Rescue Record | The Flower is Blooming, Just a Bit Slower

Nine years ago, Hanhan was born in Xintai, Tai'an, Shandong Province, China. Unfortunately, shortly after birth, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. To make matters worse, Hanhan developed epilepsy due to a high fever. Unable to bear the burden, her mother chose to leave the unfortunate family. To get medical treatment for Hanhan, her father had to leave her in the care of her grandparents while he went out to work and earn money.

Year after year, Hanhan's condition did not improve with age. Epileptic seizures occurred from time to time, and her grandparents had to watch her constantly to prevent accidents. The hardship of caring for such a child daily is unimaginable to most people. Her grandparents persevered with their love, taking Hanhan for treatment year after year, but without significant improvement. In addition to epilepsy, Hanhan's limbs were highly uncoordinated when walking, she drooled excessively, and her attention and focus were lacking. Repeated failures in their efforts led them to lose hope at times.

Fortunately, with the help of the Xintai Disabled Persons' Federation and Xintai Limin Hospital, Hanhan's family successfully applied for the "Shared Sunshine—Caring for Disabled Children" cerebral palsy assistance program from the Nolai International Medical Center. After a detailed examination by the expert team, Hanhan underwent surgery.

Post-surgery, during a conversation with Hanhan's grandmother, it was learned that Hanhan's mood had stabilized compared to before, the frequency of epileptic seizures had decreased, her coordination while walking had improved, and drooling had almost disappeared. Her grandmother mentioned that Hanhan now walks very quickly, and sometimes she can’t keep up. Hearing this news, we were sincerely happy about Hanhan's improvement.

Shandong Caijin Health Group, in collaboration with the China Health Promotion Foundation and the Shandong Disabled Persons' Federation, has launched the "Shared Sunshine—Caring for Disabled Children" assistance program and the "New Hope" national cerebral palsy公益 project. As of now, 865 children with cerebral palsy have been successfully assisted, with varying degrees of improvement in their conditions after surgery.

Cerebral palsy is not an incurable disease. We have witnessed many cases where children with cerebral palsy have significantly improved. If you know of a child in such a situation, please do not give up on them. Timely diagnosis, consistent treatment, and rehabilitation can lead to substantial improvements and even a return to good health for many children with cerebral palsy.
