Niuniu's parents recorded a children's song and message outside the intensive care unit, preparing to have the recording played inside the unit by the doctors. Xinhua News Agency issued a report on the loving individuals in Niuniu's Hangzhou Binjiang district neighborhood praying for Niuniu. Xinhua News Agency reported that the "most beautiful mother" who caught the falling child with her bare hands received a 200,000 yuan bonus; however, Niuniu may suffer from a ruptured pituitary gland or brain death.
"Niuniu, keep going! Niuniu, hold on! Niuniu must overcome the illness, let daddy 'gobble' it up..." Yesterday, Niuniu's parents, who are two-year-old girl's family in Hangzhou, cried while recording a sound clip and sang Niuniu's favorite song, "Little Swallow." They wanted to place the recording by their child's bedside, using parental love to awaken the child's consciousness.
In the afternoon yesterday, we learned from the Zhejiang University Affiliated Children's Hospital that Niuniu's pituitary gland showed signs of fragmentation in the morning, and there was a possibility of brain death. The situation is very critical.

So far, Niuniu remains in a deep coma, with cerebral edema, and only scored 3 points on the coma scale. All reflexes are absent, and there is no spontaneous breathing. The key issue now is whether the brain damage can be recovered, but it remains unknown.

Parents: Crying and singing "Little Swallow" hoping to awaken the child
For the Niuniu family waiting outside the intensive care unit, these might be the most painful two days of their lives.
The mother clearly remembers that at around 7:20 PM on the evening of the 2nd, when the nurse pushed Niuniu to the third-floor operating room, Niuniu had a tube in her nose, and her little face kept turning around - she even softly called out to her mother!
In the morning of the 3rd, they learned from the hospital's intensive care unit director, Dr. Zhang Chenmei, and hematology expert Wei Jian, that Niuniu's condition worsened: all organs were almost damaged; severe abdominal infection; very unstable vital signs; serious heart and lung damage, unable to breathe independently; fell into a deep coma.
Niuniu's mother is a healthcare worker, and she clearly understands what the doctor said means.
At 8 PM on the 3rd, Niuniu's parents were called in to discuss the condition. After just a short while, the mother suddenly collapsed on the ground, and the father quickly went to support her, also crying out loud...
We learned from the hospital that on the evening of the 3rd, Niuniu's condition severely worsened, and in the morning of yesterday, the brain injury began to show.
In the midst of extreme grief, the parents, in despair, thought of the power of spirit - they cried while recording a sound clip, hoping to use the call of parental love to awaken their unconscious child.
"We heard this recording, they kept shouting, 'Niuniu, keep going! Niuniu, hold on! Niuniu must overcome the illness, let daddy 'gobble' it up...' We couldn't listen anymore after hearing a bit of it, such profound sorrow was unbearable," a staff member from the hospital's party office told our reporter yesterday afternoon. Niuniu's parents also cried while singing "Little Swallow," which is Niuniu's favorite song.
Niuniu's parents hope to place this recording by Niuniu's bedside, using their voices, and the love of parents, to awaken the child's sleeping heart. The hospital agreed to the parents' request. "We will first conduct a dynamic electroencephalogram for the child, and then we can play the recording," the doctor said.
Wu Juping: Asking colleagues to send origami cranes to Niuniu
Niuniu's condition also touched another person's heart, she is the "most beautiful mother" who bravely caught Niuniu on the afternoon of the 2nd, Wu Juping.
Wu Juping's own injuries are also very serious. Wu Juping's attending physician, Deputy Director Jin Dengfeng of Fuyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedic Hospital, informed the reporter that due to the severity of Wu Juping's injuries in the radius and ulna bones, Dean Jin stated that the worst-case scenario is complete loss of forearm function, and if treatment is not timely, this arm may not be able to hold her own child in the future.
Dean Jin introduced that the preliminary treatment plan for Wu Juping's injuries was "manual reduction" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is a relatively conservative treatment plan that can ensure better external repair of the hand. However, if the results are unsatisfactory, surgery will still be required. "Currently, the expert team has a relatively high cure control, after the swelling subsides, the first phase of treatment will be carried out within two to three days, and if everything goes smoothly, basic recovery can be achieved in three months."
Colleagues from the Alibaba company where Wu Juping works visited her with hundreds of origami cranes filled with blessings. Wu Juping said, "My greatest wish right now is for the child to get better." She repeatedly instructed her colleagues to deliver these origami cranes to Niuniu's bedside.
We learned that Alibaba announced on the 4th that they would reward Wu Juping with 200,000 yuan.
