As soon as the tractor entered the village, Gao Mingcheng met Gao Zhuang head-on.
Gao Zhuang was riding a bicycle, while his wife He Xiuman sat behind with her child in her arms.
"Hey, where are we going?" Gao Mingcheng asked loudly. He thought Gao Zhuang was taking his wife and children to play outside.
"Brother Mingcheng!" When Gao Zhuang saw him, joy suddenly appeared on his anxious face.
He quickly put down his feet and stepped on the ground, and said quickly: "Yuanyuan is vomiting and having diarrhea. I am worried that something will happen to her and want to send her to the hospital."
Gao Mingcheng looked over to see the child in He Xiuman's arms, only to see that the child was pale and not looking well, so he immediately said: "Gao Zhuang, I will send you to the county for medical treatment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many beauties got out of the carriage.
Then Duoyu and his family also got out of the car.
The speed of a tractor is naturally faster than that of a bicycle. Moreover, Gao Zhuang rarely goes to the county, and he doesn't know the situation of the hospital, so it is better for Gao Mingcheng to take them there.
Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman immediately sat in the carriage.
Gao Zhuang said to Zhang Chengyuan: "Please push my bicycle back."
"Okay." Zhang Chengyuan responded and helped Gao Zhuang push the bicycle to his house.
"Duomei, you go back and rest first." Gao Mingcheng looked at Duomei and asked her to go home alone.
Duo Mei was in good condition and said with a relaxed expression: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
She stood there and watched the tractor go away, then slowly walked towards Niuweiling.
On the bed of the car, Xiao Yuanyuan suddenly vomited again. She was still drinking milk, and what she vomited out was naturally some undigested milk.
Just after vomiting, I heard a popping sound, and then a smell filled the air.
Little Yuanyuan was vomiting and having diarrhea again!
He Xiuman's eyes were red with anxiety as she hurriedly cleaned up the child.
There were no diapers at the moment, but when they went out, they picked up a bag of diapers, which was enough to change them for the time being.
It was just the vomit that stained the car. Gao Zhuang said embarrassedly: "Brother Mingcheng, I'm sorry."
Gao Mingcheng looked back and said with relief: "Don't say sorry, sit tight, I'm going to speed up."
After saying that, Gao Mingcheng headed towards the county seat as quickly as possible.
He was very familiar with the county. He drove directly to the People's Hospital. After parking the car, Gao Mingcheng said, "I'll register you first."
Gao Zhuang got out of the car with the child in his arms, while He Xiuman held a bag of clean diapers. As for the dirty diapers, they could only put them in the bed of the car first and then wash them when they got back.
But they didn't know at this time that Xiao Yuanyuan was suffering from acute gastroenteritis. The situation was very serious and she had to be hospitalized.
Knowing this, Gao Zhuang panicked again.
Gao Mingcheng comforted: "Don't be afraid, just listen to the doctor."
He ran back and forth to help complete the hospitalization procedures, and then led Gao Zhuang and the others to the ward.
After arriving in the ward, the nurse began to infuse Xiao Yuanyuan, but Xiao Yuanyuan was too small, and the blood vessels on the back of her hands were too thin, so the injection could not be inserted at all. So the nurse looked at Xiao Yuanyuan's feet and head, and finally chose to inject it on the head. blood vessels for infusion.
He Xiuman had never seen this scene before. She saw the nurse using a razor to shave off the hair on the round forehead, and then disinfecting it with alcohol before getting ready for the injection. She felt dizzy, her feet went weak, and she almost fainted.
How painful it would be to hit such a thick needle on the head!
Xiao Yuanyuan also started to cry and struggle, but she was now having vomiting and diarrhea, and her physical condition was very bad. She needed infusion treatment as soon as possible. Gao Mingcheng saw that Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman were both dumbfounded, so he had to hold Xiao Yuanyuan by himself. Yuanyuan, control little Yuanyuan and don’t move around so that the nurse can give the injection.
Fortunately, the nurse's technique was good and she was able to get it done with just one injection.
When giving injections to babies, because the blood vessels are very thin, sometimes several injections may fail. In that case, the baby suffers.
"We need to hang up three bottles of water. If there is no water, call me." After the nurse took care of it, she explained and went outside to get busy.
Due to Xiao Yuanyuan's illness, the doctor said she would stay in the hospital for three days for the time being and then wait for three days to see how she recovers.
Even though the infusion had started, Xiao Yuanyuan still had diarrhea from time to time, and every time there wasn't much, just some feces.
It’s just that the diaper is dirty and I have to change it.
The couple Gao Zhuang was busy taking care of the child, and the bag of clean diapers had become visibly reduced.
So Gao Zhuang asked He Xiuman to look at the child while he took the dirty diaper to the sink to clean it.
Gao Mingcheng thought for a while and felt that he couldn't do it for a while, so he said: "Xiu Man, I will go home and get you some more diapers. You must watch the salt water bottle carefully. Once the salt water in it is almost gone, You have to call the nurse to change the dressing, you know?"
Gao Mingcheng pointed to the salt water bottle hanging on the shelf and warned He Xiuman.
He Xiuman looked at the bottle nervously, then nodded, indicating that he understood.
So Gao Mingcheng left the hospital and returned to the clothing store.
Previously, Duomei bought cotton fabrics in advance to make clothes for his children, and also made a lot of diapers. Now he decided to use those diapers for Xiao Yuanyuan first.
People nowadays, due to the lack of supplies, often make diapers for their children from old clothes, and the fabric is not soft enough.
But Gao Mingcheng knew that the skin of newborns was delicate, and he didn't want to treat his son badly, so he specially ordered many beautiful things to be cut from new cotton cloth.
A long piece of cotton cloth, folded in several layers, can then be placed under the child's crotch and secured with a rubber band around the waist.
If the weather is hot now, you can just put a bellyband on your child and put a diaper underneath.
In addition to getting diapers, Gao Mingcheng took two new sets of clothes from the store, one for men and one for women, and said to Gao Shufang: "Shufang, Gao Zhuang's daughter is sick and is now in the hospital. Do you have a good night?" Cook some rice and I will deliver it to them."
"Hey, I understand." Gao Shufang responded, watching her second brother leave in a hurry.
"Sister Luo Li, the food at home is not enough. You look at the store, and I will go outside to see if there is any food to buy!" Gao Shufang said and left in a hurry.
Gao Mingcheng and the others arrived suddenly, and there weren't that many dishes at home.
Because there is no refrigerator now, and the weather is getting hotter. If you buy too many vegetables, you won’t be able to store them.
Now there are three more people eating, and the food at home will definitely not be enough.
Gao Shufang hurriedly went to buy groceries, and Gao Mingcheng also hurriedly went to the hospital. Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman were both going to the hospital for the first time, and he was afraid that they would not be able to handle things they encountered.
When he returned to the ward, the bottle of saline had not been finished yet.
But Little Yuanyuan was crying. He Xiuman held her in her arms and coaxed her, but she couldn't be coaxed, so the child and the adults cried together.
This ward is not a single ward. There are other patients and family members living there. Some of them are more tolerant of the child's crying, while others are abusive and abusive.
How could He Xiuman care so much? Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
This scene made Gao Mingcheng a little sad, but he could neither share the child's pain nor comfort the child, so he could only go to the nurse to ask about the situation.
The nurse was well-informed and said calmly: "This potion is a bit irritating, and it is normal for the child to feel pain. Adult, please stop crying, it's not noisy enough! You can take the child for a walk outside and make the child happy. .”
He Xiuman could no longer think independently and blindly listened to the doctors and nurses, so she held the child and walked out.
Gao Mingcheng was so flustered when he saw this scene that he immediately stopped him: "Slow down, you have to bring a salt water bottle with you!"
There is still an injection on the child's forehead for infusion. If it keeps going out, the injection will definitely come loose, and another injection will be necessary.
He Xiuman had no experience with salt water and was so frightened that he stood still and did not dare to move. He watched Gao Mingcheng reach for the salt water bottle and keep it above his head.
"Let's go outside and wait for the salt water to run out before coming in to change the dressing." Gao Mingcheng said, and then asked where Gao Zhuang had gone.
I learned that Gao Zhuang was still washing diapers in the sink.
It turned out that they arrived in a hurry and were not prepared to be hospitalized, so they did not bring soap. So Gao Zhuang asked people all the way to a nearby store to buy soap before washing the diapers.
In this case, Gao Mingcheng suggested to go to the sink to find Gao Zhuang. After washing the diaper, he found that He Xiuman was not in the ward.
Xiao Yuanyuan was still crying, but after He Xiuman carried her around, she seemed to be comforted and didn't cry so hard anymore.
Soon, they arrived at the pool. Many people were crowded there to drink water, and the ground was even wet.
Gao Mingcheng was worried that He Xiuman would slip and fall, so he stopped moving forward.
He had already seen Gao Zhuang from a distance. Gao Zhuang was wringing out his diaper, which seemed to have been washed.
Gao Zhuang turned around with the things in hand and saw Gao Mingcheng and the others standing there, so he quickly walked over.
Gao Mingcheng didn't wait for him to speak, and already said: "I brought some new diapers for Xiao Yuanyuan and a change of clothes for you. The weather is hot and smelly, which is not good for children."
Gao Zhuang felt warm in his heart and sincerely thanked him: "Brother Mingcheng, thank you."
"You're welcome! Don't worry about dinner. I asked Shufang to cook some more rice. I'll go back and bring it to you later. Gao Zhuang, the hospital beds are limited. Otherwise, Xiuman will stay with the child in the hospital tonight. Do you want to go back to sleep with me?" Gao Mingcheng said.
Little Yuanyuan is only a few months old, still nursing, and the most attached to her mother, so He Xiuman has to stay with her in the hospital.
But what he didn't expect was that after hesitating for a few seconds, Gao Zhuang rejected Gao Mingcheng's proposal. He said, "No, I'll stay in the hospital. I can sleep on the ground at night."
After hearing what he said, the uneasiness in He Xiuman's eyes disappeared instantly.
It was her first time in the county, and she was afraid from the bottom of her heart if she and her child were left in the hospital ward.
Because there was a man in the hospital bed next to them. The thought of staying in the same room with these strange men and having to breastfeed Xiao Yuanyuan made her feel uneasy from the bottom of her heart.
Gao Zhuang's decision made He Xiuman no longer afraid in an instant.
