At the end of July, Shang Zhuoming, who was already ten and a half months old, fell ill for the first time since he was born.
At first I had a stuffy nose, which was relieved after taking cold medicine.
Shen Chaoxi thought the little guy was strong enough to get through it, but the experienced aunt at home said he might have a fever at night.
Shen Chaoxi is very confident in the experience of grandmothers in taking care of children.
In fact, in their eyes, the little guys are well raised and their owners never spoil them.
After the six-month immunity period from the mother, the little one has never been sick.
At night, Shen Chaoxi carried the child to the big bed so that he could observe him at any time.
Shang Jianghan is not at home. He is inspecting the new factory in Song City. He has been on a business trip for two days and will probably have to stay for another two days before returning.
At twelve o'clock in the night, there were lightning and thunder outside the window. Shen Chaoxi was awakened. He glanced at his sleeping son and felt that he was not sleeping well, so he reached out and touched him.
The child, whose temperature was normal an hour ago, suddenly developed a high fever accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Soaring to thirty-nine degrees.
What is this!
The child's fever could not be ignored, so Shen Chaoxi called the driver and aunt at home and prepared to go to the hospital overnight.
Shang Sitian and Shang Luo were still at home, so Shen Chaoxi left Sister Liu at home to take care of them.
"Madam, do you want to call Mrs. Zhong? It will give you peace of mind with the elders around."
Shen Chaoxi wrapped the child in a small blanket and held him in his arms.
"No, my second brother is on duty tonight, so I called."
"Oh, that's good! What a strange day it is. Let Xiaoyu drive slower."
As he was talking, the driver had already driven the car to the gate and the confinement nanny came out carrying a luggage bag.
The rain has not yet fallen, but it seems to be accumulating.
At night, there were not many vehicles in the city. Xiaoyu, who was a special forces soldier, drove at a speed of 150 km/h, and the car was stable.
The little guy was whimpering with a blue fever-reducing patch on his forehead, and his twenty-plus kilograms of weight was pressing on Shen Chaoxi.
When sick, he clings to others and won't let others hold him.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the hospital emergency building. A second before the door was opened, heavy rain came suddenly, as heavy as if it was being poured down with a basin.
Shen Chaoxi was stuck in a car.
The little guy's face was red and he was coughing.
Shen Chaoxi didn't care about anything else and asked Xiao Yu to hold an umbrella, and the two of them rushed into the rain.
At the door of the emergency room, Shang Jiangchuan was performing surgery, and the pediatrician who was sent out hurried over to meet him.
In the emergency room, blood tests were arranged, but the little guy woke up and refused to cooperate, crying so hard that his face was covered with tears.
"Be good, baby. We'll give you an injection on your finger. Auntie, can you be gentle? It won't hurt at all! Besides, our little Mingming is the bravest. She never cries when we encounter this!"
The little guy was not comforted at all by the unfamiliar environment.
Finally, Shen Chaoxi gritted his teeth and asked the confinement nanny for help. The two of them held down the crying Shang Zhuoming and let the nurse take blood for testing.
Soon, the doctor concluded that it was an upper respiratory tract infection and was worried about lung infection, so he recommended intravenous infusion.
Then you lose, Shen Chaoxi gritted his teeth, after all, "killing the pig" once is the same as killing it twice.
After the infusion, Shen Chaoxi was completely exhausted. It was even more tiring than running 10,000 meters!
It was two o'clock in the morning and there were still a lot of people in the emergency room, so someone used their connections to find a separate cubicle for Shen Chaoxi.
The little guy needs to be observed during the infusion and cannot return to the ward.
Shen Chaoxi didn't want to make any trouble. Xiaoyu was soaked, so Shen Chaoxi asked him to change his clothes. She and the confinement nanny sat on the stool to catch their breath.
Even though he was tired from playing, the little guy still fell asleep peacefully.
There was only one bed in the compartment, and Shen Chaoxi sat at the head of the bed, holding the little guy's hand and unable to leave. In the corridor, the medical staff were busy and the wheels of the carts kept rolling.
When the second bag of infusion was infused, Shang Jiangchuan came hurriedly without even having time to take off his surgical gown. He said only one sentence before being informed that there was a serious accident on the elevated road and that everyone needed to be prepared.
Shen Chaoxi asked his second brother to do the work.
The little guy needs to receive three bags of fluid tonight. Halfway through the third bag, his temperature dropped to 38 degrees. Shen Chaoxi and the confinement nanny both breathed a sigh of relief.
Before I could catch my breath, I heard nurses evacuating patients in the corridor.
Soon, don't knock on the cubicle. The nurse's attitude is gentle, but you can see the imminent urgency.
"Hello, two buses collided on the viaduct, dozens of people were injured, and they were transported here immediately. We can only transfer all patients in the emergency room to the second floor corridor. I'm really sorry!"
In the corridor, some family members were confused and started arguing.
"Why should we give in? My old Duan has a broken leg and he just had it in a cast. If he moves it now and it gets dislocated, who will be held responsible?"
"That's right! There should be a first come first served system when seeing a doctor. We who have mild symptoms should be given priority, but the old man just received an IV and his heart can't take it!"
"You can find a ward for me, or go to the corridor on the second floor? That's the laboratory department, there's nothing in the corridor, and I have to press the oxygen bag myself to deliver oxygen. What if something happens to the patient?"
"We understand that car accidents are temporary incidents, but there are so many hospitals in the city. If we send some of the patients to different hospitals, won't the problem be solved?"
"In the final analysis, it's because the medical system is not sound. When an emergency occurs, there is no response plan!"
"Alright, hurry up and move. Let's get the IV. We can squeeze in some space when people come before they arrive!"
"If you can move, move a little. As long as you can still breathe, we won't cause trouble to the hospital!"
The confinement nanny came back with hot water from outside and saw Shen Chaoxi packing up her things.
"Madam, Xiaoyu has arrived at the parking lot. He will be here soon. We will wait for a moment."
It is really inconvenient for two people to hold the baby, carry things, and carry the infusion set.
Besides, the corridor is noisy and it would be bad if you get squeezed.
As he was speaking, Xiao Yu came running over, panting.
Shen Chaoxi held the child in his arms, and they went up the stairs to the second floor.
At this time, a row of seats on the second floor had been occupied by several patients' family members, and an old man was arranged to lie there.
Shen Chaoxi did not fight for that space, but found a relatively quiet corner.
"Madam, how about we go to the VIP ward? There are reserved rooms there."
Because of the car accident, all the elevators in the hospital were busy, and Shen Chaoxi didn't intend to cause any more trouble.
"There's still half a bag of liquid left. It'll only take half an hour. Just hold on."
The aunt looked around and saw that the lady was holding the child and there was not even a seat. The young master didn't let anyone else touch the child. After the infusion, the lady's arm would definitely not be able to bear it.
In a hurry, Xiao Yu asked his aunt to put the luggage bag on the ground. Inside were the child's clothes and supplies, as well as two blankets, which were barely enough for him to sit on.
"You are still smarter than me!"
Having served in the special forces, I know how to survive in difficult situations.
Xiao Yu was praised and grinned, which was a rare occasion for him. But when he remembered that the young master was sick, he restrained his expression again.
Shang Jianghan appeared at this time. He was standing in a backlit position, not far from the people at home. He looked at the messy hall full of people, with bedding, supplies, and infusion equipment scattered everywhere, as if they were taking shelter!
But even at times like this, his wife, the aunt at home and the driver were able to find joy in the midst of adversity.
It has to be said that difficulties are relative, and the suffering in people’s hearts is the hardest to overcome.
The first person to discover Shang Jianghan was the confinement nanny at home.
Xiao Yu bent down and picked up the infusion pump, while also protecting the overhead light for the young master.
