3. CHUNHUI CARE HOME PROGRAM STORY
Xin Nan is a well-behaved girl. This was her second trip to Shanghai Chunhui Care Home for hip and clubfoot surgery. Chunhui Mama accompanied Xin Nan to be hospitalized. When Chunhui Mama carried her topreoperative examination, she told Chunhui Mama, "Mom, I'm not afraid, and I won't cry even if I get an injection." Chunhui Mama just smiled and praised her, " You are the bravest girl!". Xin Nan smiled happily.
On the day of the surgery, Chunhui Mama took Xin Nan to the door of the operating room. When the doctor came to fetch her, Xin Nan turned to Chunhui Mama and said,, "Mom, I'm not afraid." and Chunhui Mama said, "Baby go for it, mommy's right here waiting for you. " Chunhui Mama waited in front of the operating room for 6 hours, until Xin Nan was taken out of the room on a tractor. Chunhui Mama felt so hard when she saw the weakness on the faces of Xin Nan. Chunhui Mama called her by the name for a few times. When Xin Nan finally heard her and squeezed out the word "Mom", Chunhui Mama burst into tears. After the anesthesia effect was over after 4 hours, Xin nan cried:"Mom, I'm in pain, I want you to be in your arms." Because Xin Nan had a plaster cast from her hip joint all the way to the ankle, Chunhui Mama could do nothing but holding her shoulders with one arm and her little hand with the other. Gradually, Xin Nan stopped crying. The doctors and nurses all praised Xin Nan for being so strong and brave, and she smiled again.
Currently, Xin Nan stays at Shanghai Chunhui Care Home waiting for her next plaster cast to be removed. We look forward to the day when Xin Nan can wear a pretty dress and carry her backpack to school like other kids!
