Dolphin Bay Lover's Homecoming

Chapter 62 Tug of War with Eternity - The Finale

The relatives outside the operating room are waiting anxiously, and the operating room continues to be a race against time and life.

Life and death are eternal topics.

Dr. Howard got the consent form signed by Xu Zeya and arranged for his staff to prepare it immediately.

If the patient's heart stops for more than 5 minutes, there will be no more miracles.

"Perform a perimortem cesarean, ok, we have 3 minutes left..."

"Scalpels, scissors, pliers, tweezers..."

"Come on, put in the retractor..."

"Professor, the EKG still shows no sinus rhythm..."

"Blood pressure drops..."

"Prepare the artificial heart and lung again!"

"Open the airway and continue to stimulate breathing!"

"No, the maternal side is bleeding abnormally..."

"Hurry up, we can't delay, take out the fetus immediately..."

Before the operating light, the old doctor who had experienced various situations still stayed at the helm, remained calm, raised the scalpel calmly, and made a small incision...

In 43 seconds, a bloody mass wrapped in various impurities was dragged out.The doctor swiftly cut off the umbilical cord that was somewhat whitish, and then noticed that the baby's lips were pale pink, and his skin color was like white paper, but the placenta was larger than that of ordinary babies, with abundant blood.

"Sure enough, it's Bai Xuebao (the child of a pregnant woman with leukemia, whose anemia was caused by blood transfusion)..." Dr. Howard was surprised.This is the main form of the baby after the mother-baby blood transfusion to the end.He deftly directed his subordinates to cut off the umbilical cord, and there was a faint cry.

"Heartbeat! There is another heartbeat on the parturient's side!"

"Okay, start suturing. Immediately notify Dr. Aiden of the NICU and implement emergency care for premature babies!" Howard finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the instrument displayed the numbers again.

The whole process took just 2 minutes and 23 seconds.

The doctors simply cleaned up the whitish child, and before notifying the family, they immediately took the nearest channel to the NICU. It was another relay race of life.

"Okay!" Dr. Aiden was clearly ready.

"I have vital signs? That's great! Such a strong Snow White." As soon as Aiden saw the child's appearance, he immediately started his own treatment.There is no delay in the face of life.

"After the umbilical cord is cut off, it needs to be kept longer..."

"Start intubating..."

"Connect to the monitor and check the heart rate and oxygen saturation."

"Dexamethasone promotes the lungs..."

"By the way, this child is quite special, and his hematopoietic stem cells need to be tested immediately. Shanni's side...should be used." Aiden and his assistant were also busy running around.

After a while, he asked cautiously: "By the way, how is the baby's score?"

"It's okay, the overall score is 6, but the pH value is low, maybe..." the assistant replied from the side.

"Oh~ his mother has leukemia, and he has been supplying blood to his mother. It's strange that it's normal. 6 points is not bad... Hurry up, arrange a blood transfusion. In addition, inject alkali as soon as possible to control the acid-base balance in the body. Ruined……"

The tube was inserted into the child's body little by little, and Aiden looked at the test index through the incubator, "It seems that this child is not out of danger yet, and will live in the NICU for a while..."

Xu Zeya continued to wait anxiously outside the operating room for half an hour before seeing the lights in the operating room turned off.Dr. Howard came out sweating profusely: "Mr. Xu, come here, let me explain to you about your wife's situation."

"Okay." Hearing this, Xu Zeya didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only follow along.

Now the road to follow the doctor is long and heavy.

"First of all, I would like to tell you the good news that the peri-mortem cesarean section was performed in time, the fetus was taken out in time, and the adults also recovered their heartbeat, but the consciousness has not yet recovered. The fetus has reached 28 weeks and has vital signs. Currently being rescued in the NICU, the preliminary test score is 6 points. As I mentioned to you before, it is Snow White, which is better than expected. However, you still have to make all preparations, adults and children may still..."

"Okay." Hearing this, Xu Zeya knew that Shanny and the child were fine for the time being, and he felt a little comfort in his heavy heart.Sitting down on the opposite side all of a sudden.

At this moment, Shanny's operating table was pushed out.

"Sanni, Shani, are you okay?" He hurried to the front, seeing that Shani's head was wrapped in gauze and tubes were inserted all over her body, he didn't know where to touch first.At this time yesterday, they were talking and laughing as they discussed who the child might be like, but it was only a day, and they were almost separated from each other.

Life is so fragile, yet so tenacious.

"Professor, how long will it take for her to wake up? And her body..." Xu Zeya asked while half kneeling in front of the operating table.

"Don't worry, we have taken the child's umbilical cord blood and conducted a comprehensive test on her body. I believe we will know soon... Now the patient is temporarily sent to the ICU. If she cannot wake up in the next 48 hours, It may be necessary to use an artificial heart and lung... The most important thing in the next two days is to assist the patient to regain consciousness. Of course, the most important thing is to see her personal ability to survive."

The professor said word for word.Immediately, he arranged for his men to push Shanni out.

Xu Zeya was stunned for a while, watching Xu Shanni being sent to the ICU, at a loss.It wasn't until the nurse in the NICU ward ran over and called him over to register the newborn that he came back to his senses.

On the child's side... I don't know what's going on yet.

"Aiden..." Xu Zeya still had Shanni's appearance in his mind. He walked towards the NICU distraught, recognized his friend Aiden through the protective clothing, and fell into the other's arms at once, feeling helpless and The hesitation was instantly released.

"Zerya, hold on, hold on," Aiden quickly pushed him away and patted him on the shoulder, this man!Then the main topic was introduced, "Come, look at your son, he needs you very much now."

"Son? Is... a boy?" Xu Zeya only realized at this moment that he was here to register the child, and he had just noticed the child's gender.

He bent down and looked at the child in the incubator next to him covered with pipes. If he was right, this was his son, the child he and Shanny had been looking forward to, the child who entrusted his hopes and expectations, To help a child whose mother has leukemia before birth...

His whole body was bruised and purple, and he looked no bigger than a slap. He didn't look good or bad. He just felt that he had a tube inserted into his body and was firmly fixed, as if breathing was painful.

"The baby is male, and the birth weight is... 2100 grams... The comprehensive evaluation score is 6, which is better than expected. But be careful, because the lungs and intestines are not yet fully developed, it is easy to cause rupture of the lungs and intestines... Respiratory organs, digestive organs , the excretory organs, and they started working before they developed well...Maybe after a week, the situation will be more stable..."

"Poor child..." Xu Zeya felt distressed when he heard this.He didn't know what else he could do. Now that his wife and children were all fighting against fate, he wanted to bear more...

"Zerya, be strong. You see, Sunny persisted in the event of intracranial hemorrhage, and the baby survived. His umbilical cord blood has been used to save the mother. It's all good news. How can you So negative? Be optimistic, it’s okay,” Aiden comforted, and then held Xu Zeya’s hand, “Remember I showed you around here, come, go and disinfect, touch your baby, he is very Looking forward to your..."

Of course, Aiden didn't say that for premature babies, cerebral palsy, lung disease, visual impairment... are all possible.Of course, Xu Zeya knew about it.

"Okay..." Xu Zeya barely held back tears, thinking that Shanny was still in the ICU and hadn't regained consciousness. Following Aiden's instructions, he gently touched the child's little hand with his finger: "Baby, I'm Dad... Dad will I've been by your side all the time. You have to work hard and recover quickly. When you get better, I'll take you to see your mother, okay, she hasn't seen you yet..."

While speaking, his fingers were tightly held by the little hand in the incubator.

"Child..." Xu Zeya was a little surprised. Although he simply grasped it, he seemed to feel that the child was comforting and encouraging himself in his own way.

Was he telling himself to be stronger?

"Look, the baby is so small, it will be fine if you know how to push it hard!" It's commonplace, it's a very common grasping reaction of newborns, and Aiden still explained it with a little emotion.

"En!" The child's encouragement obviously gave Xu Zeya endless motivation.He took a firm look at the child, then stood up slowly, and after completing the relevant registration, he looked back reluctantly and walked towards the ICU ward.

His footsteps are so firm, he has already put the hesitation just behind his mind. "Sannie, have you seen it? Baby, he is looking forward to you too. He is a little prince. From now on, we two men will protect you together..."

There are still so many unknown winds and rains waiting for him ahead, but Xu Zeya knows in his heart that nothing can stop him, and the family wants to pursue the pace of happiness and tranquility.Strength and confidence are their most powerful weapons against all unknowns.

Finally, three days later.

After Xu Zeya stayed in front of Xu Shanni's bed for three days without sleep, the doctors and nurses suggested the use of artificial heart and lungs again. At the same time, it may just be the good news that the baby's second assessment rose to 7 points, and Xu Shanni quietly opened her eyes.

"Sannie, you really, really persevered." Xu Zeya saw the other party slowly opened his eyes and held the other party's hand, and it was impossible to tell whether he was crying or smiling.

Walking over the edge of life and death again, it turns out that he is so concerned about life.

A tear fell on Xu Shanni's hand impartially.

"Zeya... I, I'm fine, I just fell asleep." Xu Shanni looked at him and whispered, "I heard you and kept telling me..."

"Well, yes, I have been talking, talking about... Thank you, thank you for hearing my prayers. I am back safely..." Xu Zeya said incoherently, and buried his head gently in front of Xu Shanni, crying flow all over the face.

Thank you, thank you for surviving, Shanni, do you know that I have been alive for a few days... It is a good thing you are alive, otherwise I am left alone, what should I do...

He also gradually realized that the lives of Shanni and the children were far more important than his own.

"Well, you've worked hard, Zeya..." Xu Shanni's lips were still a little cracked, and she said weakly: "You said...you said you want to have a child? Is it a little boy? I heard it all..."

"Well, but the baby is a little small. In the next two days, you need to recover well. When you get better, I will take you to see him, okay?" Xu Zeya confessed, looking at the expectant look of the other party.He coaxed Sunny like he coaxed his own daughter.

"Well, don't worry, I... I'm fine, you said, we still... have to give him a name together." Seeing the other party crying and laughing, Xu Shanni continued to whisper.She was very tired and ached all over, but when she saw the other person's face, she suddenly felt that everything didn't matter.

It's just that she wanted to raise her head and touch the other person's face, but she really didn't have the strength.

She was so sleepy and tired, she couldn't feel her whole body.

She only remembered that Liang Wenyin came to look for her, accidentally caused her to touch the bed cabinet, and then...then fell into darkness.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a light shining. In her sleep, she heard a faint cry of a child.Is that her child?Was he born safely?

She seemed to have slept for a long time, and after walking for a long time, she finally woke up again.And Zeya, just like this, has been by his side all the time, never leaving.

"Okay Shanny, take a break first and don't talk anymore. I know you are worried about Grandpa and Mom. They are also fine, and they will go to see the baby every day..."

When Xu Shanni heard this, she just smiled and stopped talking.Good, he understood everything she wanted to express.

Five more days passed.

Under the careful care of Xu Zeya and other family members, Xu Shanni left the ICU smoothly and returned to the general ward.

She couldn't have imagined that in this week, she had undergone major cesarean section surgery and minor cord blood supply surgery (the intracranial hypertension has been relieved), and got the inspection report, everything is fine, and her symptoms are also recovering , the indicators tend to be normal.Zeya said that it was their child who saved her, and she would be the happiest mother in the world.

She is about to recover, and she will walk out of the terrible nightmare of leukemia just like a normal person.The application of Howard's CORA reagent has also been recognized by the international medical community and will be put into clinical practice in batches.

Now she can get out of bed, but the incision on her stomach hasn't healed yet, so she can't walk very far.

Xu Zeya found the wheelchair and picked it up gently.He hugged lightly to avoid the painful wound.Now they are going to the NICU together to visit the children receiving care there.

"Sannie, the baby is doing very well, don't worry, and don't be too nervous. It's just that he may be a little smaller than normal babies, because he came out more than two months earlier, and he has been waiting for you. See you later He, don't cry, I told him that his mother is very strong and beautiful... grandpa and mother also came to see..." Xu Zeya rambled.

"Okay, I know, I won't cry, and I'm not a child." Xu Shanni smiled, she was already prepared.She even learned that the baby has not inherited those terrible diseases according to the current test. She is really thankful to God.

Did she save the world in her previous life?God gave her new hope and life on the verge of despair.

She has imagined countless times, what would it be like if her child was lucky enough to survive?She has depicted countless images of him in her heart.Gene is there, he must be very cute and beautiful.

Of course, she couldn't help but shed tears at the moment she saw the child.

Not only is her baby very small, but it also looks a bit painful with its naked body full of tubes, like a wounded little monkey.

But he kept clenching his fists and breathing, so strong, so strong.

"He's so small, he's really so small... Zeya, is he really our child?" Xu Shanni barely held back her tears and asked, raising her head.

Xu Zeya was also watching the child in the incubator.Compared with the previous few days, it seems that he has grown up a little bit.

"Yeah, does he have one? He's very beautiful and cute?" Xu Zeya also squatted down.

"Yes." Xu Shanni nodded in response.

Her baby is so strong and brave. Although it is very hard to hold on to each other now, it seems to be much healthier than expected. "

"Aiden said that the vitality of a baby is unknown. The miracle of vitality is far beyond medical imagination. Do you feel relieved after seeing him?" Xu Zeya continued to ask.

"Well," Xu Shanni looked at Xu Zeya, smiled, and then looked into the incubator: "Baby, thank you, thank you, for saving your mother. Thank you, thank you for choosing us to be your parents." She followed As Zeya said, he also gently stretched out his fingers, stroking the child's smooth and tender skin.

(The picture is from the Japanese drama obstetrician Hongniao, for reference only, and the rest can be imagined by yourself)

"Sannie, you see that he is a little small now, but he will grow up one day. Let's stay with him, watch him, and grow up slowly. Okay?" Xu Zeya continued to look inside and said affectionately.It is really a big surprise for them that the little guy inside can survive.

"Yeah!" Xu Shanni nodded firmly when she heard this, smiled back, and shed tears.She withdrew her hand, looked inside, and whispered softly: "Baby, welcome to this world. Here, you will get a lot of love and blessings. Mom and Dad and you will always be happy, happy live on."

The gaze of parents, the vigorous breathing of life.Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and they leaned on each other gently, looking at the little guy who was trying to grow inside, as if admiring a peerless treasure.Accompanying them, he has gone a long, long and hard way.

Soon, Aiden came to remind her that the visiting time was up. Although she was reluctant to leave, Xu Shanni sat back in the wheelchair obediently and prepared to rush back to the ward.

Received stem cell therapy, and now the rejection stage has just passed.If it goes well, maybe... Her leukemia may really be cured.It was Zeya and the child, as well as her family and friends, who gave her a second life.

"Sannie, what are you thinking? Are you happy to see the baby?" On the way back, Xu Zeya said while pushing the wheelchair, his tone a little brisk.

"Well, I'm thinking, I'm so happy, I'm so happy. Being able to have you..."

"Shanny, I've said it many times, don't be so polite. We are a family. In the future, there are still many things waiting for us to spend together," Xu Zeya smiled, then stopped, and walked across from Shanny , seeing her bursting into tears when she got out of the NICU, she smiled and helped her wipe her tears with a wet towel, cut her hair, and the two of them watched the setting sun outside the window of the hospital corridor, and the afterglow was everywhere. .

"Well, Zeya, with you here, I won't be afraid of anything," Xu Shanni also slowly touched Xu Zeya's face with her hands, and said sincerely, "Meeting you is really the greatest happiness in my life."

"Me too." Xu Zeya raised his eyes, looked into her gaze, and leaned over to kiss her forehead lightly.

There is no longer hesitation and helplessness in the eyes of each other, but more calmness, courage, and tacit understanding facing the future.

It was getting late, he continued to push the wheelchair and led her to the ward.Life is full of unpredictable sorrows and joys, but fortunately, there are always people around you to accompany you, cutting through the waves and moving forward hand in hand.

The bright yellow afterglow slowly elongates the shadow, everything looks so peaceful and beautiful.

And life, like that quiet, embracing river, is forever, beautiful, high-spirited and stubborn, forever.
