slowly decline, resulting in essentially irreversible loss of intelligence and reduced social adaptability caused by organic brain damage."
When everyone heard the word "irreversible", everyone's eyes turned red.
The word "Alzheimer's" is actually not unfamiliar to most people.
But once it happens to a relative, I still can't accept it, and subconsciously I hope it can be treated and cured.
"Is there really no effective medicine?"
Wang Xiaoxiao swallowed even more and asked: "Brother, is it really true?"
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."
"That - that -" Cheng Huanchong's eyes were red, "Is it possible that we just see grandma like this... getting worse every day... helpless?
We can’t sit still and wait for death!”
Cheng Huanran sighed softly: "Fortunately, it's 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 traditional Chinese medicine.
However, everyone still needs to be mentally prepared."
Everyone was silent again.
Xue Xin wiped her tears and whispered: "Sooner or later, my grandparents must know about this.
Grandma has to come home sooner or later, and if they don’t know the inside story, they might wrongly blame grandma.”
"Um."
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 shows signs of memory confusion and likes to talk nonsense. These are one of the symptoms.
Next, she may turn around and forget things, or even pretend to be ignorant.
The intelligence will slowly decline, like that of an old child, and some symptoms of mental illness may even appear."
Everyone nodded one after another.
Xue Yang whispered: "Grandma has been clamoring to be discharged from the hospital, and she always said that she wanted to go back to her hometown in Chengjiacun, saying that she had to go back.
She also said this morning that she had a bunch of chickens raised in her hometown and had not taken care of them, so they might be stolen by weasels."
"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 his best to come back in the evening.
Living in a familiar environment and coming into contact with familiar people, the rejection of the elderly will not be too severe."
Xue Yang said distressedly: "Mom and dad have taken care of grandma these two days, which has been tiring both heart and mind.
After learning about grandma's illness, 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.
Go find Xiaoxin quickly, take her and go home directly."
Everyone sighed again.
Cheng Huanran rubbed his brows and said: "Next, we must 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 harder and harder."
"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."
