Chapter 600 Women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers.
In fact, the baby experienced a period of respiratory arrest at birth.
Fortunately, the medical staff managed to save the child in time.
The child's basic vital signs are fine, but further examination is needed to determine the exact condition.
The doctor ordered tests for the child. After paying the fees, Shen Guihua's father and his wife took the child for each test.
Because of her cesarean section, Shen Guihua was unable to accompany her child to the check-up.
By the time the child finished all the checkups, it was already evening.
When the doctor came to the ward to explain the child's condition to Shen Guihua, Gu Nan and Su Niannian also came to see Song Zhaodi.
"Although the child is deformed, the extra parts can be treated surgically."
"The things that look like hands below the hands are boneless. The trouble lies in dealing with the blood vessels and nerves."
"The extra leg contains bone, which makes it relatively more complicated to treat. It is recommended to have the surgery when the child is one and a half to two years old."
"And then there's the child's kidneys... Both kidneys have problems, with the left one being more severe, almost completely necrotic."
"The right kidney is also not functioning well."
"It's the spine; there's a partial displacement, which requires surgical correction."
When the doctor was there, he showed Shen Guihua the baby's X-rays.
There are many problems, and the surgery will need to be performed several times.
The cost is enormous.
However, if all the procedures are followed, the child can actually recover to the standard of a normal person.
The doctor knew about the argument that Shen Guihua's husband and mother-in-law had made yesterday.
Through conversation, I also learned that Shen Guihua's family could not afford the cost of so many surgeries.
Therefore, this step of standing here to explain the situation is like announcing the child's death.
"If, without surgery, how long can the child live?" After a long pause, Shen Guihua finally asked.
"Three or four years old, I guess."
"The extra parts on the outside won't affect the child's life; what will affect the child's life is the kidneys," the doctor said.
According to several doctors' analysis, if the child's kidneys are not operated on or treated, then the child's life will end when both kidneys cease to function properly.
Shen Guihua then inquired about the cost of the treatment.
An astronomical figure appeared before Shen Guihua.
Even Song Zhaodi and Li Ergou were secretly astonished when they heard the amount of money involved in the treatment.
Even if it were your own child whose life was at stake, the cost of treatment would still be astronomical.
Not to mention the Shen family, whose financial situation was not good.
Shen Guihua felt that all the light in her world had been extinguished.
Su Niannian sat next to Song Zhaodi's hospital bed, watching the situation.
She also wanted to see what a woman trapped in a desperate situation would choose.
"You can consider it, after all, these surgeries are indeed a huge financial burden." The doctor understood Shen Guihua's despair.
He spoke.
This is something that even the doctor himself would find difficult to afford, let alone Shen Guihua.
After the doctor finished speaking, he nodded and turned to leave.
However, Shen Guihua stopped her.
The doctor turned around and looked at Shen Guihua, who was lying on the bed.
"These surgeries, these treatments you mentioned, can they not begin for at least a year and a half?" Shen Guihua asked the doctor.
The doctor nodded.
"The child is too young now; the main threat to his life is kidney problems."
"If you don't care about your child's appearance, the extra parts won't actually affect the child's survival."
"After all, the child still has two normal hands and two legs."
"The extra arm is like a superfluous growth, and the extra leg will affect the development of the normal legs later on, which may cause the child to wobble when walking."
"But it won't significantly affect lifespan," the doctor continued.
After Shen Guihua thanked the doctor, the doctor left the ward.
The ward fell silent again.
“Child, if you can’t bear to part with this child, then raise him until he’s three or four years old,” Shen Guihua’s mother said to Shen Guihua.
Shen Guihua's father did not express any opinion.
"The fastest surgery will be a year and a half later. According to the doctor, there should be a chance to treat the child's kidney disease before the age of three."
“Three years… I need to find a way to raise the money!” Shen Guihua suddenly said.
His eyes went from helpless to determined.
"A four-figure surgery fee... how are you going to raise the money?!"
“Even if I help you take care of the child, and you go out to earn money, even if you only earn a few dozen yuan a month, you still won’t have any chance of raising enough money for the surgery!” Shen Guihua’s mother said again.
This was undoubtedly a blow to Shen Guihua's hopes.
Shen Guihua also knew that for a woman with little education and no special skills, it was simply a pipe dream to earn so much money in three years.
However, once a woman becomes a mother, she is willing to try her best even if there is only the slightest glimmer of hope.
This is what a mother is like.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
Shen Guihua was willing to try anything, no matter how small the opportunity.
Otherwise, I might as well just die with my child!
She had never been so resolute in her entire life.
"Mom, maybe it's possible? Maybe I can save up this much money in three years?"
“I want to give it a try…” Shen Guihua said.
Shen Guihua's mother wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Shen Guihua's father.
"Anyway, you still have three years. If you want to give it a try, go ahead."
"I will try my best to help you save some money."
Shen Guihua's father began to speak.
Shen Guihua's mother was at a loss for words when she saw her husband and daughter saying this.
The surgery cost several thousand dollars and took three years.
This is simply impossible.
Shen Guihua was quite surprised to see that her father was actually on her side and supported her decision.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, the family's money, things, food, and everything else were always given to my younger brother.
The three daughters in the family all felt that their parents didn't love them.
This is also why, as the police officers told Shen Guihua, she hesitated when they notified her family.
Because in the eyes of the three Shen sisters, their family has never valued them.
Their existence was solely for the purpose of exchanging dowries for their younger brothers.
Shen Guihua, in particular, was only two years older than her younger brother, but she always gave everything to him.
She always felt that her parents didn't love her.
But at this moment, her father was actually willing to help her...
"Oh well, whatever you say goes. In the end, we won't save that much money anyway," Shen Guihua's mother said softly.
