Chapter 372
Twenty minutes later, a young nurse came in with an IV and called out, "Who is Su Miao?"
Hearing the voice, Su Miao quickly raised his hand and gestured, "I am here."
The nurse came over and skillfully hung the bottle on the pole. Then she carefully checked the information again. After confirming that it was correct, she prepared to give Su Miao an injection in his left hand.
The nurse first picked up the rubber tourniquet, gently wrapped it around Su Miao's wrist, and tied it tightly with a little force.
Then she held Su Miao's hand and looked at it, frowned slightly and said, "Your blood vessels are quite thick and thin."
After saying that, she patted the back of Su Miao's hand with her slightly cool hand. Su Miao felt the blood vessels on the back of her hand swelled a little, and a little worry arose in her heart, wondering if the nurse could successfully inject the needle on the first try.
The nurse picked up a cotton swab, dipped it in yellow iodine, and gently wiped it on the back of her hand. The disinfected area emitted a faint medicinal smell.
Then he picked up the adjusted needle and inserted it into Su Miao's blood vessel. In just a moment, some bright red blood came out from one end of the tube.
The nurse loosened the tourniquet and secured the needle with tape, then said with a smile, "You're not afraid of injections at all? You can actually watch them."
Su Miao nodded and said, "My blood vessels are difficult to inject. I've been getting IV drips all the time since I was a kid, and I'm used to it. Sister, your injection technique is really good. It worked the first time."
The nurse's smile widened as she adjusted the drip rate and chuckled, "Of course! I took first place in the department competition."
After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on the medicine placed beside Su Miao, and she earnestly reminded him, "This ointment is antiviral. Apply it thinly three times a day. Remember, don't eat fish or shrimp until you are well, and don't eat chili or soy sauce either.
When chickenpox breaks out, it looks like water inside, but it is actually full of viruses. If you scratch it, it will stick to where it grows and leave scars.
If you feel it is too itchy, use this lotion to rub it. You need to shake it well before use. If you can bear the itch, you don’t need to rub it. "
The nurse pointed to the bottle of calamine lotion. Because it had been stored for a long time, the lotion had separated into layers, and the bottom was a light milky pink.
"Yeah! I understand. Thank you, nurse." Su Miao responded obediently.
After sitting for a while, I saw Su Yuan hurried over with two thermal boxes.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said with concern on his face, "Are you hungry? Come and eat. This is for Miaomiao, and this is for Ah Hui. Miaomiao's hand is not convenient for injections, so Daddy will feed you."
Su Miao quickly said, "No need to feed him. Hitting his left hand won't prevent his right hand from eating."
Su Yuanzheng turned around and borrowed a high stool, and put out Su Miao's meal so that she could eat more conveniently.
The big insulated box contained stir-fried meat slices with cucumber, lean meat stewed with tofu, rice, and chicken soup.
All the fat has been removed from the chicken soup. This light and clear bowl exudes a sweet and fresh aroma that warms your body just by looking at it.
This dish is obviously freshly cooked, and it completely fits the light diet the doctor just mentioned.
"Dad, have you eaten?" Su Miao asked.
"I have it. This is the dish cooked by your brother Yu. I ate it in the store while he was cooking."
Su Hui opened the lunch box in her hand. The dishes were basically the same as Su Miao's, but there was an extra braised chicken leg.
She was startled and said doubtfully, "Uncle, this is Miaomiao's, I took the wrong one."
"This is yours. Miaomiao can't eat anything with soy sauce now. It will cause scars. Wait until you recover before eating it." Su Yuanzheng explained.
When Su Miao heard the word "scarring", she lost all desire to eat and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Sister Hui, I won't eat. I'm not greedy at all."
Fortunately, although Su Miao was sick, his appetite did not decrease at all, and his mouth did not become tasteless like other people's. He still enjoyed his meals with gusto.
After finishing his meal, Su Yuanzheng carefully peeled an orange for his daughter to eat.
She had only taken half of the bottle of medicine when she felt her body temperature seemed to have dropped. Although her muscles were still sore, she was no longer as confused as she was when she had a high fever, and her mind was much clearer.
At this time, another person came in from the infusion room, and Su Miao took a subconscious look.
Hmm! Zhang Yan?
Although Zhang Yan wore a cotton mask, she was still wearing the same clothes she wore to school today, so Su Miao could tell at a glance.
Zhang Yan also saw Su Miao and thought that she seemed to have taken a leave this afternoon, so she walked over to say hello. Standing three meters away from her, she asked, "Su Miao, are you sick too?"
Su Miao nodded and said, "I have chickenpox, so I took a leave this afternoon. You are not feeling well either."
Zhang Yan was stunned and said, "I also have chickenpox. I found out when I got home from school, so I came to the hospital to get some medicine. Are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah, much better than before. Do you have a fever? My temperature was 39 degrees before I got the injection. I felt like smoke was coming out of my head."
"My temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius, and my symptoms are similar to yours."
Su Miao saw that she had been standing far away, perhaps because she was afraid of infecting others, so she said: "Since we all have chickenpox, come and sit. This is my dad, and this is my cousin. They have both had chickenpox, so they are not afraid of being infected."
Zhang Yan nodded, walked over and sat down opposite Su Miao, and said politely, "Hello, uncle, hello, sister."
Su Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Hello, hello, you are Miaomiao's classmate, right? Come, eat some oranges. The doctor said that eating more fruits will help you recover faster."
Zhang Yan was stunned. Looking at the whole peeled orange stuffed into her hand, she said softly, "Thank you, uncle."
She broke off a small piece of orange and put it in her mouth. A sweet taste spread across her taste buds. It was very sweet.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something important, she stood up anxiously: "Su Miao! We both have chickenpox. Does this mean that the disease has spread throughout the school? I have to report this to the teacher right away!"
As she was about to go out, the nurse called Zhang Yan to come over for a skin test.
Su Yuanzheng stood up and said, "You go get your skin tested. I'm going to call your teacher and ask for leave for both of you. The doctor said chickenpox requires at least two weeks of staying home. Looks like you'll have to start your winter break early."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you uncle. The teacher and I will pick up the final exam paper, and Su Miao can do it at home."
After a while, Su Yuanzheng came back and said, "I've asked your class teacher for leave. She said she'll report this situation tonight. You just need to rest assured."
The head teacher originally added a sentence at the end, asking the children not to slack off at home and to review seriously.
However, Su Yuanzheng felt that his daughter did not need any supervision, and this classmate seemed to be ambitious, so he did not say it.
He thought that since the child was sick, he shouldn't pursue him so closely.
