Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198 Turning Danger into Safety 2

After about five days, the few doctors caring for Zhuangzhuang joyfully announced that he had escaped life-threatening danger.

"It’s okay now, it’s all right, Zhuangzhuang has turned the corner!" Lu Jiang, his face covered in stubble, gently patted his wife’s back.

"Really, it’s all right now?" Feng Qingxue clutched Lu Jiang’s sleeve.

Lu Jiang nodded emphatically, "Didn’t you just hear? Dr. Zhang said Zhuangzhuang is temporarily out of danger."

Dr. Zhang and Guo Xiuying said in unison, "Yes, he’s stabilized for now, there’s no immediate danger. Just listen to his breathing and his crying, it’s much better than when he was first brought in. Both of you take good care of the child, and call us immediately if there’s any problem."

Wang Sanbao rubbed her eyes, weary from several days and nights without sleep, "Thank heaven, thank goodness!"

They had finally snatched back this child’s little life from the hands of King Yama. In cases announced to be hopeless from the start, of which she had encountered many times in her life, rarely did a child have as strong a will to live as Zhuangzhuang.

Having a strong will to live was the unanimous thought of all the doctors and nurses present.

"Thank you, thank you... Thank you all for your dedication!" Aside from expressing gratitude, Feng Qingxue didn’t know what else to say.

"Although Zhuangzhuang is now out of danger, he still needs careful attention; we can’t discharge him just yet," Dr. Zhang told them and then sighed, "There are other sick children in other wards, we’re going over there now. A few children are in the same condition as Zhuangzhuang, one of them is physically stronger than Zhuangzhuang and is already on medication; we don’t know if he can pull through."

Not everyone has Zhuangzhuang’s luck, nor Feng Qingxue’s secret use of medicine that helped save his life.

Feng Qingxue sent Lu Jiang back home to check on their other four children’s conditions, while she stayed in the ward to look after Zhuangzhuang. As she was feeding Zhuangzhuang milk, she suddenly heard heart-wrenching cries from the next ward.

"Doctor, Dr. Zhang, please come quickly, come save my grandson!"

"Didn’t you use medicine? Didn’t you give medicine? Why’s the child out of breath, why, why?"

Feng Qingxue’s reaction was to hold Zhuangzhuang tightly in her arms, her body breaking out in a cold sweat.

In the evening, a young nurse came for the rounds and told Feng Qingxue, "That child was sent here from home just after birth, with a lung infection, having inhaled amniotic fluid. Such symptoms presented right after birth, just two days old."

"Is that the child Dr. Zhang was talking about?" Qingxue asked.

"Ah?" The nurse recalled what Dr. Zhang had said that day and shook her head, "No, that’s another one. The child’s mother gave birth at home, with his grandmother assisting. They only sent him to the hospital when they realized something was wrong with the child. Initially, he was already breathless; it was Sister Sanbao who suctioned out the mucus. The child Dr. Zhang mentioned this morning is also not in good condition, a few months old."

Feng Qingxue hugged Zhuangzhuang’s arm tighter and asked, "Working in pediatrics, do you often face such situations?"

The young nurse sighed, "We are accustomed to dealing with life and death. Before there were family members accompanying the troops here, we didn’t have a pediatric ward. Only after the number of children increased did we establish one, and that’s when I was assigned to pediatrics. You, sister-in-law, don’t usually come over to the pediatric ward, so you might not be aware that children are much harder to medicate than adults; they are too delicate and their mortality rate is higher."

The first time she was on duty, she faced an infant who had died just half a day after birth, a boy, lost due to exposure to the wind. Even though he was transferred from the maternity ward, they could not revive him.
