On the evening of September 11, 2021, the door of the intensive care unit of the hospital was closed, and I sat in a wheelchair separated by two blurry glass doors, looking inside, maybe I could see my daughter earlier. I vividly remember that when my daughter was born 6 years ago, I was also standing outside the door of the hospital's baby room, looking inside through the transparent glass. That little, tender daughter was so cute. As a father, I only hope that my children can grow up healthy and happy, but now all this beauty is shattered, my daughter is still rescuing, and even listening to a 'daddy' has become a luxury. "The picture shows me sitting in the doorway of the intensive care unit.
My name is Xu Lifang, and I have a wife who loves me and two lovely daughters. Still rescuing at the ICU is my eldest daughter Xu Muqing, our family of four has been living a plain life, although not rich but very happy. But who would have thought that the gears of fate's tragedy would inadvertently turn to us. The picture shows a pair of my daughters.
In 2017, I was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. In order to treat me, my wife took out all the family's savings, borrowed money everywhere, and had huge dialysis treatments and drug treatments, which almost crushed our small family, which was not rich in the first place. This sudden illness made my parents much older, made my wife bend a little more waist, and my two daughters became more well-behaved and sensible. Fortunately, with the encouragement of my family and the donations and help of caring people from all walks of life, I survived. For the sake of my wife who will not abandon my illness, for the sake of my two young daughters, for the sake of the caring people who have reached out to me, I must work harder to overcome the disease. The picture shows the wife and the young daughter together.
However, fate obviously did not spare us, and disaster once again befell our already devastated family. On the evening of September 11, 2021, I rode an electric tricycle with my wife and two daughters on xinxian County Road in Cuishan County, which was normally driven from west to east, and in an instant, a Mercedes-Benz car sped in from behind and knocked us away. My poor eldest daughter Xu Muqing was unconscious on the spot, and the second daughter was bleeding profusely. My brain went blank, and I called the emergency phone with a trembling instinct to survive. The picture shows the wife and young daughter after the accident.
After arriving at Zhumadian Central Hospital, the eldest daughter was immediately sent to the intensive care unit for rescue, and the second daughter was not only traumatized in the head (more than a dozen stitches), but also suffered gastrointestinal bleeding. In addition to this, my right hand was fractured and my wife also had a few stitches from her head injury. Still, my wife and I were afraid to be hospitalized because we ran out of savings. We traveled around, and after asking relatives and friends again, we borrowed the hospital expenses to maintain the treatment of our eldest daughter. The picture shows the eldest daughter after being injured.
As a father, I longed for the person lying in the rescue room to be me, and it was I who was hurt; as a husband, I only hated to let my wife hurt myself and do nothing about it. Obviously, whether it's the role of father or husband, I'm a failure. Due to the serious condition of the eldest daughter, we hurriedly transferred the child to the Zhengda First Affiliated Hospital for severe illness, and the hospital diagnosed that the hospital diagnosis was: open head injury medium size, subarachnoid hemorrhage, right temporal bone, left parietal skull fracture. The doctor and my wife and I said that the daughter's situation is not optimistic, the later stage will be paralyzed to a large extent, the rehabilitation cycle is long, and the follow-up treatment needs at least three or four hundred thousand, which is simply an astronomical number for a family like ours, and my wife and I feel deeply desperate.
To make matters worse, the hospital's incessant reminders of payment were like a sharp knife cut through my heart. Looking at our eldest daughter who was still in a coma, my wife and I were very anxious in our hearts, and we did not hesitate to give up our lives, and we also wanted to see the child smile at us again. My sensible little daughter just started asking me frequently, "Why has my sister been sleeping, and when can I play with her?" "When she was young, she saw that I had a lot more gray hair, and my mother sobbed quietly in the middle of the night, and now she gradually became silent.
I even wondered if my daughters hadn't been born into such a family, if I hadn't been sick four years ago, their lives would have been happier. Thinking of what our daughter looked like when she was born, and seeing how she looks now unconscious, my wife and I couldn't help but cry with headaches. Who can wake up my poor child, who can help us in this crumbling family. If you want to help this child please contact the author.
