China Girl Falling -- Two-year-old Hangzhou girl falling from 10th floor of building is out of ICU
CCTV BEIJING - The two-year-old Hangzhou girl falling off from the 10th floor of an apartment building 24 days ago was moved out of ICU Monday, hospital sources said earlier today.
With her left arm able to move, the girl, whose milk name is Niu Niu, has moved to the Second Hospital attached to the Medical School of Zhejiang University for rehabilitation with the company of her parents.
On July 2, Niu Niu fell from a window on the tenth floor of a tall apartment building in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province, and was caught by a passer-by named Wu Juping, who also suffered major injuries.
Niu Niu was about to leave ICU where she has stayed for over 20 days, so she was quite happy. With the help of her father and mother, Niu Niu sat up with smile.
The left side of Niu Niu's body was unconscious, but after treatment during these days, her health has improved.
"The muscle strength of her left arm has improved somewhat. The arm can move now, and this is to say, she can overcome the earth's gravity to lift her arm, which is a very good progress," said Du Lizhong, director of the Children Hospital of Zhejiang Province.
"Seeing her recovering a little bit, we are more and more confident of her recovery," said dad of Niu Niu.
The eyesight of Niu Niu is also somewhat improved. Now she can grasp toys in front of her eyes. According to the doctor, Niu Niu's infection has been completely controlled, and the stitches have been removed. At 5:00 o'clock Monday afternoon, Niu Niu has been moved to special ward of neurosurgery department of the hospital for rehabilitation in the maximum pressure oxygen chamber.
