The eighty-year-old mother-in-law had just walked out of the house after six o'clock at dinner on Wednesday, her legs were weak and she fell to the ground and suffered a stroke, and her left limb would not move. We were still shocked to get the news, and last Thursday we accompanied the old lady to Wudang Mountain to make a wish. After driving for more than two hours overnight to rush back to her hometown, I saw that her consciousness was still relatively clear, and I felt a little relieved.
The doctor did a brain CT and angiography, telling her that the lung cancer had metastasized to the brain, and that there were tumors and cerebral thrombuses in it, and the fastest way was to buy time to get the thrombus for surgery. Due to the small size of the hospital, the doctor suggested that we be transferred and helped to contact the hospital.
We sat in the ambulance and felt the cold outside at 11 o'clock in the evening, and the mood was urgent faster than the speed of the car. The mother-in-law's only moving right hand is constantly circling up and down, the fingers do not know when to tightly grasp a small white piece of paper, sometimes the corners of the eyes are silently weeping, it is estimated that the heart is clear, for a while can not accept the fact that the body will not suddenly move.
I gently held her left hand with my hand, feeling her temperature, making her feel that it was not so frightening to have someone with her. The car was speeding, and I felt that what I was holding in my hand was not a finger, but a real life, fast or slow.
After more than an hour of rapid bumps, we arrived at our destination at 12:00 a.m., and when we were admitted to the ward, my mother-in-law was still incoherently saying her name and making the sound of "making a bracket." After a re-examination by the doctor on duty, in view of her too many underlying diseases and the high risk of surgery, the doctor recommended conservative treatment.
During the day the next day, her coma was intermittent due to the edema of her head. At one o'clock in the afternoon, my son called and said that he and his aunt had booked a ticket and would come back immediately. She seemed to hear it, and her mouth uttered "Buy, buy vegetables, make food for them, give them." We are very sad to hear that this is the Chinese parents, they can't eat themselves, and they still think about their children and grandchildren.
When people reach middle age, we often feel that our emotions are more and more closed and numb, and our thinking is becoming more and more rational and calm, and we will not be easily intimidated by sadness and difficulty, but we will always be moved to tears by warm and soft emotions.
I think of my mother-in-law's youth as a rural women's cadre, but also a temper called chirping and fierce acute son; I think of her middle-aged children to go to school "MengMu Three Migrations", there is no land to lead the family to open up the wilderness and cultivate the land; I think of her old age and still accompany her three grandchildren to accompany her to school; I think of her and her mother in the family of the eldest brother and sister-in-law for more than ten years, without extraordinary wisdom and massive heart can not do; remember her strong anti-cancer for more than a year, but also take the initiative to encourage and share the patients' own psychological process ~ ~~
But such a kind and brave strong woman, the years of time suddenly knocked her down, how helpless and sad she should be in her heart. I always felt that death was far away from us, because there were parents who had been there to block us, but now it felt so close and within reach.
Doctors said her brain edema had a 7-10-day regression period, which was a crucial period in her duel with the death race. I hope that the old lady, who has always been tough and strong, can overcome the disease, extend the length of her life, and become her own ferryman. Our children and grandchildren are praying for her in their hearts, may she be invincible and invincible, bless God to continue to give her a little gift of life time, may the mountains and rivers be unharmed and boundless, and strive to be able to be healthy and healthy as soon as possible, and everything will be as usual!
