People's Daily health client reporter Wang Aibing
"This afternoon, we received a notice that the 200,000 yuan donation we raised has been in place, and I am ready to go home immediately and take my two children to the hospital for treatment." On March 28, the premature twins' lives were hanging on the line, and the father's tearful choice was on the hot search, and the People's Daily health client reporter contacted the father of the two children, Li Zheng (pseudonym), who told reporters.
Li Zheng and his wife have a difficult choice in the hospital, the interviewee provided a picture.
"Since the birth of two children, we have spent 300,000 yuan minus the money reimbursed by medicare." Li Zheng sighed a lot when he said this, so there was a scene outside the neonatal intensive care unit of Zhengzhou Children's Hospital, Li Zheng used "casting lots" to choose the life and death of two children, "I also had to do it, because I really had no money at that time." ”
On December 20, 2021, Li Zheng's wife gave birth to twin sons prematurely after 6 months of pregnancy. "Because they were very low birth weight premature babies, the two children were born with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal sepsis, respiratory failure, congenital pneumonia and other symptoms." Li Zheng introduced that as a result, the two children were sent to the neonatal intensive care unit for monitoring and treatment as soon as they were born.
"At that time in the hospital, it cost 48,000 yuan in just 3 days, because the child's various symptoms were aggravated, the hospital suggested transferring to a higher-level hospital for treatment, and then transferred to Zhengzhou Children's Hospital for treatment." After arriving at the hospital, the doctor said the two children needed to be treated in the intensive care unit for 3 months. Li Zheng said helplessly that in order to treat the child, they even sold the family's old house.
Because Li Zheng and his wife could not choose, they "decided" through the lottery to continue to treat the boss and let the second brother go home, "Although, we let the second brother out of the hospital, but we did not give up on him when we went home, and we have been giving him medicine and oxygen." Li Zheng said that because of the early discharge, the second elder had hemangiomas, severe anemia, generalized edema and other symptoms at home.
"Because there was no money for treatment, the eldest was discharged from the hospital after 10 days, and now the two children are caring for and treating themselves at home, and the only things that keep them alive are oxygen inhalers and drugs." Li Zheng said that what bothered him the most now was that the multiple symptoms of the two children were more serious, and the doctor told us that if we did not treat them in time, both children might be in danger of life.
However, on the afternoon of the 28th, Li Zheng received the good news that the donations had been in place, and Li Zheng, who had been outside in order to earn life-saving money for the two children, also decided to go home as soon as possible and arrange for the two children to be admitted to the hospital again, "I feel particularly sorry for them, because there is no money, we can't give them the best treatment, but next, we will do our best to let them get the best treatment." Li Zheng said.
