Chapter 351 Xiao Yuanyuan is sick
As soon as the tractor entered the village, Gao Mingcheng ran into Gao Zhuang head-on.
Gao Zhuang was riding a bicycle, and his wife He Xiuman was sitting on the back holding the child.
"Hey, where are you going?" Gao Mingcheng asked loudly. He thought Gao Zhuang was taking his wife and children out to play.
"Brother Mingcheng!" When Gao Zhuang saw him, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his anxious face.
He quickly put his foot down on the ground and said quickly, "Yuanyuan is vomiting and having diarrhea. I'm worried that something's happened to her. I want to send her to the hospital."
Gao Mingcheng leaned over to look at the child in He Xiuman's arms, only to see that the child looked pale and not well, so he immediately said, "Gao Zhuang, I'll take you to the county to see a doctor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many beauties had already gotten out of the truck.
Then the Yu family got off the car.
A tractor is naturally faster than a bicycle. Besides, Gao Zhuang seldom goes to the county and is not familiar with the situation of the hospital, so it would be better for Gao Mingcheng to take them there.
Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman immediately sat in the truck.
Gao Zhuang said to Zhang Chengyuan: "Please push my bicycle back."
"Okay." Zhang Chengyuan responded and helped Gao Zhuang push the bicycle to his home.
"Duomei, you go back and rest first." Gao Mingcheng looked at Duomei and let her go home alone.
Xuan Mei was in good condition and said in a relaxed manner, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
She stood there, watching the tractor go away, then slowly walked towards Niuweiling.
In the truck bed, Xiao Yuanyuan suddenly vomited again. She was still drinking milk, so what she vomited out were naturally some undigested milk curds.
As soon as I finished vomiting, I heard a popping sound, and then a foul smell spread out.
Xiao Yuanyuan is vomiting and having diarrhea again!
He Xiuman's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she was busy cleaning the child.
There are no diapers at the moment, but when they went out, they took a bag of diapers with them, which is enough for the time being.
It was just the vomit that made the car dirty. Gao Zhuang said embarrassedly, "Brother Mingcheng, I'm sorry."
Gao Mingcheng looked back and said comfortingly, "Don't say sorry. Just sit tight. I'm going to speed up."
After saying that, Gao Mingcheng headed towards the county town as fast as he could.
He was very familiar with the county town, so he drove directly to the People's Hospital. After parking the car, Gao Mingcheng said, "I'll go register for you first."
Gao Zhuang got off the car carrying the child, while He Xiuman took a bag of clean diapers. As for the dirty diapers, they could only leave them in the truck bed and wash them when they got back.
But at that time they didn't know that Xiao Yuanyuan had acute gastroenteritis and her condition was very serious and she had to be hospitalized.
Upon learning this, Gao Zhuang panicked again.
Gao Mingcheng comforted them: "Don't be afraid, just listen to the doctor."
He ran around, helping to complete the hospitalization procedures, and then brought Gao Zhuang and others to the ward.
After arriving at the ward, the nurse began to give Xiao Yuanyuan an infusion. However, Xiao Yuanyuan was too small, and the blood vessels on the back of her hand were too thin, so the needle could not be inserted at all. So the nurse observed Xiao Yuanyuan's feet and head, and finally chose the blood vessels on the head for the infusion.
He Xiuman had never seen such a scene before. She saw the nurse shaving Xiao Yuanyuan's forehead hair with a razor, then disinfecting it with alcohol and preparing to give her an injection. She felt dizzy, her legs went weak, and she almost fainted.
How painful it would be if such a thick needle hits the head!
Xiao Yuanyuan also began to cry and struggle, but she was now vomiting and having diarrhea, and her physical condition was very bad. She had to be treated with intravenous drip as soon as possible. Gao Mingcheng saw that Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman were both stunned, so he had to hold Xiao Yuanyuan himself and control her from moving so that the nurse could give her the injection.
Fortunately, the nurse had good skills and the injury was cured with just one injection.
When giving injections to babies, because their blood vessels are very thin, sometimes several injections may not be successful. In that case, the baby will suffer.
"You need to hang three bottles of water. Call me when there's no more." After the nurse finished the treatment, she gave instructions and went outside to do her work.
The doctor said that Xiao Yuanyuan should stay in the hospital for three days for this illness. We will see how she recovers after three days.
Even after starting intravenous drip, Xiao Yuanyuan still had diarrhea from time to time, and each time it wasn't much, just some feces.
It’s just that the diaper is dirty and I have to change it.
Mr. and Mrs. Gao Zhuang were busy taking care of the child, and the bag of clean diapers had become visibly smaller.
So Gao Zhuang asked He Xiuman to look after the child while he took the dirty diaper to the sink to wash it.
Gao Mingcheng thought about it and felt that it would be impossible to do it in a short time, so he said: "Xiu Man, I will go home and get you some more diapers. You must take good care of this saline bottle. Once the saline is almost gone, you must call the nurse to change the medicine, understand?"
Gao Mingcheng pointed at the bottle of saline hanging on the shelf and gave instructions to He Xiuman.
He Xiuman looked at the bottle nervously, then nodded to indicate that she understood.
So Gao Mingcheng left the hospital and returned to the clothing store.
Xuanmei had bought cotton cloth in advance to make clothes for the child, and also made a lot of diapers. Now he decided to use those diapers for Xiao Yuanyuan first.
Nowadays, due to material scarcity, people often make diapers for their children from old clothes, and the fabric is not soft enough.
But Gao Mingcheng knew that the skin of a newborn baby was delicate and he did not want to mistreat his son, so he specially ordered many beautiful clothes to be made of new cotton cloth.
Fold a long piece of cotton cloth into several layers, then place it under the child's crotch and secure it around the waist with an elastic band.
As the weather is hot now, you can just let your child wear a bellyband and a diaper underneath.
In addition to diapers, Gao Mingcheng also 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. Please cook more meals tonight. I will deliver them meals."
"Oh, I understand." Gao Shufang responded and watched her second brother leave in a hurry.
"Sister Luo Li, there are not enough vegetables at home. You take care of the store. I'll go outside to see if there are any more vegetables to buy!" Gao Shufang said, and left in a hurry.
Gao Mingcheng and his friends came suddenly, and there were simply not that many dishes at home.
Because there is no refrigerator at this time, and the weather is getting hot, if you buy too many vegetables, they will not be able to be stored.
Now there are three more people eating, so there definitely won’t be enough food at home.
Gao Shufang hurried to buy groceries, and Gao Mingcheng also hurried to the hospital. It was the first time for Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman to go to the hospital, and he was afraid that they would encounter problems that they would not be able to handle.
When he returned to the ward, the bottle of saline solution had not yet been finished.
But Xiao Yuanyuan was crying. He Xiuman held her in her arms and tried to comfort her, but it didn't work. So both the child and the adults cried together.
This ward was not a single room. There were other patients and their families living in it. Some of them were more tolerant of the child's crying, while others cursed at him in a bad tone.
He Xiuman didn't care about all that. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
This scene made Gao Mingcheng feel a little sad, but he could neither share the child's pain nor coax him, so he could only go and find the nurse to inquire about the situation.
The nurse was knowledgeable and said calmly, "This medicine is a bit irritating. It's normal for the child to feel pain. Adult, don't cry with me. Don't think it's not noisy enough! Take the child outside for a walk and make him happy."
He Xiuman was completely unable to think independently and blindly believed what the doctors and nurses said, so she picked up her child and walked out.
Gao Mingcheng was so panicked when he saw this scene that he immediately stopped him: "Slow down, and you have to take the saline bottle with you!"
The child has an injection in his forehead. If he keeps moving, the needle will definitely loosen and he will have to get another injection.
He Xiuman had no experience with saline drip and was so scared that she stood there not daring to move, watching Gao Mingcheng reach out for the saline bottle and hold it above his head.
"Let's go for a walk outside and come back to change the medicine when the saline solution is gone." Gao Mingcheng said, and then asked where Gao Zhuang had gone.
I learned that Gao Zhuang was still washing diapers at the sink.
It turned out that they came in a hurry and were not prepared for hospitalization, so they did not bring soap. So Gao Zhuang asked people along the way and went to a nearby store to buy soap before he could wash the diapers.
In this case, Gao Mingcheng suggested going to the sink to find Gao Zhuang, so that he wouldn't find out that He Xiuman was not in the ward after washing the diapers.
Xiao Yuanyuan was still crying, but after He Xiuman held her and walked around, she seemed to be comforted and didn't cry as hard.
Soon, they arrived at the pool. Many people were crowded there using water, and the ground was wet.
Gao Mingcheng was worried that He Xiuman would slip and fall, so he stopped moving forward.
He could already see Gao Zhuang from a distance. Gao Zhuang was wringing out the diaper, and it seemed that it had been washed.
Gao Zhuang turned around with the things in his hand and saw Gao Mingcheng and the others standing there, so he hurried over.
Before he could speak, Gao Mingcheng said, "I brought some new diapers for Xiao Yuanyuan, and some clean clothes for you. It's hot this time, and it's not good for the children if you smell bad."
Gao Zhuang felt warm in his heart and thanked him sincerely: "Brother Mingcheng, thank you."
"You're welcome! You don't have to worry about dinner. I asked Shufang to cook more rice. I'll go back and get it for you later. Gao Zhuang, there are limited beds in the hospital. How about, Xiuman stays in the hospital with the children tonight, and you come back with me to sleep?" Gao Mingcheng said.
Xiao Yuanyuan is only a few months old, is still breastfeeding, and is very attached to her mother, so He Xiuman has to stay with her in the hospital.
But what was unexpected was that Gao Zhuang rejected Gao Mingcheng's proposal after hesitating for a few seconds. He said, "No, I'd better stay in the hospital. I can sleep on the floor at night."
When He Xiuman heard what he said, the uneasiness in her eyes disappeared instantly.
It was her first time in the county, and she was terrified from the bottom of her heart if she and her child were left in the hospital ward.
Because there was a man in the bed next to them, she felt uneasy at the thought of having to stay in the same room with these strange men and feed Xiao Yuanyuan.
Gao Zhuang’s decision instantly made He Xiuman no longer afraid.
