#Selfie My Story #My name is Liu Cuimei, Huaiyang County, Henan Province, 65 years old this year, I will struggle to carry my 9-year-old grandson to the treatment bed every day, help my grandson skillfully wrap paraffin on his legs, and then cover his legs wrapped in paraffin with his body, hoping that the temperature of paraffin will drop more slowly. These actions become more and more difficult for me day by day. And grandson Jiao Kaiser's treatment is not only this one.
From 8 a.m., massage, electrotherapy, moxibustion, language intervention, swallowing... The end of all treatments had reached after 5 p.m. At the end of the day's treatment, I have to prepare dinner and wash for my grandson. Every night after 8 o'clock, I can rest, and the busyness of the day makes me temporarily forget about my waist and leg pain. At this time, the pain in the body gradually became intense, and it was difficult to sleep.
My grandson Jiao Kaiser found that he had "congenital cerebral palsy" when he was one year old, at the beginning, my son Jiao Hui and daughter-in-law Wang Liping took their grandson to treatment, because the treatment cost of the grandson was too large, Jiao Hui went out to work to earn money, and the daughter-in-law Wang Liping caused schizophrenia due to long-term pressure, and the responsibility of taking care of the grandson fell to me.
Since Jiao Kaiser was 3 years old, I have been taking him to the hospital for treatment, and the hospital has gradually become the "home" of our grandchildren. Today, Jiao Kaiser is 9 years old, and his height is immediately as tall as mine. The grandson is growing up day by day, and he is getting older day by day, and I don't know how long I can hold on. As long as you are still alive, you must insist on treating your grandson, hoping that your grandson will be able to live and take care of himself in his lifetime, and nothing else is extravagant.
In January 2011, the arrival of grandson Jiao Kaiser added a lot of joy to our family. When Jiao Kaiser was one year old, his family found that he still could not sit and his leg muscles were very stiff. Jiao Hui and his son came to the Central Hospital of Zhoukou in Henan Province for examination, and the doctor diagnosed the child with "congenital cerebral palsy", and the family could not believe the results of this examination. With a glimmer of hope, Jiao Hui and his wife took their children to Zhengzhou Children's Hospital for examination the next day, and the final result was still not able to escape this doom. After accepting the fact that children have cerebral palsy, they begin their difficult recovery.
Jiao Hui and his wife took Jiao Kaize to Zhengzhou Children's Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University for treatment. In two years, more than 200,000 yuan has been spent, the family's savings have long been bottomed out, and relatives and friends can borrow what they can borrow. In desperation, Jiao Hui and his wife returned to Zhoukou with Jiao Kaize.
In order to continue the treatment of the child, Jiao Hui found a courier job to support the child's treatment and family expenses. Because of long-term pressure and insomnia all night long, the daughter-in-law was diagnosed with mental disorders in Zhoukou Psychiatric Hospital. Our couple could only bear the burden of taking our grandson Jiao Kaiser to the hospital for treatment.
In order to make my grandson get better quickly, I didn't know much of the word, and I accidentally saw an advertisement for a hospital in Beijing, which said that the hospital treated my grandson's illness very well, and I seemed to see a life-saving straw. After many nights, I decided to take my grandson to Beijing. The 60-year-old did not know where the courage came from, and came to the hospital in Beijing with his wife Jiao Yingshu.
After consultation, the doctor gave Jiao Kaiser a rib pulling operation, because of the high muscle tone, at first can not put his feet on the ground Jiao Kaiser, after a period of recovery after a period of surgery, the feet can be next to the ground, which makes our old two ecstatic, our efforts have finally been rewarded.
The grandson's operation cost more than 80,000 yuan, and the money he brought with him was used for the treatment of the grandson. In order to live in Beijing, my wife Jiao Yingshu took care of my grandson in the hospital during the day, and I went out to pick up waste to subsidize my life. But the money earned was so small that we spent two months in the hospital struggling to survive on steamed buns and porridge.
Because of overwork, his wife Jiao Yingshu had a heart attack. Doctors recommend that Jiao Yingshu have heart bypass surgery, otherwise it will be life-threatening. Jiao Yingshu finally underwent heart bypass surgery before he was able to escape. Jiao Yingshu's serious illness undoubtedly made the family worse, and more than 100,000 yuan of treatment and surgery fees were in vain. After the operation, the 62-year-old Jiao Yingshu's health was not as good as before, but for Jiao Kaiser's treatment, he did not want me to take care of it and lived alone in his hometown.
The heart of his son Jiao Hui is full of guilt, we should be the age to enjoy the old age, but we are still working for our children. He worked harder, but his efforts were far from enough to live an overdraft. Jiao Hui's job as a courier driver is only paid more than 4,000 yuan a month, which is insignificant in the face of a bunch of debts, children's treatment fees, and the medicine costs of his daughter-in-law and father. Sometimes, the pressure of life makes it difficult for Jiao Hui to breathe, but he can't let go, he has to take on the responsibility of being a son, husband and father, and no matter how difficult the road is, he has to go on.
After several years of rehabilitation, Jiao Kaiser was slowly able to walk on his feet, and his language also improved greatly. I am very pleased with these advances of my grandson. I hope to be able to see my grandson in his lifetime who can walk independently and take care of himself. The doctor said that Jiao Kaiser would have to undergo secondary surgery and postoperative rehabilitation treatment in the future. But we no longer have the money to operate on our children, so we have to postpone it again and again. On the road to rehabilitation for 8 years, the family has long been in debt. The cost of subsequent surgeries and rehabilitation is even more difficult for the family, and all of this is like a roadblock that prevents us from moving forward.
