Chapter 36 The Power of Family Support

Li Renxin was lying on the hospital bed. Although his body temperature had stabilized at 39 degrees and did not continue to rise, there was still no sign of improvement.

In just three days, his hands were riddled with holes due to the infusion, one after another was densely packed with needle holes, which looked a bit creepy.

The continuous infusion is one reason, and another reason is that every time the nurses give him an injection, they often have to insert it several times before the needle can be accurately inserted into his vein.

It's not because the nurses in the shelter hospital are not skilled enough, but because the situation is really special.

When giving injections and infusions to moderate COVID-[-] patients like Li Renxin and others, in order to avoid the risk of infection as much as possible, every nurse must wear more than three layers of rubber gloves on their hands.

Everyone should have this feeling when wearing gloves in winter. After wearing gloves, it will greatly affect the flexibility of the hands. Whether it is wearing gloves to write or do other things, it will be particularly strenuous and inconvenient.

Although medical rubber gloves are very, very thin, normally, the impact on the flexibility of the doctor's hand is basically negligible.

It doesn't matter if you wear one layer, but no matter how thin the medical rubber gloves are, if you wear three layers at a time, it is impossible for the nurses to work without being affected.

In addition, due to the tight number of medical staff, many nurses who have just graduated and have little work experience, although they cannot go to Tongji Hospital to serve severe and critically ill patients, they are all in the shelter hospital. work here.

Their work experience is not rich in the first place, coupled with the influence of wearing multiple layers of gloves, the success rate of needle insertion during infusion suddenly dropped sharply.

However, Li Renxin never blamed them. Looking at these young girls who were not a few years older than his daughter, Li Renxin only had admiration and distress in his heart.

Because he knew that although these little nurses took care of most of the patients with mild symptoms and a small number of patients with moderate symptoms, their daily working hours and the fatigue and hard work in their work were no less than Li Renxin's. There are very few nurses in their expert team!

They wear thick protective clothing every day, and don't even dare to drink more water in order to avoid going to the toilet.

They wear multi-layer masks and protective face shields every day. After each work, they will have several deep marks on their faces, and their faces will turn red.

Every time they took off the heavy protective clothing, the original clothes of their petite bodies were all soaked in sweat.

Li Renxin himself is also a doctor who has fought on the front line, so he knows the difficulty of these medical staff.

Once, a little nurse pricked his hand three times without finding the right position, and she was so nervous that her hand was shaking.

Fang Ping, the head nurse, saw that Li Renxin's hands were bleeding, and was about to reprimand the little nurse, but was stopped by Li Renxin.

"The child is already very nervous at this time, we should encourage her at this time, instead of scolding her."

Li Renxin said to Fang Ping: "If you scold her at this time, she will have even less confidence in herself, and from now on, she will be shadowed every time she helps a patient with infusion."

After stopping Fang Ping, Li Renxin, suffering from the pain of a high fever and the sharp pain of being stabbed in his hand, smiled at the little nurse, raised his chin encouragingly and said, "Go on, take a deep breath, don't be nervous, anyway, I am The back of your hand is so big, even if you make a few mistakes, you will always get it right once."

"Pfft..."

The little nurse who was very nervous at first couldn't help being amused after hearing Li Renxin's words, most of the tension in her heart dissipated, and she stopped shaking, as if she was a different person .

Sure enough, on the fourth time, the little nurse didn't make any mistakes and succeeded in the first attempt!

"Thank you Director Li!"

After helping Li Renxin fix the needle in his hand, the little nurse bowed to Li Renxin excitedly, thanking him very much for his understanding and encouragement.

"Obviously you are giving me the injection, so I should be the one thanking you."

Li Renxin waved his hand weakly.

After the little nurse left, Fang Ping looked at Li Renxin lying on the hospital bed with a complicated expression, and after a while she murmured: "I am not as good as you, and after not seeing you for so many years, the gap between me and you is getting farther and farther. "

"I send you four words, if you can remember, it should be helpful to you."

Li Renxin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Compare your heart to your heart."

Fang Ping's body shook slightly, and then her eyes moved, as if she had realized something.

"Take a good rest and ring the bell for us if you need something."

Fang Ping also bowed slightly towards Li Renxin, then turned and left the ward.

The next day, to Li Renxin's surprise, Huang Zhiguang got out of his busy schedule and came to see him in the cabin hospital in person.

"Dahuang, why do you have time to come?"

Li Renxin looked at Huang Zhiguang weakly, and tried his best to talk to him.

"Brother Li, are you alright?"

Huang Zhiguang looked at the haggard Li Renxin with concern, then took out a bag from his hand, handed it to Li Renxin, and said, "I'm here this time, besides looking at you, the main purpose is to take this bag It was brought to you by a colleague from Sioux City, who said it was brought to you by your family, I was afraid that your family would be in a hurry, so I took the time to bring it to you right away."

"my family?"

A bright light burst out of Li Renxin's eyes, and he stretched out his hand struggling to open the bag.

The bag was always packed in a small box, and after Li Renxin reached out to open it, a sweet fragrance wafted from the ward.

A small note was pasted on the top of the lunch box.

"Husband, is it hard to work outside? I was afraid that you would miss home, so I specially baked your favorite cookies, and asked Dean Zhang to find someone to bring them to you."

"Remember what you promised me, you must return safely!"

"My daughter and I are waiting for you at home!"

Li Renxin held the food box tightly in his hand, tears were blurring in his eyes, and he couldn't stop chanting the names of his wife and children.

"Disease! You can't kill me! I will definitely recover! No one can stop me from being reunited with my wife, daughter and family!"

In Li Renxin's firm eyes, his spirit revived like mushrooms after rain.

The care of the family members, like a towering building tree, once again supported Li Renxin's inner world that was exhausted by the illness, and radiated infinite strength.

The next morning, when Li Renxin took his temperature again, he found that his temperature was only 38 degrees Celsius!

This situation made Li Renxin's heart agitated, even with his calmness, he couldn't help but burst into tears!

The body temperature dropped!

Although it is still burning, but the body temperature does not rise but drops, which is already a sign of improvement!

This news was great news for Li Renxin who was standing on the edge of the cliff, stepping from heaven to hell!

After hearing the news, the doctors in the Fangcang Hospital had done many tests for Li Renxin, and everyone showed an excited smile.

Li Renxin's condition has really turned around!
