Zhou Qiao stepped forward to look at Danielle and teased her for a while. Seeing that her complexion and mental state were good, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic. I'll check on her after I've settled Mr. de la Torre."
"Ava, you stay with Cathy and Danielle."
As for Elena, she had to follow up to help with infusions and connecting oxygen pipes.
Postoperative oxygen inhalation is a routine operation, which helps accelerate the metabolism of anesthetics and allows patients to better return to normal conditions.
Oxygen is a good thing for people, especially patients. It can increase oxygen content in the lungs, increase blood oxygen saturation, enhance immunity, promote metabolism, promote local oxygen supply to wounds, and promote wound healing.
You can take an appropriate amount of oxygen when you are not sick, let alone when you are sick?
Zhou Qiao transferred Mr. de la Torre to the ward. After settling in, he went downstairs to check on Danielle.
While checking, I asked Cathy about some conditions, opened Danielle's diaper, checked her little butt, and found that it was already red!
Cathy was about to put on a new diaper for little Danielle. As soon as she put it on, "poof~", a pool of yellow thin liquid poured out.
However, the smell of baby's poop is not particularly unpleasant, not as bad as that of adults. Instead, it has a sour taste.
Cathy frowned and said, "This is the ninth time today!"
Zhou Qiao looked at the time and estimated that the testing center was about to close. He quickly asked Ava to take blood and stool samples and send them to the testing center for testing.
Hurrying slowly, I finally sent the sample, but the results didn't come out so quickly.
Zhou Qiao prescribed two boxes of probiotic yeast for little Danielle, which was produced by a French company and was quite effective.
Its main ingredient is freeze-dried Saccharomyces boulardii, and its excipients are fructose, lactose, micronized silica gel and fruit essence.
In Europe, the United States, Africa and other countries and regions, Saccharomyces boulardii has been used as a microecological agent to prevent and treat children's diarrhea, antibiotic-related diarrhea, Clostridium difficile-related diarrhea, travelers' diarrhea, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colon inflammatory bowel syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and diarrhea caused by parasitic infections.
In addition, there are oral rehydration salts, which can prevent dehydration and regulate water and electrolyte disorders and acid-base balance caused by diarrhea.
And a hormone-free cream suitable for infants and young children, Cathy can apply it to Danielle's little bottom every day, which can effectively moisturize it.
I have to say that the medicine prescribed by Zhou Qiao was quite good. The next day, Cathy happily pushed little Danielle over for a follow-up consultation and said that the diarrhea had obviously stopped and her butt was no longer red.
Cathy teaches little Danielle how to speak every day, but it is obvious that little Danielle cannot speak yet.
Zhou Qiao told her that it takes at least four or five months for a baby to learn babbling, and it takes seven or eight months for a baby to say the simple syllables of mom and dad.
Although the test report has not yet come out, Zhou Qiao feels that the possibility of rotavirus infection is relatively small, which reassures Cathy.
The baby's development is not perfect, and the immune system and digestive system are not strong enough. It is normal to have various diseases during the growth process.
Little Danielle also has a yellow card, which is an immunization card.
On the day Cathy was adopted, Zhou Qiao gave her a shot of hepatitis B vaccine. Now it’s time to take the second booster shot and the first shot of DPT, but little Danielle hasn’t recovered yet, so Zhou Qiao suggested waiting.
As for the BCG vaccine to prevent tuberculosis, American babies are not given it.
Others, such as the measles, rubella, mumps triple vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine, polio vaccine, and pneumococcal vaccine, are all required.
…
Mr. de la Torre recovered very well. On the afternoon of the second day after the operation, with the encouragement of Zhou Qiao and accompanied by Mrs. de la Torre, he was "walking like flying" in the corridor of the clinic!
He was in good spirits. When he was tired from walking, he returned to the bedside to drink water and juice to replenish his strength. In the evening of the same day, he recovered from anal exhaust. Zhou Qiao estimated that he would be discharged from the hospital in a day or two.
Seeing that her husband was recovering so well, Mrs. de la Torre was very happy that she and her husband had made the right choice!
Isn’t this cheaper, faster, and more effective than going to UC Medical Center?
They decided that, like the Westin couple, they would vigorously promote the Iris Clinic in the future.
From this order, after deducting various costs, Zhou Qiao estimates that he will make a net profit of more than 28,000 US dollars!
…
Late at night, after Elena left Zhou Qiao's room, Zhou Qiao fell asleep quickly.
When he was sleeping drowsily, he suddenly realized that someone was driving. He quickly opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Elena, haven't you gone back?"
I was still complaining about being tired before, saying that I couldn’t go to work tomorrow.
Elena didn't answer Zhou Qiao, but overwhelmed him with enthusiasm!
Zhou Qiao was helpless. After five minutes, all his sleepiness disappeared.
His body shook slightly, and he was surprised, this was not Elena, it was clearly Ava!
"you……"
"Do not talk!"
Zhou Qiao was completely defeated.
…
"Which one is better, me or my sister?" Ava asked.
Zhou Qiao: "..." How can this be easy to answer? Send me a title!
"It's all good, it's all good!" Zhou Qiao had no choice but to deal with it this way.
"No! You have to choose one, which one is better, me or my sister?"
Zhou Qiao: "..." Oh my god, change the subject quickly.
"What if Elena gets angry? She is very concerned about it."
Ava curled her lips and said, "Isn't it okay if I don't tell her? From now on, we can do it secretly."
She felt proud, hey, you and Qiao were the ones who hid it from me before, now it's my turn and Qiao's turn to hide it from you!
"Well, I will also make an anti-counterfeiting mark in the future so that you can easily identify me."
Zhou Qiao thought to himself, now that it's like this, do I still need to make a distinction? As long as the contact is at a negative distance, I can easily tell the difference!
As for normal times, hehe, just call them little babies.
Uh, no, Zhou Qiao changed his mind. He had to be serious when working. After all, if there are patients around, he can't call him "Baby" in public. Or which one, you still have to distinguish.
Ava thought for a while and then said: "I'll put a small tattoo on my neck. Do you like butterflies or bees?"
"What about Peppa Pig?"
"You are Peppa Pig!"
"Superman? Ultraman?"
"roll!"
Zhou Qiao had nowhere to go, because this was his room.
After all, Ava was worried that her sister would find out, so she gave Zhou Qiao a slap and then quietly slipped away with her clothes in her arms.
When I tiptoed past my sister's room, I stopped deliberately, leaned against the door of the room and listened attentively. I found a slight sound of sleep breathing, and felt relieved.
The next day, Zhou Qiao discovered that Ava had a very beautiful rose tattoo on her neck.
The swan's neck is long and snow-white, and the rose tattoo is alluring.
…
In a community near Iris Clinic, Felipe is slowly lifting a 30-pound dumbbell to exercise.
His weight loss effect is amazing. His weight has dropped from 403 pounds at his peak to 308 pounds, a total loss of 95 pounds (about 43 kilograms).
Of course, this process is also very painful.
After he had gastric sleeve resection surgery, only a fraction of his original large stomach remained. In the past, he could eat thirty burgers and drink seven bottles of Coke in one meal, but now he has to eat one burger in three parts.
At Zhou Qiao's strong suggestion, she quit drinking Coca-Cola and switched to sugar-free black tea.
Moreover, sometimes when eating, if he eats a little too much, the food will get stuck in the small stomach pouch, making him want to vomit from time to time.
"Son, do you regret it?" Taylor, the old mother, asked when she saw her son working so hard.
Felipe shook his head and said, "I don't regret it! Mom, let me go out with you to pick up trash!"
"You're welcome. Even if we don't pick up trash, let's go hiking together and get some exercise." The gray-haired Taylor said with a smile.
Now Felipe eats less and has saved a lot on his living expenses. Taylor feels that if his son can really lose weight and then find a job and be able to make a living, it won't matter whether he picks up garbage or not.
In fact, picking up trash in California is a very hard job. It often requires walking a long way and the harvest is relatively small.
She wouldn't dare to pick up the garbage at other people's doorsteps, especially plastic bottles and cans placed in recycling bins. Sometimes the owner would be very concerned about it and would even threaten her with a gun to tell her to leave quickly.
If she doesn't leave, biubiubiu~, or call the police to arrest her!
She also picked up unwanted bottles thrown on the ground by others in parks or other public places.
The reason why you can pick up bottles and exchange them for money in California is actually because of a bill in California, the California Beverage Container Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (AB 2020).
This bill stipulates that starting in September 1987, Californians can refund money to consumers for recyclable beverage bottles and wine bottles.
Why refund?
This is because when Californians buy beverages, cans, plastic bottles, etc. include a bottle deposit of 5 cents (under 24 ounces) and 10 cents (24 ounces or more).
There will be an increase in 2022, and the price will double, that is, 10 cents and 20 cents.
But you need to redeem it yourself, and not everyone is willing to do this.
If Taylor hadn't been for her son, she wouldn't have gone out of her way to pick up bottles to support her family.
Taylor took his son and planned to go hiking in Bernal Highland Park. They walked slowly and were in a very good mood.
Felipe is like a walking advertisement, giving everyone a lot of surprises!
Many acquaintances I met along the way said hello!
"Hello, Taylor, good morning! Ha, your son is losing weight again!"
"Really?" Taylor was very happy. She liked hearing this kind of thing the most.
"Of course, I'm thinner than last time, obviously!" the aunt said in a very affirmative tone.
The old man next to him said: "The young man is getting more and more handsome!"
"Thank you, thank you. He is no longer a young man, he is a middle-aged man!" Taylor said with emotion.
Time flies and my son is already over forty!
Now, I see the hope of his independence!
"Felipe~, Taylor~, I heard that the surgery you performed at the Iris Clinic was really effective in losing weight?"
Not far away, a neighbor girl waved and called loudly from the balcony.
Felipe and Taylor looked at the sound and were shocked!
Because the person calling the shots was Christie Lavelle.
"Christie, why are you so fat?" Taylor exclaimed in surprise.
I’ll write 5,000 words first, and I’ll update it when I get back in the evening, but I haven’t saved the manuscript...
