Chapter 1072 Linlin is discharged from the hospital
Lawrence looked at the bowl of dark brown liquid medicine and frowned slightly. The unique smell of Chinese medicine was a little difficult for him to get used to.
Although Chen Yang had prescribed Chinese herbal decoctions for Lawrence when he was in New York, it was still difficult for someone who had never had much contact with Chinese herbal decoctions to adapt.
Lawrence drank it sip by sip, and finally drank it all in one breath with his head tilted back.
The medicine tastes extremely bitter at first, but has a sweet and spicy aftertaste.
Everyone held their breath and watched Lawrence's reaction.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Half an hour later, Lawrence suddenly moved slightly.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Pierce asked nervously.
Lawrence waved his hand, a strange expression on his face: "It seems... there is a warm feeling in my stomach."
After a while, Lawrence suddenly felt the urge to urinate.
After monitoring, Pierce found that Lawrence's urine volume this time was significantly higher than in the previous few days.
On the monitor, the blood oxygen saturation value slowly rose from 92% to 93%. Although the increase was not large, it was a positive signal!
The heart rate also dropped from 105 beats per minute to 100 beats per minute.
Pierce looked at Chen Yang in surprise.
Chen Yang just nodded slightly, as if everything was as expected: "The medicine has taken effect. Continue to observe and record the intake and output."
Over the next two days, the conversion plan progressed steadily despite being on thin ice.
As you take Chinese medicine, you should gradually reduce the amount of Western medicine you take until you stop taking it completely.
The process has not been smooth sailing.
On the afternoon of the same day when the dose of a vasodilator was reduced, Lawrence's blood pressure transiently increased to 160/95 mmHg, accompanied by a mild headache.
Pierce's team suddenly became a little nervous and suggested restoring the original dosage.
You know, Lawrence's condition has always been maintained by Western medicine. Even after Chen Yang prescribed Chinese medicine in New York, the Western medicine was not stopped.
This time, Pierce must be a little nervous about stopping all medication.
"Don't worry, Dr. Pierce. This is a normal reaction of the body as it adjusts to the new treatment model. It's a sign of the return of Yang Qi, stimulating Qi and blood to break through stagnation. There's no need for excessive intervention; we should take advantage of the situation."
Chen Yang made slight adjustments to the original prescription, adding 15g of Gastrodia elata and 15g of Uncaria rhynchophylla to calm the liver and suppress yang, and relieve headaches.
At the same time, Chen Yang asked Li Chengjie, who was in charge of acupuncture, to increase the needling technique at Taichong acupoint.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Lawrence's blood pressure gradually stabilized and his headache disappeared.
This small setback actually gave Pierce's team a more intuitive understanding of Chen Yang's judgment and the fine-tuning of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
Three days later, the first phase of the conversion was initially completed. Lawrence stopped taking more than half of his Western medicines and relied entirely on Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
Surprisingly, Lawrence's condition not only did not worsen, but showed initial improvement. The edema in his lower limbs subsided a little, the number of times he woke up at night due to suffocation decreased, his appetite improved, and the BNP index showed a downward trend for the first time!
Although the improvement is not significant, it undoubtedly gives a shot in the arm to all those who are worried.
.......
Before we knew it, Linlin had been at Kyoto International Medical Center for more than a month, and it was already late November.
Today is the day Linlin is discharged from the hospital.
"Hanhan, goodbye."
"Goodbye, uncle and aunt."
Linlin waved to Hanhan, Chen Yang and Wen Manlu.
"Goodbye, Linlin."
Hanhan also waved her hand, very reluctant to leave: "Come and play with me when you have time."
"Uh-huh."
Linlin nodded: "I'm well now, so I can go back to school. I'll come play with you during the holidays."
The two children are not very clear now how far apart they are, nor do they know how difficult it will be to meet again.
After this separation, it will be almost impossible for the two of them to meet again. Perhaps this separation will be forever.
There are always many passers-by in a person's life, childhood playmates, schoolmates, or first love when one first falls in love...
However, as children, Hanhan and Linlin don’t understand these things yet.
"Dr. Chen, Dr. Wen, thank you."
Xu Xiuxiu bowed deeply to Chen Yang and Wen Manlu.
"You're welcome. Be careful on the road."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Go back and take the medicine according to the prescription. Pay more attention. Although you have been discharged from the hospital, you still need to recuperate for a while."
"Ah."
Xu Xiuxiu's family of three got into the car under the watchful eyes of Chen Yang and Wen Manlu and headed for Kyoto Airport.
After being in Kyoto for so many days, Linlin recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and they could finally go home.
Many foreigners do not quite understand the Chinese people's obsession with "going home".
Going home means stability and peace of mind.
Whether you are sick and hospitalized, or working outside, being able to return home safely is the greatest happiness.
"Dad, will Linlin come again?"
Hanhan looked at the direction the car was going away, obviously a little unhappy.
"Yes, next time you come, can you take Linlin to watch the flag-raising ceremony?" Chen Yang picked up Hanhan.
I really feel a little sorry for my daughter.
In order to give Linlin a playmate, Wen Manlu and Chen Yang brought Hanhan to the hospital. Hanhan played with Linlin on weekends. The two children had become friends, but now they had to separate.
Until now, Hanhan still thinks about Yangyang from time to time.
"Okay." Hanhan nodded, and then sang in a cheerful childish voice: "The five-star red flag flutters in the wind..."
"Dad is going back to see Grandpa and Grandma in a couple of days. Do you want to go?" Chen Yang asked as he walked back holding Hanhan.
Tian Min’s child’s hundred-day party will be in two days, so Chen Yang has to go back.
Since arriving in Kyoto, Chen Yang has been very busy. He hasn't returned to Jinjiang City for three months without realizing it.
"Okay, okay."
Hanhan said happily: "I'm going to visit grandpa and grandma."
"it is good."
Chen Yang smiled and said to Wen Manlu, "Then ask for leave for Hanhan. Let's go back as a family of three. No, as a family of four."
Having said that, Chen Yang quickly changed his words.
Wen Manlu is pregnant now, which means the weather is getting colder, so she is wearing loose clothes so it is not very obvious.
"Okay." Wen Manlu nodded with a smile.
Hanhan is still in kindergarten, so it’s no problem for her to take a few days off. Wen Manlu is pregnant now, and she is in the Propaganda Department with Gao Yingchu and others, so she rarely goes to the inpatient department.
The main reason is that there are more and more patients in the inpatient department, especially in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, and medicinal materials such as musk are inevitable.
In the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pregnant women do need to be very careful.
Chen Yang and Wen Manlu had just returned to the office with Hanhan in their arms when Gao Anliang came in.
"Director Chen, the Cleveland and Berlin Heart Centers sent emails saying they'll be visiting our medical center soon for a visit and study."
"Okay."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Director Gao, please reply and tell them that we welcome you very much."
