宁海白血病孩子-黄佳宁病房日记 2012年元月23日
今天是大年初一,首先我祝所有关心我、帮助我的好心人新春愉快,龙年大吉大利、健康、平安每一天。我昨天上午针打到十一点就让护士阿姨给我拔掉了,我怕赶不上十二点的车。回家我以为妈妈准备了一桌丰盛的年夜饭,哪知小弟弟和妈妈一晚都没睡过觉,小弟弟前晚又拉又吐,并且发着高烧,小弟弟难受不停地哭闹,妈妈带他去医院看病,自己的饭都顾不上吃。今早爸妈又带小弟弟去医院了,看来这次也要打好几天针,你说这么冷的天要是在家里吃吃、睡睡、晒晒太阳那该多好呀!有些事情就是不由你算,真是没办法。但愿我小弟弟好得快,看到他那难受的样子我们的心情也不好受!

Today is the first day of Dragon Year on the Chinese Lunar Calendar and I would like to send my blessings to the kind who helps and cares me. I didn't finish the saline until 11am and then the nurse stopped it for me in order to let me catch the 12am bus. I thought Mummy would prepare us a nice dinner, but to our surprise, she didn't sleep over night because my little brother got a terrible fever with spitting and diarrhea and went to the hospital. He might need several needles. God bless my little brother be fine soon so we won't feel so upset for him and then we could eat, sleep and enjoy the sunshine together.

宁海白血病孩子-黄佳宁病房日记 2012年元月24日
我的梦想总是完美的,可现实却是那么的残酷:我高高兴兴地回家过春节,我想一家人快快乐乐地团聚在一起过上一个礼拜再回医院,可昨晚我高烧了,爸爸不得不去宁海车站提前买票。上午爸妈刚把小弟弟从医院打完针回来,就冒着大雪去宁海了,我无力地躺在床上盼望体温降下来,我真不想去医院。其实我回家那几天体温一直不稳定,医生是说最好别出院,可我一想到妈妈孤孤单单地在家,我也像其他病人一样自己要求出院,没料到在家才呆一个安稳夜。我感到无比的痛苦,明天妈妈怎么带小弟弟去医院呢?看到别人家欢天喜地地过春节,我的心情无比失落。[此贴由爵士乐在 2012-01-27 07:54 编辑过]
