sleepless tonight

Chapter 19 Infusion
"Well, Dad, go quickly and leave me alone." Chen Ke nodded and went downstairs with her schoolbag on her back.

I put clothes on Chen Le, wrapped them tightly, stepped out, turned around and went back to the house, made a cup of milk powder, put some more milk powder in a plastic strap, and then went out.

At the gate of the community, I hailed a taxi.

"Master, go to the First City Hospital." I said directly to the master.

"A hospital?" The driver looked at me sideways, "30 yuan."

"Can't you play the watch?" I frowned.

The distance from the residential area to the city's No. 15 hospital is only 13 yuan by taxi. This is still a detour. If you take a shortcut, you can get there for [-] yuan.

As soon as the driver opened his mouth, he doubled.

There was a surge of anger in my heart, and I wished I could hit the driver's face with two fists. He clearly saw me hugging Chen Le, and was in a hurry to go to the hospital and asked for a lot of money.

"It's okay to use the meter, but I have to take a detour. Business is not easy, so I have to bring more customers along the way. If you are not in a hurry, just turn on the meter and see you." The driver said indifferently.

I touched Chen Le's face in my arms, it was hot.

"Okay, thirty is thirty, let's go." I said.

"That's right, what is money compared to my daughter?" The driver responded and finally set off.

When I arrived at the hospital, before I could register, a young female medical director in the hall came over on her own initiative. It seemed that she had just left school not long ago.

"The child has become like this, why come to the hospital now?" The female doctor took a look at Chen Le in my arms, "Follow me."

A warm current surged in my heart, and my chaotic heart suddenly stabilized a lot.

Before entering the hospital, I was still worried about how to go through the procedure, afraid of delaying Chen Le's condition, but I didn't expect someone to come over on my own initiative.

The female doctor took me to the queue and called an emergency number. I couldn't stop apologizing to the people in the queue, and then followed the female doctor to the second floor.

"You wait here, you will be next." The female doctor gave me the number, pointed to a department and said, "Don't worry, think about the child's symptoms, and tell the doctor when he goes in."

"Thank you, thank you." I sincerely thank her, her help saved me a lot of time.

I have always thought that it is good for the doctors and nurses in the hospital not to put on a bad face, and it is rare to be able to offer help. I did not expect to meet such an enthusiastic medical director.

After waiting for two or three minutes, I saw that it was my turn on the monitor outside, and I couldn't wait to push open the door.

"Don't panic, don't worry, it's okay." Seeing my anxious look, the doctor comforted me, and looked at Chen Le's condition, "You go for a few checks first, the child has a severe fever, put your hands on it and scald it It’s amazing, you can judge better after checking.”

I nodded, went into the hospital and naturally listened to the doctor, took the list and card given by the doctor and went for the examination.

Half an hour later, I handed the checklist to the doctor: "How is it, doctor, is there any problem with the child?"

"It's not a big problem, but the fever is a bit severe. Taking medicine may not be effective. Let's have a three-day injection to see." The doctor flipped through the list, looked up and said to me, "In this weather, children are prone to colds, so we must Notice."

I was relieved to hear that there was no major problem, and carried Chen Le to the infusion room on the first floor.

"Excuse me, can I breastfeed my baby during the infusion?" I asked the nurse, but kept staring at the medicine bottle in the nurse's cart, for fear that the nurse might take the wrong medicine.

In the infusion room, not only Chen Le and I, but also 30 people, more than half of them brought their children to see a doctor.

"If the child can drink it, feed it a little," the nurse said.

The nurse's technique was quite skillful, and it was successful once, but when the needle stuck on the back of Chen Le's hand, my flesh couldn't help but hurt, but Chen Le just deflated his mouth.

"Da da..." Chen Le sobbed and called me.

It must be in pain, but Chen Le is sick and has no strength to cry out, so he can only make these movements.

"Hold the child's hand and don't let her shake it, or the needle will be easily crooked." The nurse told me, pushed the cart away, and continued to infuse other people.

I carefully held Chen Le's hand, staring at the needles on the back of her hand and the white tape, regretting in my heart that she suffered such a crime at such a young age.

And these pains should have been avoided, it was because I took her to the bridge that she caught the cold.

I blamed myself so much in my heart, I wanted to hug Chen Le tightly, but I was afraid of touching her arm, so I could only lower my head and put a stick on her face.

"Da da..." Chen Le opened his eyes and called me.

"Well, DaDa is here, Xiaole, you are so brave, you don't cry when you get an injection, can DaDa take you to play when you're done?" My voice was a little choked up.

I took out the baby bottle from my pocket, tested the temperature, and it was still warm, so I put it close to Chen Le's mouth: "Drink some milk."

Chen Le opened his mouth, moved twice, and spit out the pacifier.

I don't have energy, and I can't even drink milk.

I put the baby bottle in my arms and covered it, looked up at the bottle above my head, and pointed at the name of the medicine one by one. I got the wrong bottle for the infusion. I have seen such news.

God didn't favor me. After only two days in Tianqiao, Chen Le fell ill. I don't want another accident to happen.

The obsessive-compulsive disorder seemed to be committed. I looked up at the hanging bottle for a while, and looked down at Chen Le's hand for a while.

"Is this your child?" A woman looked at Chen Le and asked me.

I nodded: "My daughter."

"Your child is so good. The weather is cold and the child catches a cold easily. You really need to be more careful." The woman said, "Why didn't the child's mother come here? It's not convenient for you to come here alone."

"It's okay, I can do it alone." I said.

"How can you do it alone? If you go to the bathroom, what will happen to the child? It won't take a while." The woman said, "Besides, seeing that the child is so old, she must not be weaned. She doesn't drink milk powder. You can still drink milk. And milk is rich in nutrients and contains antibodies, which is good for children.”

"Drinking milk, is it easier for the child to catch a cold?" I turned my head, looked at the woman, and asked for advice.

"That's for sure. No matter how natural processed things are, they are not as good as breast milk." The woman said affirmatively, "My grandson always runs to the hospital because he drank too much milk powder. There is a family next door who is two years younger than my grandson. He was only five months old when he was born, which is a full catty lighter than my grandson."

"But look now, the grandson next door is white and fat, and there is nothing wrong with his body. He is so strong because of breast milk. Do you think breast milk is important?"

"Really?" My heart was shaken at once. Should I call Tong Wangjun at this time and ask her to come over and feed Chen Le some milk?
"Of course, I can still lie to you? I'm from here, and I have brought children and grandchildren." The woman nodded, "In the past, there was no milk powder, it was all breast milk, and it was no problem for children to run on the ground with bare buttocks. Now children eat All milk powder, I always think milk powder is good, but the child's body is worse than before."

"Listen to what auntie said, there is nothing wrong, hurry up and let the child's mother come over and feed the child with milk, what is more important than the child?"

I was silent for a while, then looked down at Chen Le in my arms.

Now she fell asleep again, her little face was still red, her face was still hot, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't sleep well.

She was hungry in the morning, and I gave her milk and water, but she didn't drink at all.

I took out my mobile phone and called Tong Wangjun.

"What's the matter?" Tong Wangjun answered the phone and asked in a low voice.

On her side, it seems that she is in a meeting, and today is the time for work.

"Xiao Le is sick, come and feed her." I said, "If you don't have time, forget it."

On the other end of the phone, Tong Wangjun paused, and his voice was a little anxious: "Where is it?"

"A hospital, the infusion room on the first floor." I said, "You..."

I wanted to continue talking, but the phone has already hung up.

Half an hour later, Tong Wangjun entered the infusion room, looked around, found me, ran over quickly, squatted in front of me, and stared at Chen Le for a long time.

"It's okay, the doctor said to have an injection for three days first." Seeing her feeling a little uneasy, I comforted her.

"It's all right? Your face is burning red, how do you look at the child?" My words seemed to ignite Tong Wangjun's anger, she looked up and stared at me.
