Chapter 274 Discharged from the Hospital
"You worry about your child, and we worry about our own child too."
Lin's mother pulled Lin Shanshan into her arms and comforted her, "Sweetie, if you don't want to sleep, just lean on Mommy and rest for a while. Aye and your dad will be watching over you."
Lin Shanshan was under a lot of stress and couldn't sleep at all, but she didn't refuse her mother's kindness.
Nestled in her mother's warm embrace, Lin Shanshan instantly felt a sense of security.
Gu Yiye and Lin's father sat beside the baby, their eyes fixed on the little seedling, not daring to close their eyes all night.
As a doctor, I rationally understand that this is not a big deal. As long as the mouth and nose are not blocked by foreign objects during the convulsion, saliva does not flow back into the trachea and cause choking, and breathing remains unobstructed, there is no problem.
Lin Shanshan handled this very well after calming down.
As a patient's family member, even a doctor would be very worried. The little one's face was flushed red with fever; perhaps he was feeling unwell, as he let out two weak "humming" sounds, accompanied by slight tremors in his body.
How could I not feel heartache and worry?!
Finally, dawn broke. After a good night's sleep, and thanks to the medicine being her first time taking it, the little seedling's face was no longer red and her fever had subsided.
Lin's father checked his throat and found that there was still some inflammation, but it shouldn't recur.
Lin Shanshan had milk powder, spiritual spring water, and baby bottles in her space. She pretended to take them out of the bag, then boiled water in her father's office, mixed the milk, and fed the little one.
Little Hemiao usually eats two meals a night, but she was hungry all night yesterday. When she saw milk, her eyes lit up immediately.
The little hands gripped the milk bottle and started eating with a "glug glug glug" sound.
After finishing drinking, he gave the empty bottle to his mother and started babbling in baby talk!
"The baby can eat now, he's better, and he doesn't need to take bitter medicine anymore."
Gu Yiye took the little boy from Shanshan's arms and said, "I called Grandpa and asked for a few days off. Adding that to the last time, I've made up 20 days of annual leave."
Gu Yiye was worried about his wife. There was a nanny at home to take care of the baby, but no one was specifically there to take care of Lin Shanshan.
Lin's mother went to the cafeteria and bought steamed buns and mantou. The four of them ate a simple meal.
Seeing that his grandson was eating happily and his fever had subsided, Mr. Lin went straight to work.
After everyone finished breakfast, it was time for the hospital to officially open. The doctor from yesterday came to check on them, took their temperatures, and examined their throats. Just as Lin's father had diagnosed, there was only a slight inflammation, and they could be discharged and take medication on their own.
Lin's mother arranged for a temporary leave of absence with a colleague and went back with her daughter and son-in-law to take care of her grandson.
When they got home, Ren Guochang was holding their second child, Xiao Putao, waiting at the door: "Aye, Shanshan, is Xiao Hemiao alright?"
Upon seeing Lin's mother, he greeted her again, "Our in-laws are here, come in quickly."
Little He Miao spent the night in the hospital and missed her brother and sister. When she saw Little Grape in Ren Guochang's arms, she waved her chubby white hands and greeted them with "Ya ya wa wa".
"Second Brother, Little Rice Seedling is back!"
Even the aloof Little Grape was worried about her younger brother. Upon seeing Little Seedling, she surprisingly smiled.
The two little ones hugged each other.
Seeing the lively little boy, Ren Guochang knew that he was almost fully recovered.
The second child's fever has completely subsided, while the eldest and youngest sister still have low-grade fevers and have just fallen asleep after taking their medicine.
Of the quadruplets, the second child is in the best physical condition, while the third child eats a lot and doesn't like to move around, so he is actually a little weaker.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm last night, and the fever didn't develop into a serious illness.
Uncle San drove to the military base, and Gu Yiye told Lin Shanshan and Lin's mother to go and rest first.
"Mom, Shanshan, you two get some sleep first. I'll keep an eye on things. I'm healthy. I've gone two or three days without sleep before when I was on a mission, so I'm used to it."
Lin Shanshan didn't stand on ceremony with her husband, and said while yawning, "Okay, then I'll sleep with Mom for a while and skip lunch. We'll sleep until we naturally wake up and then eat."
Gu Yiye nodded with a pained expression: "Okay."
Lin's mother hadn't slept all night, and given her age, she really couldn't stay awake any longer.
She found a guest room to sleep in. Before falling asleep, Lin's mother thought that she could retire in another month. Then she could come and help her daughter take care of the children.
The eldest brother's son is being cared for by Wenyu's mother. Lin's mother gives him money every month.
It's not about favoritism; it's true that Shi Shanshan has four children, and Wen Yu's mother doesn't work, and her grandchildren are grown up and don't need her to take care of them.
Wenyu's mother helped take care of the child, and Lin's mother gave her money, which made her very happy.
In the 1970s, it was usually the grandmothers who took care of the children, so this money definitely had to be given.
Of course, Shanshan wouldn't give Lin's mother any money for taking care of the baby, feeling it was too distant. Later, when Baixue came to visit her grandson and learned that Lin's mother had helped take care of the baby, she bought many gifts for her in-laws.
When people treat each other with courtesy and empathy, relationships can last and remain stable!
