Bai Ma Qiuxi is from Yushu, Qinghai, and her youngest daughter suffers from immune thrombocytopenia, and in order to treat her daughter, she spent all her savings, sold the house, and could not continue her previous work.
With the help of the Aiyou Charity Foundation, her daughter was treated, and she herself became a medical assistant and children's director of the foundation, running all day and taking Tibetan sick children from pastoral areas who said that many counties could not speak Chinese to the big city for medical treatment.
She can earn 80 yuan a day to support her daughter's treatment costs and living expenses; but the daughter feels that after doing this job, she has become the mother of those patients, no longer her own mother...
"Please, please." At the entrance of the cardiac surgery ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital of West China in Chengdu, Baima Qiuxi asked the security guard about the location of a doctor, and she rushed to take Ang Jiang, who suffered from congenital heart disease, to see a doctor.
Ang Giang not only suffers from heart disease, but also gallstones, and the recent pain is unbearable and requires surgery, but because heart disease increases the risk of surgery, it must first be evaluated by doctors in cardiac surgery and anesthesiology.
West China Hospital is the most authoritative general hospital in the southwest region, all department numbers are very tight, and patients are required to register online one day in advance, while the actual situation is that basically all popular departments need to make an appointment half a month in advance.
Most of the time, Baima could only take the children to try her luck. Affected by the epidemic in the past six months, chengdu health QR codes are needed to enter the hospital, and it is more difficult for many Tibetan compatriots who cannot even speak Chinese to see a doctor.
Renqing Songji's upper teeth are almost all wrapped in gums, and he has to go to the dental hospital every week for treatment and needs to be extracted. The tooth extraction is the most difficult, the doctor can't speak Khampa, Ren Qing Song and the grandmother who accompanied her to see the doctor do not speak Mandarin, and if Baima is not around, they are completely unable to communicate.
In addition to the problem of teeth, Renqing Songji also has bone and nerve problems, because there are some joint misalignments in nature, walking around like drunk, so there is a nickname called "drunkard".
Her neck is also often crooked to one side. After treatment at Huaxi Hospital, with the help of correction equipment, her movements gradually returned to normal.
Dolmanima's nose was missing a bone, and because of this defect, her memories were filled with the laughter of her classmates. Before the operation, she did not feel afraid, but very happy, she hoped that after the nose was normal, the classmates would no longer laugh at her and isolate her, and she could have friends.
Because of the epidemic, after being hospitalized, Baima could not accompany her, and could only communicate with Dolma Nyima through the window of the ward. Baima took Dolma Nyima through many hospitals, some of which were pushed off because the operation was too small, and others made her wait for half a year to come back. Eventually, Huaxi's doctors agreed to operate on her.
In the hospital hall, Baima was dressing a child. According to the foundation's requirements, her work is to help children and parents of children in Tibetan areas go out to see a doctor, such as helping them with language barriers to book tickets, arrange accommodation, register, translate their conditions and diagnose doctors.
Because she had taken her daughter around for medical treatment, she knew the hardships involved, so she would take care of these children in need as if they were her own children.
In addition to taking the children to see a doctor, baima also has to take care of her fellow villagers everywhere in life. On a trip at the end of July, Baima brought parents and children a total of twelve people from Yushu to Chengdu, out of consideration of economic pressure, they chose the slowest train and car, spent two or three days on the road, transiting in Xining, it was August when she arrived in Chengdu, after staying in the hotel, she immediately took the parents and children out to buy vegetables and meat.
After buying vegetables, Baima will also choose some fruits for the children. Tibetans in the plateau, especially in pastoral areas, have no conditions and no habit of eating fruit. Baima wanted them to be more nutritious, so that it would be more conducive to treatment.
The cheap hotel near Huaxi Hospital became a temporary home for Baima and his fellow villagers. In the past two years, Baima has changed many hotels, and it is not easy to find a good price, and it is not easy to be hygienic and clean. In May, she and the children were picked up by the owner of another hotel because the children were too noisy, affecting the other guests.
At dinner, Renzen gyuma suddenly had a headache, and he covered his eyes with his hands. Before coming to Chengdu, the family thought he had cataracts, but after examination at West China Hospital, he found that he had mild posterior sclera staphyloema in his left eye, and the tumor caused blindness in his left eye and also affected the brain, so he would have intermittent headaches.
Renzen Gyuma did not know that the tumor in his left eye could not be removed, and the risk of future survival would gradually increase with age. Because of his intermittent headaches and blindness, he is introverted and rarely smiles.
A girl with severe epilepsy had just gone to sleep after falling ill, and Baima was lying on the table filling out the materials. In order to be able to take care of the sick child at all times, she and the girl live in the same room.
After nose surgery, Dolmanima is ready to leave Chengdu with her father, and they are going to return to the agricultural area of their hometown called Duo County. Before she was always ridiculed by her classmates because of the problem of her nose, she had no friends, her parents were divorced, her life was very lonely, and she was accompanied by Baima and other children in Chengdu, so she was a little reluctant to leave.
One Sunday, Baima had little free time, and she took her three children to play in a water park in Chengdu. Although there is a Sanjiangyuan Conservation Area in many counties, the water temperature is cold all year round, and these children have never played in the swimming pool before. Baima led them carefully into the pool, and they stared at the surface of the water, step by step tentatively.
In Yushu, Qinghai, Baima's daughter Jiang Yongguan took a neighbor's car to go to school. Before her daughter fell ill, although Baima divorced her husband, the money earned by doing the cordyceps business and work was enough to raise two children and live a peaceful and happy life; until two years ago, the 8-year-old daughter Jiang Yongguanzhuo suddenly suffered from immune thrombocytopenia, and in order to treat the child, they went to Xining, Chengdu, Chongqing, Beijing, and Shanghai, and spent all their savings.
Later, the money was not enough, and Baima sold the house. The houses near the school were relatively new and the rent was expensive, so she had to rent a dilapidated house far from the school for the elderly and children, with a monthly rent of 500.
Grandma brought butter tea to Jiang Yong to see Zhuo to drink. After Bai Ma became the assistant doctor and child director, Jiang Yong saw Zhuo and his grandmother relying on each other for their lives. Grandma asks Baima to earn medical expenses for the child, and she is responsible for taking care of the child at home.
"Will I die too?" When she was hospitalized, Jiang Yongzhuo had seen the death of a patient in the same ward of the hematology department, and these dark memories had always affected her, and after being discharged from the hospital, she always couldn't help but ask her family like this.
Grandma didn't know how to comfort her, and could only chant, "One in the family is sick and one is old." Every time he said this, he couldn't help crying, and Jiang Yong looked at Zhuo and hugged his grandmother to comfort her.
The lights at home are cheap energy-saving lamps and dim yellow tungsten lamps, and it hurts to read books, and Jiang Yong looks at Zhuo and simply uses a charging LED flashlight to write homework. She did not dare to ask her mother to buy a lamp, because there were too many places in the family to spend money.
Previously, because she was not in good health, the teacher did not want her to go to school, and she had to go to cram school alone. After recently stabilizing her condition, Baima went to the Education Bureau to apply several times, and her daughter had the opportunity to go back to school. Bai Ma is very proud of her daughter's academic performance, and although Jiang Yongguan zhuo has delayed her studies for two years due to illness, she can still rank at the top of the class in the exam.
Jiang Yong looked at Zhuo and wanted his mother to accompany him. She said in a childish voice: Without her mother going to work, she can earn her own money. But Baima did not dare to stop for a moment, she knew her daughter's thoughts about herself, and she was also worried about her mother who was getting old, but she needed money for treatment and life, and she could only choose to leave her daughter at home first and carry the weight forward.
In addition to Baima, there are many child welfare directors who take on the role of "parents", so that every child in need of help has food, clothing, and care.
