Chapter 410 A Little Life on the Line
The Jiang family had been waiting at the door of the delivery room for a long time. The moment they heard that it was a boy, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces. They were happier than when little Li Zi was born.
It is actually difficult for a 2-year-old child to distinguish adults' expressions. When she heard that it was her younger brother, she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
Because my brother was very light, less than the size of a palm, and his platelet count was very low, his chances of survival were very slim.
The Jiang family has plenty of money and resources. The hospital they work in is the best private hospital in Beijing, and it has some of the best experts.
However, the Jiang family was still worried about the child. They knew about the child's condition, but they didn't realize that Jiang Huaixu hadn't come out yet, and Chi Feiwan hadn't come out of the delivery room yet.
Giving birth to this child had exhausted all of Chi Feiwan's physical strength. Her eyelids were almost unable to support her eyes and there was a pool of blood underneath. The doctor was still treating the vaginal tear, which was even more serious than the last time.
After the anesthesia, Chi Feiwan fell into a deep sleep. Jiang Huaixu looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart full of heartache and worry. He gently stroked her hair, then turned and left the delivery room, heading to where the child was. There, he was also needed as a guardian to accompany and make decisions.
The seven-month-old extremely premature baby is in extremely fragile condition.
Low platelets put them at greater risk, and simply placing them in an incubator is not enough.
Pediatric doctors were busy comparing various data and conducting a comprehensive assessment of the baby.
Due to premature birth, the baby's cry was very weak, as if it could die out at any time.
From the moment he was born, his tiny body was filled with various medical instruments, and these cold devices became the support of his life.
What is even more worrying is that his breathing is extremely difficult and his lung function has not yet fully developed, so he can only rely on a machine to maintain his breathing.
Every breath is like a fight with fate, which is heartbreaking.
Jiang Huaixu looked at the child with a heavy heart, and everyone in the Jiang family was worried.
At this time, the doctor came over and said seriously: "The child's condition is very dangerous. We need to observe closely. He may need special care and treatment. You must be mentally prepared."
Jiang Huaixu nodded firmly and said he would fully cooperate.
Obviously the mother's condition was just as critical, but these people focused all their attention on the child. Only little Lizi cried and looked for her mother, drawing everyone's attention back.
Jiang Huaixu was the first to come over to comfort Xiao Lizi. Although Jiang Huaixu could not be considered a very good father, he had never lost his temper with Xiao Lizi.
He held Little Lizi in his arms. Little Lizi's crying gradually became quieter. She held the doll in her hand and asked in a crying voice, "Dad, where is Mommy?"
Jiang Huaixu stroked his head gently: "Your mother hasn't come out yet. She will be out soon. Don't cry, little pear."
Xiao Lizi rubbed her swollen eyes uncomfortably. Jiang Huaixu noticed and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"Dad, I want to sleep." It is three o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Lizi has never slept so late.
Jiang Huaixu picked her up and patted her back gently: "Go to sleep."
Xiao Lizi gradually fell asleep in Jiang Huaixu's arms. Jiang Huaixu gently placed her on a chair beside him and covered her with a coat.
His gaze once again turned towards the delivery room and the direction of the child. In the delivery room, the doctors were still nervously dealing with the follow-up situation for Chi Feiwan.
Her face was as pale as paper, and she lay quietly on the delivery bed, like a fragile porcelain doll.
The effect of the anesthetic gradually wore off, and Chi Feiwan's brows furrowed slightly, as if he felt physical discomfort even in his sleep.
In the neonatal intensive care unit, the baby's tiny body looked so helpless in the incubator.
The data on the instrument kept jumping, and the doctors and nurses were always paying attention to every subtle change.
Jiang Huaixu stood in front of the incubator, staring at the child without blinking, silently praying that he would be able to survive this ordeal. Time passed by, and the light of dawn gradually spread across the hospital corridor.
Family members paced back and forth between the delivery room door and the neonatal intensive care unit, and anxiety filled the air.
Chi Fei has been sleeping late for five days, but the child's platelet count has not returned to normal levels.
Premature newborns are often accompanied by many diseases.
The child not only has low platelets, but also has problems with other organs.
Jiang Huaixu was guarding here and had signed many forms, both for the mother and the child.
On the morning of the fifth day, Chi Feiwan slowly opened her eyes, and her brain started working. She felt sore and numb all over.
For five days, there were only the nurse and the sleeping Xiao Lizi in the ward. There was no sign of the child. Chi Feiwan began to panic. She asked weakly, "How is the child?"
The nurse next to her quickly comforted her: "The baby is in the incubator, and the doctors are doing their best to take care of him. Don't worry, just have a good rest first."
Chi Feiwan nodded slightly, but tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Neither of her two children were born healthy. They were born with all kinds of instruments inserted into their bodies. Chi Feiwan was reluctant to go because she was afraid that her emotions would collapse in an instant.
Xiao Lizi was still sleeping in bed with her hair loose. No one combed her hair. The clothes she was wearing were also from five days ago. No one changed her clothes.
Even Xiao Lizi's face was dirty.
Chi Feiwan sat up with the help of the nurse: "Can I go see the baby?"
"If you can get out of bed and don't feel the pain down there, you can go, but even if you go, you can only watch from outside the glass. The newborn's condition is very bad."
Chi Feiwan nodded, and a crystal clear tear fell on the white quilt, spreading out.
On the other hand, no one from the Jiang family except Jiang Huaixu and Jiang Zhiyu went to see Chi Feiwan from beginning to end.
Just then, the doctor came out of the neonatal intensive care unit and the Jiang family immediately surrounded him.
The doctor said solemnly: "The child's condition is temporarily stable, but his platelets are still very low and his breathing is difficult. We will continue to work hard on his treatment.
However, the next 24 hours are critical and we need to monitor closely."
The Jiang family's hearts were in their throats again.
This is not the first day, and they have never held the child.
