Progress on treatment for Ms.Yang Xiaoxia
Yesterday, I was notified by doctors responsible for the treatment of
Ms.Yang Xiaoxia that infection was finally put under control after adjustment
in antibiotic treatment. The diagnosis is still not clear although latest
culture of local necrotized tissue gives out an anaerobic bacteria (exact
name still not available). Skin grafting was carried out 3 days ago and
priliminary results was very promising. If the skin grafts survive
and local infection does not relapse, the hospital will hold a newsbrief
to announce the complete recovery of Ms.Yang and expresses gratitudes
for all those who have contribute to save the girls life, including
those who have sent helpful infromation and suggestions from Internet.
Up to now, I have received more than 300 messages from arround the world,
