"Yueyue, how do you plan to treat her?" Uncle Xu asked on the way back.
"Although Uncle Jianmin's leg bone was broken, it has been set and there is no problem with the bone. It is just that the nerves are damaged, which has caused paralysis of his lower body. If acupuncture is used to repair the damaged nerves, his leg may very well regain sensation."
Li Xiyue continued, "Acupuncture is the main treatment, with medication as a supplement, but the oral medication should be replaced with medicated baths."
"Should we switch from oral medication to medicated baths?"
“That’s right. Uncle Jianmin has been bedridden for many years and has been depressed, which has led to disharmony in his spleen and stomach. People with poor spleen and stomach function will also have a much lower absorption rate of medicine. In addition, he is also very resistant to medicine, which is even more detrimental to his treatment,” Li Xiyue explained.
Uncle Xu thought she was right. "I have seen records of medicinal baths in medical books, so it should be feasible."
“The skin can breathe, and medicine is absorbed through the skin faster than through the stomach and intestines, and it won’t harm the spleen and stomach,” Li Xiyue continued. “Acupuncture combined with medicinal baths is a treatment for the body, but the most important thing is to make him feel good so that the effect can be twice as good with half the effort.”
“Girl, you’ve hit the nail on the head.” Uncle Xu stroked his beard. “Jianmin’s biggest problem is his heart. Once his heart is healed, his legs will naturally get better.”
Li Xiyue nodded. "Most paralyzed patients have varying degrees of muscle atrophy, but Uncle Jianmin doesn't have this problem. He has been in bed for so many years without bedsores, which proves that he has been well taken care of."
She has seen many paralyzed patients in bed, and all of them have bedsores. Day after day, taking care of people who cannot take care of themselves is something that family members can't bear for long, so they naturally become less meticulous and diligent.
Uncle Xu said, "What do you think Xiangyang is doing, hanging around my place every day? I taught him to massage his uncle's legs every day, turn him over in time, and change his clothes... But actually, all of this is thanks to that girl. When Xiangyang comes to my house during the day, it's Xiulan who takes care of Jianmin."
"Sister Xiulan is really good to Uncle Jianmin. No other woman can do what she does. Uncle Jianmin is lucky in this misfortune."
Uncle Xu nodded and said with a smile, "Yueyue, I'm afraid you'll have to put in a lot of trouble."
"As doctors, we're not afraid of putting in a lot of effort. As long as the patient is willing to cooperate, what's a little extra work?"
Uncle Xu agreed, "You're right."
Back home, Li Xiyue and Uncle Xu discussed and prescribed a suitable medicine for Xu Jianmin. She also told him about having Erniu and Lai Di collect herbs.
The child came to deliver the medicine; it couldn't be kept secret from Uncle Xu. He had to know about it.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Xu praised, "You are not only intelligent but also kind-hearted. You are a rare good child."
She has a clear sense of right and wrong, and is ruthless towards evil people, but she is also compassionate and kind to the weak. She is a person of great principle.
"Grandpa, please don't praise me. I'm just doing my little bit. Those children are really too pitiful."
Uncle Xu sighed and said, "Yes, our place is poor. It's already difficult enough to have enough to eat. There are still many people who don't even have enough to eat."
"So Grandpa agrees with me doing this?" Li Xiyue asked with a smile.
Uncle Xu looked at her with doting eyes, "You're doing good deeds, how could I not approve? Yueyue, go ahead and do it without worry."
If anyone tries to cause trouble, he will stand up for her.
In the afternoon, Uncle Xu went up the mountain to collect herbs, and Li Xiyue stayed behind to look after the house.
She first prepared the medicine for Xu Jianmin and sent it over, then gave him some instructions on precautions before going back to process the medicinal materials. Xu Guoqing was still nowhere to be found.
Little Bai was fast asleep at Li Xiyue's feet; everything was so peaceful and serene.
Just before finishing work, Su Guixiang rushed in carrying a child, urgently shouting, "Li Zhiqing, please save my Tietou!"
Two or three men and women followed behind her, all looking anxious.
Li Xiyue stood up and asked, "Aunt Guixiang, what's wrong with Tietou?"
Tie Tou is Su Guixiang's grandson, and he is only three years old.
Su Guixiang said, "The day before yesterday, Tietou accidentally fell into the river while playing by the river. Although he was unharmed, he has been having nightmares every night, and today he suddenly developed a fever, and his face is turning purple..."
Seeing that the child's face was purple, his whole body was convulsing, and his eyes were rolling back, Li Xiyue hurriedly picked up the child, saying, "It's a febrile seizure."
She carried the child to the examination room and performed first aid.
