Chapter 145 Sixteen Reports of Liu Hong (1)

Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 2:03 AM Subject: Sixteen Reports by Liu Hong everyone, Friends have sent letters and calls to inquire one after another, and I know it has been too long since I have reported to you.I always want to wait for good news before reporting. However, we have had a hard time for more than a month. The platelets have not improved so far. For example, today it is only 7000, and the lowest was 4000 last week.During this period, Ziyou had constant physical abnormalities, such as allergies, nosebleeds, bleeding spots on his body, headaches, inability to eat, etc., and there was even an accidental danger.More and more, though, we learn to enjoy the good in the midst of difficulty.Because Xiyuan Hospital is close to home, I go there every morning and go home if there are no special circumstances.Therefore, being able to stay at home is happier than being in the hospital; it is a good thing to be able to extend the interval between platelet transfusions by one day; eating more when the appetite is good, and walking a few more steps when we have physical strength make us happy.Not only that, but we also like Tianqing and Tianlan very much.Many friends wrote to suggest taking traditional Chinese medicine.Yes, we have been taking Chinese medicine.To help him improve his platelets, the doctors added two kinds of western medicine. I was always worried about taking it, but it was difficult to persist and the side effects were serious, so I asked to stop it earlier.These drugs are for immune-induced thrombocytopenia.There has been no conclusion as to whether Ziyou's immune problems or chemotherapy problems.Clinically, treatment is usually tested.But I still think it is caused by chemotherapy.Later, many items related to immunity were tested by Xiehe Hospital, all of which were negative.

On the bright side, Zi You's hair has grown back.Because it is also caused by chemotherapy and cannot be recovered for a long time, so I think that if the hair grows, the platelets may also grow.It used to be that the size of the red blood cells was large, but now it returns to normal, that is to say, among the white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets in the blood, only the platelets have not recovered.Let's keep going.According to American oncologists, there will always be recovery in the end, and it may take a long time.The difficult thing is to take care of him during this period of low platelets.Now that we are almost four months post-chemo, we look forward to the turning point.At present, his weight has risen to 60 kilograms, which is the weight when he first became ill in March.Every day, I will get care, greetings and help from friends.When a person is inevitably overwhelmed, there are always friends to help me.For example, Liu Yan, Dan Yun, and Jingsheng sent cars for consultations with doctors from different hospitals; Han Xing did it for Xiehe to send blood for testing and get the results.Brother Zhu Zhenglin is concerned about our platelet count every time.We are always moved by these precious friendships and are willing to convey this beautiful feeling.I just read an article on the Internet, saying: "Maybe all of us lack a social awareness of caring for each other, and also lack the social existence of interaction." Actually it is not.For example, we live in a very warm family.Although the two of us may be the only ones dealing with the pain, mentally, there are countless threads holding us together.Our sincere friends come from all over the world, there are Chinese and foreigners; there are old people and children; there are my childhood partners, classmates from primary school, university, and graduate school; colleagues from my previous work units; and Ziyou’s classmates and teachers , parents; and many strangers, friends of friends... I even have a feeling that it is precisely some people with "senior" or "noble" titles in this society who lack emotion and care.Because he (she) is accustomed to "correct" and indifferent professional speech, the person who talks the most about "humanistic care" may be the least caring about people in life. Among them, there is only abstract "humanistic care". ", but no specific person; when he (she) entered the society to gain fame, he (she) discarded the simplicity and covered up the soft emotion in the depths of human nature; their social interaction was only between "identity" and "identity", It is not the communication between people. Over time, I am lonely and indifferent, and mistakenly think that all living beings are like this.This warm feeling is not only experienced by ourselves, but also seen by us.How much family affection and fun there is in the ward!Every time Ziyou transfers to a hospital, he misses the hospital he went to, and misses what he saw and heard there.Ziyou's life is still full.During this period of time, we wrote calligraphy together and read the English version of the Bible with great interest.Right now he is reading a martial arts novel written by Wang Zheng (the grandson of Wang Shixiang), a young man of his age, and wants to write a book review. In the first half of November, "Poetry Magazine" published three poems by Ziyou, two old works, respectively written at the age of 9 and 12, and one written after illness.This is the first time his poems have "entered the classroom". He was quite critical of the current situation of free verse. After reading Li Qingzhao's "On Ci", he wrote a "On Free Poetry".Today he proposed to read Qing history, because he was conceiving a novel in his mind.These are all casual and fun.
