Dr. Yamada took out the syringe from the medical cart. This was his first time performing an ALS operation, and although it was difficult to notice, his hands were definitely shaking.
Was he panicking? Of course he was, but he was a doctor, the patient's hope, so he couldn't show it.
"Chihaya-san, please lie on your side."
An hour later, the door of the ward was opened.
The moment the door opened, Xiangzi, who was sitting on the bench in the corridor, jumped up and walked to Dr. Yamada: "Dr. Yamada, how is Xiao Ai?"
"The operation went smoothly. Chihaya's temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation are all normal." Dr. Yamada breathed a sigh of relief.
Nothing abnormal occurred during the operation, which is the best result for him so far. At least he didn't need to suddenly stop taking the medication during the operation, which would have been a complete failure.
Hearing this, Xiangzi's eyes flashed with joy: "Does that mean that cytokine storm won't happen?"
As Xiangzi finished speaking, Dr. Yamada sighed and shook his head. "During the acute phase 24 to 72 hours after surgery, the probability of a cytokine storm is even higher."
"Huh?" The joy in Xiangzi's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by endless confusion. "But... none of the information I found mentioned this."
"Because there is no detailed information on the treatment of ALS at present," Dr. Yamada explained. "Those books only teach you how to prolong your life, but they can't cure it."
After saying that, Dr. Yamada turned to the nurse and said, "Please keep a close eye on Chihaya's physical indicators for the next three days."
"Yes, Dr. Yamada."
After saying goodbye to Dr. Yamada, Xiangzi did not delay for a moment and directly opened the door of the ward and ran in.
Seeing Xiangzi so anxious, Aiyin's mother followed behind them and breathed a sigh of relief.
These kids are really worried about Aine.
Xiangzi ran to Aiyin's bedside: "Xiao Ai, how are you feeling?"
"It feels... not much different from the previous lumbar puncture."
As usual, after the injection, Aiyin lay quietly on the bed, and she would lie there for at least four to six hours.
"Just now when we were outside, Su Shi and the others were asking about your surgery in the group chat."
"What did you say?" Aiyin looked at Xiangzi sideways. She wanted to tilt her head, but the current situation did not allow her to make such a "drastic" movement.
"I said I'm in surgery." Xiangzi took out his cell phone and said, "Wait for me to call them back."
I opened the large group created by Ain, and everyone was still asking questions, all about Ain.
[Xiangzi: Everyone, the surgery is now over and Xiao Ai is fine.]
As soon as this sentence was sent out, the frequency of other people sending messages increased visibly.
[Meow Dream: Really?]
[Chu Hua: That’s great.]
[Sushi: I'm glad Aine-chan is okay.]
[......]
Xiangzi held the phone in front of Aine so that she could see the messages from everyone.
Looking at the messages of concern from everyone, Aine felt a warm current in her heart.
"Xiao Ai, everyone cares about you." Xiangzi used his other hand to brush away the hair that fell on Aiyin's face.
"Ah."
Aiyin smiled slightly. For some reason, she always felt a little suffocated in her heart. She could clearly sense that this was not a side effect of the operation, but that she really wanted to cry, but could not.
"Little Love?"
The forced smile on Aiyin's lips made Xiangzi stunned for a moment. She took the phone back and looked at Aiyin worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Why do you seem to be in a bad mood?"
"No." Aine denied it flatly. She didn't know if she would cry, but in order to prevent herself from crying, she closed her eyes.
With a long sigh, Aine said, “Everyone is a very nice person.”
Xiangzi nodded: "Indeed, everyone cares about Xiaoai."
After a pause, Xiangzi continued, "Of course, it's because Xiao Ai cared about other people first, right?"
“I think so…” Aine opened her eyes, her eyes were slightly red, tears had already accumulated in her eyes.
Chapter 303 Li Yueyi Yinbu Shiqi is like Wu Liuxi's thoughts
"Xiao Ai? Why are you crying?"
Seeing the tears in Aine's eyes, Xiangzi stood up in a panic. She looked around and finally found a tissue on the corner of the table.
Xiangzi quickly took out a few of the cards, held them in his hand, sat back next to Aine, and wiped away her tears.
"I don't know why I cried... I just saw the messages everyone sent... I just..."
After each lumbar puncture, Aiyin faced tremendous pain, but every time, she did not shed a tear.
This time, she originally wouldn't cry, but for some reason, after seeing that everyone's messages were about her concern, tears unconsciously flowed from her eyes.
Hearing this, Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, as long as it was not any postoperative sequelae, there was no need to worry too much.
"Xiao Ai, don't cry. If you cry like this, Su Shi and the others will worry again."
Aine's mother nodded as she sat next to her. "Yeah, Aine, aren't Sushi and the others on tour? If they knew you were crying, they'd definitely be worried. Stop crying, okay?"
"Okay..." Aiyin responded with a tearful voice. She wanted to stop crying, but she couldn't for a moment and could only sob silently.
"jingle."
Xiangzi's cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Miao Meng tagging her in the group.
[Meow Dream: Xiangzi, when can we go visit Aizi?]
After thinking for a moment, Xiangzi tapped the screen.
[Xiangzi: Let’s wait three days.]
[Chu Hua: Xiao Xiang, why did it take so long?]
[Xiangzi: Let’s wait until Xiao Ai is through this dangerous period.]
After this sentence was sent in the group, the whole group suddenly became silent as death.
After a long time, Su Shi slowly raised a question mark.
Xiangzi sighed and explained to everyone the three-day acute period that Dr. Yamada had just told him.
[Su Shi: I see… The next three days are the peak period for symptoms.]
On the other side, Su Shi's hands were shaking. Although she typed these words so easily, her heart, which had been at ease, was hanging again.
I thought as long as nothing happened during the operation, it would be fine. But I didn't expect that the danger after the operation is the greatest. If something really happens in these three days...
"Su Shi..." Deng noticed Su Shi's depressed mood. She sat next to Su Shi and comforted him softly, "It's okay."
Hearing the sound of the lamp, Su Shi looked up in surprise. She never thought that one day she would be comforted by the lamp.
"Little lamp?"
"Yeah, Suyo...Aine-chan will definitely be fine."
Deng gently held Su Shi's hand, her tone was firm. Su Shi wanted to question, but didn't know how to start.
Looking at Deng, Su Shi was a little dazed. In her memory, Deng had always been hiding behind everyone. Although there had been experiences where she had made up her mind to pull Aine back, those times were very rare.
And now, Xiaodeng actually took the initiative to comfort others... Xiaodeng is no longer the timid girl she used to be... She has really changed a lot now.
After a long time, Su Shi's mouth corners slightly raised, and she nodded, accepting Deng's comfort.
"Yeah, Aine-chan will be fine."
Su Shi's words seemed to be comforting herself, and also seemed to be affirming Deng's inner thoughts, making Deng feel better.
Lixi rested his elbows on the window. Outside the window was a large park. The sun gently caressed the lake and the branches on both sides swayed.
But at this moment, Lixi was not in the mood to appreciate this pleasant environment. The news about Xiangzi just now was echoing in her mind.
What do you mean by "the acute phase"? Is the most dangerous period after surgery? All I've seen online is that dangers occur during surgery... I thought the guy would just make it through the surgery... but then this happens again.
Could it be that... the treatment for ALS is different from the normal surgical process? That's probably right... After all, this is ALS...
Li Xi sighed softly, a sound only he could hear. He had to wait another half a month for all the performances to be completed, and there was no way he could go back to see her...
Moreover, there is a tour tomorrow. After hearing this news, won’t everyone’s mentality be affected tomorrow?
Li Xi was very worried that not only he, but also others might perform poorly tomorrow because of this news.
She didn't want to waste this hard-earned tour opportunity, but she couldn't easily accept the news.
Su Shi, who was sitting on the sofa, noticed Li Xi's frown. She stood up and walked to Li Xi: "Li Xi?"
"Su Shi..." Li Xi glanced at Su Shi, continued to look outside, and said nothing more.
"Are you worried about Aine-chan?"
Although Su Shi was asking Li Xi, she knew very well in her heart that apart from this matter, Li Xi would not have any worries about other things, even the tour, because they performed surprisingly well in these tours.
Li Xi didn't say anything, which was considered as his tacit agreement to Su Shi's question.
"It's okay." Su Shi leaned her arms against the window, and the breeze blew, lifting her long chestnut hair. "Didn't Xiao Deng just say that Aine-chan will be fine."
"Well, it's okay."
Li Xi nodded, and then echoed. Although she wanted to believe this sentence, she would not hypnotize herself in that way. She knew very well that such words were just casual comfort and would not have any effect in essence.
Su Shi turned around and looked at Li Xi calmly: "Li Xi, believe Xiao Deng."
Believe in the light... But, can this really be done by just saying "believe"?
"Li Xi." Su Shi spoke again.
Hearing Su Shi's words, Li Xi turned his head and met Su Shi's blue eyes, those calm but powerful eyes.
For a moment, Li Xi was a little stunned. She rarely saw Su Shi's eyes so powerful.
After a moment, Li Xi turned his face away: "Do you believe it..."
"Yes, and...there's also Dr. Yamada's. He's so amazing, Aine-chan will definitely be fine."
When Su Shi's words reached his ears, Li Xi paused. Thinking about it, it seemed true. Dr. Yamada was a well-known doctor in NCNP. If anything happened to that guy, he would definitely have a way, right? Surely...
"Ritsuki..." Deng walked over and looked at Ritsuki's profile, "Aine-chan...it will be fine."
Deng's eyes were extremely firm. Li Xi looked at those eyes and lowered his head unconsciously.
After a long time, Li Xi nodded.
"We have a tour tomorrow. I hope it won't affect your mentality?" After saying that, Li Xi looked around at everyone in the room.
Seeing that everyone shook their heads and denied that they would not be affected, Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."
Everyone says they won't be affected, but what about me? Will I?
Thinking of this, Li Xi turned around and looked out the window again, hoping.
Chapter 304 After Surgery
In the ward, Dr. Yamada stood beside Aine's bed, looking at the data on the bedside table in surprise.
Today is the fourth day since Aiyin received the AAV9 injection, which also means that Aiyin has passed the acute postoperative period.
"It's incredible. According to the data, approximately 70 percent of people will experience a mild or severe immune response during the acute postoperative period."
Dr. Yamada sighed and said that even without many immune methods, the body's various data would fluctuate slightly, but Aine's data was extremely stable.
"Then this is a good thing, right?" Xiangzi stood beside her with a smile on her face.
God knows how she got through these days. She lived in fear every day. As long as Aine made any movement, Xiangzi and Aine's mother would wake up.
But fortunately, nothing happened in the past few days.
"Yes, it's a good thing." Dr. Yamada did not intend to discourage Xiangzi and the others again. This injection was just the threshold for ALS surgery.
If we think from the perspective of geometry problems, we have only completed the auxiliary lines now, and the real steps have not yet begun.
After a pause, Dr. Yamada continued, "To ensure that this isn't a late-onset condition, Chihaya-san will need to undergo a physical examination within the next month. Of course, it won't be as frequent as it is now, just once a week will suffice."
Doctor Yamada glanced at Aine and the others, and he could see the worry in their eyes. He waved his hand, "But don't worry, the harm of the delayed phase is far less serious than the acute phase, and the probability of occurrence is far less high than the acute phase. Just be careful."
“Is that so…” Aine nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Since nothing happened to her during the acute phase, then the delayed phase must be fine too.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
