Three sisters and brothers of the Chen family in Shengang Township, Changhua County were walking on a pedestrian crossing to cross the road. They were hit by an unlicensed driver named Xiao. The two sisters were seriously injured and were hospitalized in the intensive care unit for nine days. The two suffered serious brain injuries and their coma index was still three, but the sister was hospitalized. The video continued to play recordings of cheers from aunt, mother and classmates. The hospital pointed out that the patient showed strong willpower; his sister developed diabetes insipidus last night and returned to normal after emergency treatment by the hospital.

My sister is currently being treated at Xiu Chuan Hospital in Changhua. Vice President Li Jiaying said that the patient’s coma index is still 3, her pupils react to light, and her blood pressure medication has been stopped for two days. However, due to low hemoglobin, two units of blood were transfused yesterday. Today, The hemoglobin is close to the normal value. Because the arterial blood oxygen concentration is normal and the amount of infusion in and out of the body is balanced, the oxygen concentration set by the respirator is lowered to 25%, which means that the lung function has improved.

The hospital pointed out that it is currently continuing to evaluate whether to allow the patient to use stem cell therapy to assist brain nerve regeneration; tonight it is expected to explain to the family the future treatment methods and possible subsequent conditions.

Zhang Shangwen, director of neurosurgery at Changhua Christian Children’s Hospital, said that his sister’s condition has not improved much. He continues to track brain waves and has not seen any electrophysiological reactions so far, which means that the brain damage is very serious. He will continue to provide the best treatment. After treatment, the patient suffered from diabetes insipidus for two consecutive nights. Diabetes insipidus is the phenomenon of excreting large amounts of clear urine after severe brain injury. After treatment with electrolytes and drugs, the patient returned to normal.
