Six days later, Cheng Yan's fever actually started to subside.
This is a miracle that Dr. Chen has never seen in his more than 20 years of medical practice.
When Song Yan brought the herbal medicine again, Dr. Chen took the initiative to chat with Song Yan about traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine doctors are very careful to keep their prescriptions confidential, so he didn't want to ask Song Yan what prescription he used.
However, when asked indirectly if Song Yan had any experience in treating leukemia, she did not answer directly.
If Cheng Yan continues with the original treatment plan, there is absolutely no hope for her.
Dr. Chen even wanted the hospital to discuss with Song Yan the possibility of using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat leukemia.
Song Yan: "Dr. Chen, Cheng Yan was suffering from acute leukemia complicated by septic shock and organ failure at the time."
In traditional Chinese medicine, it is also called "que syndrome".
I prescribed him an ancient and classic formula, Si Ni Tang with added ginseng.
The formula for Si Ni Tang is: raw aconite, raw ginger, and prepared licorice root.
It is mainly used for patients with deficiency of Yang Qi, spontaneous sweating, paralysis of the limbs, and a weak and almost imperceptible pulse.
I added ginseng to this prescription.
The prescription is common, but the ingredients are hard to find.
I used century-old wild ginseng!
Neither artificially cultivated ginseng nor young wild ginseng has this effect.
You probably couldn't find more than a few of these ginseng plants anywhere in the country.
Therefore, they are almost impossible to find.
Even if we did find it, most people couldn't afford it!
And they might not even sell!
Then boil it with spring water from Songyan.
Dr. Chen's idea is very good; he hopes to find a way to treat critically ill patients.
But it simply can't be promoted.
Song Yan spoke eloquently.
Actually, the spring water is the main factor.
As they left Dr. Chen's office, Li Yuanzhao grasped Song Yan's hand. "How much did you spend on such rare and hard-to-find medicinal herbs?"
Song Yan patted Li Yuanzhao's hand. "The child's illness is more important, why say so much?"
Song Yan said so much not only to extinguish Dr. Chen's idea, but also to extinguish the ideas of others.
Li Yuanzhao: "Such precious medicinal materials cannot be sold cheaply."
No matter how expensive it is, I'm willing to use it for my son's medical treatment.
I know you have money, but I can't let you spend it.
Tell me the price. Even if I can't pay right now, I can pay you back slowly later!
Li Yuanzhao was already prepared to be burdened with debt.
But so what? My son is alive.
"Who would sell this kind of ginseng?!"
"I got this by chance, I didn't spend any money!" Song Yan indeed didn't spend any money.
Cheng Wenkai: "That won't do..."
Song Yan waved his hand, "Ginseng is a good thing, but we can't use too much of it."
I only used a few tablets.
After that, he'll be too weak to tolerate the tonics, so he definitely won't need them much anymore..."
Li Yuanzhao knew that arguing with Song Yan was pointless, but she remembered this favor.
After 10 days of treatment, the doctor said that Cheng Yan was basically out of danger.
Of course, this doesn't mean they are out of danger, because their underlying health conditions still exist.
Song Yan has his own job and cannot stay in J City indefinitely.
Therefore, Li Yuanzhao and her husband decided to transfer their child to Kyoto.
Song Yan contacted them to the most authoritative specialist hospital in Kyoto.
Song Yan returned to work in Kyoto so that he could better treat Cheng Yan.
Li Yuanzhao also took a long leave from her workplace.
After two more months of combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, Cheng Yan's condition stabilized.
However, he still needs a bone marrow transplant to return to a normal life.
Cheng Yan has grown up and become more sensible.
The treatment over the past few months has almost completely depleted their family's savings.
Bone marrow transplantation is another huge expense.
Should the whole family be burdened with huge debts just for him?
Does this mean that my parents and younger brother will have to scrimp and save for him in the future?
Cheng Yan is completely out of danger and no longer needs to stay in the hospital. He will only be hospitalized for treatment.
He and his mother were not a match for bone marrow.
Dad will come next week to do a bone marrow matching test for him.
Li Yuanzhao is happy because her son may be able to face a new life.
Li Yuanzhao: "Son! Don't worry, I believe your dad will be a good match for you!"
"We'll be cured soon and can go home!"
"Mom! I'm not worried."
"I don't want to be treated anymore!" Cheng Yan said.
Li Yuanzhao thought she had misheard, but seeing her son's serious expression, she was sure she hadn't.
"No way, I'll sell everything I own, even my house, to get you treatment!"
Cheng Yan: "Mom, the house has been sold, where will you live?"
Even if we sell the house, the money might not be enough to cover the medical expenses!
Then you'll have to borrow money!
Have I already spent all of my family's savings?
If it weren't for Aunt Li helping our family earn some money, we would have been broke long ago.
Mom, you can't let the whole family go hungry and destitute because of me.
If you treat my illness, my family will not be able to afford meat even once a year.
My younger brother can't buy new clothes either!
You and Dad need to cut back on food and clothing even more!
Mom, I don't want you to suffer so much because of me..."
Cheng Yan was indeed talking about the life they were about to live.
Li Yuanzhao found herself much more vulnerable now, and she would burst into tears no matter what she talked about.
If I had known two months ago that my son could talk to me properly, I probably would have been ecstatic.
Why are you still crying?
