THE toddler who was saved from a 10-floor fall on July 2 was discharged from hospital today and her savior was discharged a day earlier.
The two-year-old Niu Niu fell off her apartment window in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province after her grandmother went downstairs to pick up the laundry. Her fall was cushioned by the outstretched arms of a woman named Wu Juping.
Wu's arms were fractured and Niu Niu suffered damages to her organs, brain and limbs. The girl was in a coma for 10 days.
After surgery and healing therapy, Niu Niu has recovered well; her vision has returned to normal and she can walk unaided although nerves in her left leg remain impaired, according to the No. 2 Hospital of Zhejiang University's School of Medicine.
"Niu Niu's treatment has achieved the ideal result," said Wang Jian'an, the hospital president. "It's a miracle that Wu saved Niu Niu and it is also a miracle that Niu Niu recovered so well."
"But she still has a long way to go," said Mao Jianshan, a doctor who treated Niu Niu. He said the peripheral nerves of Niu Niu's left limbs are functioning well and she cannot fully stretch her left-hand fingers.
The hospital will continue to treat Niu Niu as an outpatient. "How much progress she can make depends on her active movement," said Wang.
Wu Juping, Niu Niu's savior, also went to the hospital to accompany her home. "I'm glad that I caught her on that day and I hope she can grow up happily," Wu told Shanghai Daily.
