evening tide

There are many inspection items and instruments involved in the ICU. Chao Xin paid another 10 deposit as a preparation, and then waited for the ICU to complete the consultation process, and the family members signed the consent form after confirming the acceptance.However, Xiang Wan's situation was critical and no relatives were present, so Chao Xin had to sign on his behalf.

Passing by the doctor's office, I heard nurses chatting softly inside.

"Are you going to turn around again?"

"Well, it's been burning for three or four days, and I'm completely unconscious."

"In fact, it's not uncommon to burn for three or four days, but it's strange that she fainted for so long."

"Is it a bacterial infection?"

"Yes."

"One of the deaths I came into contact with last month was also bacteremia caused by bacterial infection. An old man had respiratory failure, heart failure, cerebral infarction and a lot of other problems. He was bedridden all year round."

"The little girl is in her 20s, and her health can't be that bad."

Chao Xin rubbed his nose, leaned against the wall outside the ward, and sent a message in the group, saying that he might be transferred to the ICU.

Yu Zhou returned quickly: "Come here right away."

Chao Xin didn't reply any more, turned off WeChat, opened the browser, and began to inquire about what was going on in the ICU.It is described as horrific, and some even say that it is like hell. The patient's limbs must be tied to the hospital bed, and some patients who cannot breathe on their own even need to be intubated or have a tracheotomy.

Chao Xin looked at these words, and searched again. It was said on the Internet that some of them would damage the vocal cords a little, but most of them could slowly return to their original voice.

recovering slowly...

Xiang Wan is a sound worker, and she still wants to participate in the competition.

Chao Xin sighed, trying not to be too anxious, tried to breathe more than a dozen times, and then opened the door to go in, glanced at Xiang Wan, still sleeping peacefully.

Habitually touching the back of her hand, it was still hot, but after crying for a while, Chao Xin had calmed down a lot. She didn't know if Xiang Wan could hear or feel anything, but if emotions could be contagious, she didn't want to Let Xiang Wan feel a little low air pressure.

She packed the melons and fruits that Yu Zhou and the others sent in bags, poured out the water in the thermos cup, and the towels to wipe Xiang Wan's body. She wrapped them in plastic bags and put them in her schoolbag.

I squatted down again to reach the two plastic basins under the bed.

The sound of the collision was very weak, and what was even weaker, she heard: "Teacher Chao."

Doubt is hallucination.

Chao Xin raised his head, maintained a squatting posture, and saw that the bulge under Xiangwan's eyelids turned slowly, his eyes opened and closed again, as if they were heavy.

Sure enough, it was a hallucination. Xiang Wan was wearing a ventilator, so it was impossible to speak, and his lips didn't seem to move.

But Chao Xin's heart was pounding.

Xiang Wan didn't let her wait for too long, she blinked twice, and then opened her eyes, not quite used to the light of the ward, she frowned and narrowed her eyes as if hurt, Chao Xin hurriedly covered his hands, not touching Cut off her view.

"Wanwan, are you awake?" Chao Xin helped her cover her eyes, her voice was softer than her movements.

The docile eyelashes brushed in the palm of her hand, and brushed again.

Chao Xin swallowed, then instinctively closed his mouth, his jaw tensed.

"Do you have strength? Can you raise your hand?"

Xiang Wan's hands didn't move, and his eyelashes swept her twice again.

"Then I'll move my hand away, slowly, you get used to it, okay?"

While talking, Chao Xin touched the wall with his other hand and rang the bell to notify the medical staff.

After finishing the words, her fingers separated slightly, and then Xiang Wan saw her Teacher Chao in the light cast between her fingers.

A blurred figure came into focus after blinking desperately twice, and Chao Xin moved his hand to her pillow, supported his body with his strength, and looked down at her seriously.

Xiang Wan also looked at her, just watched without saying anything.

It turned out that she thought it was wrong that Chao Xin looked radiant no matter how tired she was. She had dark circles under her eyes, red bloodshot eyes, a little dead skin on her lower lip, and she was not so beautiful anymore.

Xiang Wan wanted to raise his hand to touch her face, but his fingers were limp, as if he had been crushed by a ghost, and he couldn't move anything except her eyes and consciousness.

Chao Xin didn't dare to touch her, but just nodded to her and smiled.

Xiang Wan also wanted to laugh, but he only piled up the lying silkworms in front of him, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth were not working very well, as if they were cramping.

Chao Xin looked at her and shook his head again.

Xiang Wan blinked twice to show that he understood, be obedient, wait for the doctor, and stay still.

They looked at each other very slowly, but the time was actually very short. The nurse came over and asked Chao Xin what was wrong.

"She's awake." Chao Xin withdrew his body and said hoarsely.

"Ah, let me see," the nurse came over, "Oh really, did you open your eyes, little girl?"

She sighed with a smile, as if she was also relieved.

Then he said, "Okay, you wait for a while, I'll call Dr. Du over."

Chao Xin pulled the stool away, sat on the edge of the bed and straightened Xiang Wan's sleeves.

Before waiting for a minute or two, the doctor came with two interns and a nurse.

"Awake?"

"Well, just woke up, about 5 minutes ago."

"It looks like she's in good spirits, are you hungry?" The doctor asked casually, taking a look at the condition of her infusion and equipment.

"You don't have much strength yet? Is there a problem with breathing? If it feels okay, I'll take it off for you later. I've been on it for 6 hours today, and it's almost there."

Xiang Wan looked at her and nodded slightly.

"Oh, that's great." The doctor laughed again, his tone was like that of a child.

"You're pretty good, you woke up by yourself, let's take your temperature first," she turned to the nurse and said, "I'll do a routine blood test later."

Seeing the doctor's appearance, Chao Xin felt a little relieved, and asked her, "Should I still turn around?"

The doctor handed the thermometer to Chao Xin: "Look at her condition. If she stabilizes, she won't turn it on. As long as she is conscious and the index doesn't drop, we won't over-treat her."

Chao Xin's heart fell to the ground, he got up and put his hand into Xiang's clothes, and put the thermometer under his arm.

Feeling Xiang Wan's clamping movement, Chao Xin smiled and looked at her tenderly.

The doctors went out, and after two or three minutes, the nurse came in again pushing the cart.

Skillfully pulled out the needle and changed the fluid for Xiangwan, and joked while moving: "The little girl is really interesting. She couldn't wake up after screaming a few days ago. Did she wake up when she heard that she was going to the ICU?"

Packing the lost bag, she sighed: "Hurry up, your friend is going to die of anxiety."

There was a familiar beeping sound on the hospital bed, Chao Xin took out the thermometer and took a look at it himself.

"38.4."

She handed it to the nurse and said.

"Hey, it's down." The nurse took out a notebook to register.

"Ah."

Of course Chao Xin knew that she had surrendered, but she didn't dare to be happy when she saw it. She had to wait for the nurse to look at it again and tell her that it had surrendered before she finally felt it.

The door was closed, and the room returned to silence.

Chao Xin sat aside, crossed his fingers on the bed, and looked at Xiang Wan.

She imagined countless times what she would look like if Xiang Wan woke up, and she even dreamed about it, thinking that she would be excited, happy or burst into tears, but she didn't.

Only very suddenly, I was very grateful to Xiang Wan.

When she heard that even the doctor couldn't find the reason for Xiang Wan's coma, she wondered, would she go back to her original place?After all, Xiang Wan is a figure outside of science, and the thing that cannot be explained by science is her origin.

So when Xiang Wan opened her eyes, Chao Xin knew that she must have put in a lot of effort.

She wanted to stay.

"Do you know?" After looking at her for a while, Chao Xin said, "If you don't wake up just now, you will go to a terrible place. There are many tubes, and they may even enter your body."

"The doctor said that when the condition improves a little bit, I will give you a puncture."

"I want to sign the consent form for automatic discharge, endotracheal intubation, deep vein catheterization, and..." She choked up a bit, "The consent form for rescue."

"Before signing, the doctor will explain to me the possible consequences in advance, including death."

Tears welled up in Chao Xin's eyes, but she only held them in her eyes, and calmly did not let her emotions spread.

"When I heard about it, I was thinking, Xiang Wan is so sensible and loves me so much, how could he be willing to sign those things?"

"So if I said that I guessed that you would try to wake up, tell me, am I amazing?"

She smiled and sucked her sore nose.
