After passing through a corridor, we entered an office. There sat an old man in his fifties, wearing a white coat, with a kind appearance and rosy complexion. At first glance, he looked like a scholar who was in very good health and was very knowledgeable.
"Professor Liu, Mr. Ye is here." The assistant knocked on the door and came in, whispering to Professor Liu.
Professor Liu then raised his gaze from the case report he was reading. He did not look at Ye Lancheng or An Zhisu first, but at the grandmother in the middle.
"Professor Liu." Ye Lancheng nodded slightly towards Professor Liu.
An Zhisu also shouted: "Hello, Professor Liu."
"Okay, Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, and the old lady, please sit down." Professor Liu responded, stood up and asked them to sit down, and asked his assistant to pour tea.
The couple helped grandma sit down on the sofa, and Professor Liu sat opposite them.
The assistant brought tea to them, and the couple took a symbolic sip. Ye Lancheng went straight to the topic: "Professor Liu, you have seen grandma's case examinations in previous years. Do you need any other examinations today?"
Professor Liu nodded and said: "We still need to do another brain CT scan to obtain the latest accurate data and compare it with previous years to make it more accurate."
"Then please arrange it, Professor Liu." Ye Lancheng said after hearing this.
"It has been arranged a long time ago, Xiao Zheng, you take Mr. Ye and the old lady to do CT scan, and the results will be sent directly to my mailbox. You don't have to wait for the film to come out." Professor Liu told his assistant.
The assistant hurriedly said: "Okay, Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, I will take you down."
The couple then helped the grandmother up and followed the assistant out.
Since they had already made arrangements, they didn't need to go through the normal procedures. They went straight in and waited for more than 20 minutes. The nurse inside came out and told them that grandma was asleep.
An Zhisu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was about to go in and wake up his grandmother. However, he was stopped by Ye Lancheng. He asked Professor Liu's assistant to arrange a ward. The assistant was also very quick, and it was arranged in less than ten minutes.
Ye Lancheng walked into the CT room, picked up the thin grandmother, asked his assistant to lead the way, and sent her to the ward to rest first.
An Zhisu followed him, occasionally looking up at Ye Lancheng. He still looked indifferent, but An Zhisu felt that Ye Lancheng was almost 2.8 meters tall at this moment, which made her feel very safe.
She suddenly remembered six years ago, when her grandmother suddenly contracted Alzheimer's disease. Her condition was a bit severe at first, and she lost her ability to take care of herself overnight.
She panicked and hurried back to Sioux City. Her grandmother didn't even recognize her anymore. She kept saying that the little girl next door was her, and her memory went back to her childhood.
An Boyuan was on a business trip abroad at that time, and only sent one person to accompany her and take her grandma for a physical check-up. She took her grandma to several major hospitals, but the doctors were all helpless about this kind of disease.
An Zhisu took a month's leave from school and stayed with her grandmother for a whole month, but her grandmother's condition did not improve at all. In the end, she had no choice but to send her to a nursing home, and she had to ask An Boyuan for the money.
At that time, she was solely responsible for taking care of her grandmother and took care of her admission procedures. There had never been anyone like Ye Lancheng at this time who helped her pick up her sleeping grandmother and arranged everything. All she had to do was follow.
The assistant not only arranged the ward, but also arranged a nurse. Ye Lancheng put grandma on the bed. They didn't have to stay here. With the nurse there, they could go to Professor Liu for an analysis of the condition.
"Professor Liu, how is my grandmother's situation compared to last year?" Returning to Professor Liu, An Zhisu asked anxiously.
Professor Liu motioned for them to sit down, then gave An Zhisu an amiable smile and said, "Mrs. Ye, don't worry. Not only has the old lady's condition not worsened compared to last year, but it has also significantly improved. In recent months, has she been suffering from brain problems?" The waking hours are getting longer and longer.”
An Zhisu nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes, grandma didn't recognize me at first. She always recognized others as me. Recently, she has slowly been able to recognize me. We also took her out to play today, and she has been quite sober. "Professor Liu, does this mean that my grandma has the possibility of recovery?" "Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system, which mainly manifests as progressive memory impairment, cognitive dysfunction, personality changes, language impairment and other neurological symptoms. Psychiatric symptoms. Since the cause and pathogenesis of AD are still unclear, there is currently no specific method to reverse and prevent the condition.
Progress. However, the old lady's early treatment was timely, and her condition has been well controlled over the years, with no signs of deterioration. Now she is faintly starting to wake up, which shows that she is happier psychologically. This is a good phenomenon, keep it up. As long as it doesn't get worse, it's a good thing," Professor Liu said.
I got an answer that wasn’t good, but wasn’t bad either.
An Zhisu was a little disappointed, but soon cheered up. Since she was released from the mental hospital, her grandmother's condition has gradually changed for the better, and maybe a miracle will happen.
Ye Lancheng's big hand patted her small hand and comforted her twice before asking Professor Liu: "Professor Liu, do you need to adjust the dosage of the medicine based on grandma's current condition?"
"This is necessary." Professor Liu said as he started to prescribe some medicines in the medical record: "According to the old lady's current situation, the dosage of medicines must be reduced by one-third. Some of the medicines she is taking now can be Even if it is stopped, there are several types that can be replaced with ones with better efficacy."
The couple listened and waited for Professor Liu to prescribe the medicine. Professor Liu wrote the prescription and gave it directly to the assistant, who asked the assistant to get the medicine. "Alzheimer's disease is not only caused by physiological reasons, it is also a In the process of chronic disease, psychological factors also play a large role. Similarly, controlling Alzheimer's disease cannot only rely on drugs, but also relies on the company of your close relatives. Spend more time with the old lady when you have nothing to do.
She is in a better mood, and all aspects of her body are active, which is more conducive to the stabilization of her condition." Professor Liu gave them a few more instructions.
An Zhisu wrote down one by one: "Thank you Professor Liu, we will spend more time with her."
In the past few months, An Zhisu came back to accompany her grandma whenever she had time, and she deeply felt that her grandma needed her company. Aunt Li often said that her grandma was in good spirits every time she came.
Jingle Bell……
Just as Professor Liu and An Zhisu were saying these words, the landline phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Professor Liu showed an apologetic smile, then raised his hand and picked up the microphone.
After a while, Professor Liu hung up the phone and said to An Zhisu: "The old lady is awake, but the situation is a bit unstable."
An Zhisu was startled, and the next second he stood up and ran outside. Ye Lancheng and Professor Liu also got up and followed him.
