Can a vegetative person be awakened?
Yes, but the probability is extremely low, only half of the people can regain some degree of consciousness after half a year, the longer the time, the lower the probability.
Can a vegetative person conceive and have a baby?
Theoretically, yes, in fact, the probability is very low, and it is even more miraculous to give birth to a healthy baby.
But these two miracles happened to Zhang Rongxiang!
Not only was she 10 months pregnant in a vegetative state and gave birth to a healthy baby, but she was miraculously awakened two years later!
Is this a miracle of medicine or a call of affection? How did Zhang Rongxiang do this?
A car accident that shatters a family
December 1, 2010, Hospital Emergency Department.
"Quick! fast! ”
"Let's go, let's go!"
This is the scene of the hospital's car accident patient rescue, and the couple who were sent were Gao Dejin and Zhang Rongxiang.
Rewind the time half an hour ago.
On this day, Gao Dejin took his wife Zhang Rongxiang and his two-year-old daughter to his wife's mother's house, where north-south and east-west cars crashed together at an intersection next to a local industrial park.
KoDgkin drives an electric tricycle that travels from south to north.
A car was traveling from east to west, and because of its speed, it was too late to brake when it was too late to find danger.
Gao Dejin's tricycle was knocked over, the husband and wife on the car were thrown far away, out of instinctive reaction, Zhang Rongxiang threw the child in his arms into the grass in front of him, fortunately, the grass grew luxuriantly, and the little daughter was not a big problem.
The couple was not so lucky, and both fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, it was the hospital, and Gao Dejin woke up to see the doctor stunned, and then looked again, and did not see his wife within the range, he hurriedly asked" Doctor, where is my wife, do you know?" ”
The doctor sighed slightly: "She is still in the rescue, but don't worry too much, we will do our best." ”
Gao Dejin's condition is not very good, half of the bones in the body are damaged, ribs, collarbone, leg bones are fractured, requiring a long period of rest.
As the doctor said, the condition of his wife Zhang Rongxiang was even worse, she was diagnosed with primary brainstem injury, severe head injury, brain contusion, all injured in the brain, the danger to life has not been lifted.
According to the doctor, the most important thing is that in the next three months, if you can survive, you can survive, but in a vegetative state; on the contrary, if you don't survive, you may be in danger of life.
The probability of Zhang Rongxiang's situation surviving is only 7%.
"Dad, what should I do about this?" The eldest daughter of 17 years old, Gao Yun, who came from home, cried and could not breathe, at this time she was only a high school student, and she could not accept such a big change in the family for a while.
Gao Dejin was very distressed, but he didn't even want to say: "Treatment, must cooperate with the doctor's treatment, this family can not be scattered!" ”
For Kodekin, even if there is only a 1% survival rate, he must fight hard to fight for the greatest hope for his wife.
In order to raise the cost of treatment, he made a claim against the owner of the car, according to the investigation of the traffic police at the scene, the responsibilities of both sides are equal, but the owner of the other car heard about the plight of their family and offered some financial help, which made the Gao Dejin family moved.
In order to better treat his wife and give his wife more hope for life, Gao Dejin only underwent the most basic treatment to ensure that he could live, and then left all the money saved to his wife.
At that time, he was seriously edema, wait until it was better, he had surgery, he was treated for 3 days after the operation, and his family could not be cured, "I am not cured, I can live, my wife is not necessarily yet." ”
Next, he took care of Zhang Rongxiang with his daughter in the hospital, and it is not known whether the next three months will be a blessing or a curse.
Defeat Death
"Brother-in-law, you quickly push me over, let me see it, I am really uneasy in my heart!"
Holding a sealed notice of critical illness in his hand, Gao Dejin's heart hurt like a needle, and he was really anxious, so he begged his brother-in-law to take him to see it.
The brother-in-law is also very helpless, not that he does not want to push Dejin past, but his own condition is still so unstable, and he is even more anxious to catch fire when he goes to see it.
He tried to persuade Gao Dejin, but was interrupted by Gao Dejin impatiently, "I must go to see it today, you don't push me, I will climb over by myself!" ”
"Okay, I'll push you over now."
The brother-in-law used a stretcher cart to push Gao Dejin to the department where his wife Zhang Rongxiang was located.
When he arrived at the ward, he saw that his wife was still unconscious, surrounded by doctors examining, this man who never shed tears easily covered his eyes and cried, and the silent trembling was even more painful.
The brother-in-law gently patted him on the back and gently comforted him.
After a while, When Gao Dejin saw that the doctor had finished his examination, he quickly wiped his eyes and asked the doctor: "Doctor, how is my wife and her?" ”
Because of the results of the doctor's mouth, his voice trembled when he said this.
"It's okay, this time the danger is gone, don't be nervous, the current situation is still stable, look in a good direction."
The doctor also tried his best to comfort Gao Dejin, at least for now, Zhang Rongxiang's condition has not deteriorated, which is a good thing.
"Hey, hey, thank you doctor, thank you!"
The bone wounds on Gao Dejin's own body were not good, it was very difficult to walk, and it was also very painful, but in order to see his wife more, he bought a pair of crutches, no longer bothered his brother-in-law to push himself, and when he had time, he would go by himself.
He usually lived in the hospital building, and his wife was in the next building, he wanted to see his wife when he went on crutches, although with the blessing of the crutch, he drilled the pain of his heart every time he moved his body, this pain made him have a brief trance, but it was fleeting, and the next moment the man gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
In the short distance between the two buildings, he seemed to have stepped out of the distance between life and death.
He was too afraid, afraid that his wife would leave directly in a coma, afraid that there would be no more of her in this family.
In his consciousness, there are generally some signs before a person dies, so almost every day he will go to see his wife to see if her face is better, or as long as it is not a little worse, he is willing to guard her all the time.
Soon three months of time passed in their worries, one after another of the critical illness notices, again and again to turn the crisis into safety, Zhang Rongxiang was about to cross the threshold of life from death.
But just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, on the last day of the March period, Zhang Rongxiang had another change.
That night, Zhang Rongxiang suddenly convulsed, and the doctor rushed to the rescue.
In fact, in the face of such a scene, the family almost tacitly agreed that Zhang Rongxiang could not survive this pass, and even the shou clothes were ready.
But Outside the operating room, Gao Dejin did not say anything about their ideas, he just believed that his wife still had hope, there must be!
After more than an hour, the door of the rescue room opened, and the doctor was tired and happy to announce that Zhang Rongxiang was out of danger and saved.
Gao Dejin wept with joy again, as if he had seen the scene of their family reunion.
Vegetative people conceive and give birth
The doctor's three-month deadline has passed, and Zhang Rongxiang has miraculously survived the crisis, and the next day the doctor is ready to conduct a physical examination of her to check for hidden dangers.
The results of the examination were once again shocking!
Zhang Rongxiang, a vegetative person, is pregnant for more than three months, and it is estimated that the time is less than a month before the car accident.
Because Zhang Rongxiang has been surviving in a vegetative state after the car accident, neither husband nor wife knows that she is pregnant.
To say that in fact, there are already some signs now, such as Zhang Rongxiang's stomach can see a slight bulge, since becoming a vegetative person, her weight has changed from 120 pounds to more than 70 pounds today, and her stomach is more obvious.
After hearing this news, Gao Dejin's first reaction was whether the safety of his wife would cause damage, which was undoubtedly true.
Even if it is a normal pregnant woman, the pregnancy in October is very hard, let alone a vegetative person, her nutrition is only enough to supply her own needs, and now there are more children, so these nutrients are not enough to supply the two of them, which will affect the mother.
There is also a fatal problem, the probability of a child being born healthy is not high, and they will be exposed to various drugs and radiation during treatment, which will also affect the child.
Do you want to keep this child?
Attending physicians and obstetricians have different perspectives.
The attending physician recommends termination of pregnancy because the probability of a healthy birth is unlikely, and the mother suffers in the process.
Obstetricians believe that terminating a pregnancy is more harmful to the mother, not to mention that she is a vegetative person, and normal people can also be dangerous in terminating pregnancy.
For such a vegetative person, the termination of pregnancy may be life-threatening.
Listening to the doctor's analysis, Kodekin no longer tangled, and he decisively chose to leave the child behind.
If nothing else, but because the wife faces less danger and has a higher probability of survival.
Hearing her father's decision, Gao Yun supported her father, saying that she could give up her current student life and take care of the family, and she would take on this responsibility.
"Dad, we take care of my mother and sister together, and maybe my future siblings, I can, you can rest assured."
What this sentence means to a high school student, dad understands, he feels that he is so sorry for his daughter, who gave up on what could have been a better life.
"Daddy I'm sorry for you!"
Gaudekin cried as he spoke, and he felt sorry that he could not support the family.
Gao Yun gently patted his father's arm to show comfort.
After making a decision, Gao Dejin and his daughter returned home with Zhang Rongxiang, because the treatment of these months had already spent their family's savings, and the current wife's stable condition, taking her home for recuperation might better wake her up.
It just so happened that during this time, his family was facing demolition and could not be inhabited, and their special family lived in the town everywhere, and each family could only live for a few days, otherwise they would be rejected by others.
Sometimes they would sleep in the garage for a night, facing the cold eyes of others, their father and daughter did not take it seriously, as long as Zhang Rongxiang could be well, they did not mind anything, they were not afraid of anything.
As the days went by, Zhang Rongxiang's condition was indeed very stable, she had not encountered any danger, and it was gratifying that her belly was getting bigger day by day, which made the Gaodejin father and daughter family inexplicably believe that Zhang Rongxiang would be able to give birth to a child smoothly.
Sure enough, the day came calmly.
Gao Dejin had something to do this day, Gao Yun accompanied her mother at home, she found that her mother was actually urinating and incontinence today, she was a little panicked at first, I don't know if there were any bad symptoms, but soon a thought suddenly flashed, she realized that maybe her mother was going to give birth!
She quickly called Gao Dejin, and the father and daughter took the person to the hospital.
The maternity hospital saw that it was a vegetative pregnant woman, and the doctors were shocked, and there were only two or three cases of vegetative pregnant women in the country, and there was almost no mature experience to refer to.
But at this point, doctors can only rely on past experience to perform surgery.
In the end, more than an hour of arduous waiting was exchanged for a good news: the operation was successful, and the mother and child were safe!
Zhang Rongxiang gave birth to a boy with 5 pounds and 6 weights.
At this moment, Gao Dejin felt that all his waiting and persistence was worth it, fortunately he persevered, and he felt that he was the happiest person.
Later, this special family lived a warm and uneventful life, and Gao Dejin said that whether his wife could wake up or not, the family would guard her and accompany her.
Every morning, Gao Dejin and the eldest daughter Gao Yun are busy together, and over the years of cooperation, they have a tacit understanding, Gao Yun cooks, Gao Dejin feeds, and they scrub Zhang Rongxiang's body together.
After eating, Gao Yun was still busy taking care of his newborn brother and sister who was a few years old, although he was tired, but looking at the smiles on their faces, Gao Yun felt that everything was worth it.
At the same time, under the doctor's instructions, the father and daughter talked to Zhang Rongxiang every day when they fed her, hoping to wake zhang Rongxiang.
Every day, Kodekin tells his wife about the growth of their young son.
"Today, The Gift looks taller."
"Today, this kid eats a lot, you know, he comes to see you every day and asks me when you wake up?"
......
Although he did not hear his wife's response every day, Kodekin was not disappointed, he only wanted to share this joy with his wife.
Unexpectedly, one day, he was talking to his wife, and her wife actually spoke!
That day, as always, he and his wife talked about the changes in Tianzi: "Now that Tianzi can walk, how can you continue to sleep?" Hurry up, ah. ”
Originally did not expect his wife to return to him, who knew that this time his wife began to speak: "I am fine." ”
Although the voice was still a little vague, Gao Dejin was still very excited, and he had waited for a day for too long.
It is known that half of vegetative people can react to the outside world within half a year, and as this time increases, the probability of having a reaction will become lower and lower.
Zhang Rongxiang has been 2 years away from becoming a vegetative person, her children are more than 1 year old, it is no exaggeration to say that this is really a miracle!
Nowadays, the family lives happily together, sometimes Tianzi will feed his mother mouth-to-mouth, he also likes to stay with his mother, and can bring a lot of happiness to the family every day.
With the company of her family, Zhang Rongxiang feels very happy, her state is getting better, although it cannot fully return to the way it was before, but for Gao Dejin, he is already very grateful for this now, and they cherish the ordinary and warm days now.
I hope their family's life is getting better and better.
