Analysis
Parents Chen Earth is the Use Spirit; though it transforms into the Hostile Spirit Mao Wood that turns to restrain it, Wood enters the Storehouse on day and month-stem and lacks the strength to restrain — danger but not death. Parents Chou Earth is also clashed by the day-stem; a recent illness meeting a clash is also an image of survival.
Actual outcome
Indeed the illness was critical but he recovered.
