She worked wonders! A five-year-old girl in Hunan province, who became paraplegic during her dance practice, is now able to run

Yitong, a young girl from Xiangtan, Hunan, is six years old. She was paraplegic when she was five years old due to dance practice. After she was transferred from Xiangtan to Changsha, she was sent to the intensive care unit and was given a medical certificate: spinal cord injury from chest 4 to waist 1. . Many people think that Yidong's days in the future may be spent in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
"I won't buy a wheelchair!" Yitong's parents didn't believe in fate. They didn't even buy a wheelchair.
From then on, Yitong embarked on a difficult road to recovery accompanied by her parents. She cried with so much pain for countless times. The strong girl never gave up and suffered the pain that even adults could not bear.
From paraplegia to standing, from walking to running. Since August 2020, Yizhen and his parents have stubbornly created "little miracles" together.
"She may spend her entire life in a wheelchair"
On the morning of August 20, 2020, Yitong took advantage of his free time and wanted to practice a few dance moves first to complete the video task of the dance class. After doing the last handstand, Yi Tong turned down and sat on the exercise mat. She felt a little numbness and pain in her legs, so her father Wang Qiang asked her to sit on the sofa to rest. During the period, Yidong also said that she wanted to go to the toilet. At this time, Wang Qiang felt that Yidong's walking posture was not quite right. When Yidong came back, she still said that she felt her legs were numb and painful, so Wang Qiang came over to her daughter. Rub your legs. But Yidong told her father that he had just rubbed his leg, and she didn't feel it.
Wang Qiang's heart sighed and he carefully checked whether the daughter felt any feeling when rubbing his daughter's legs, but the reply he got was no feeling. Upon seeing this, the couple immediately rushed Yitong to Xiangtan Central Hospital.
In the afternoon, the doctor talked to Yuan Ling's family and said that Yitong's condition was serious and he suggested that she be transferred to a higher-level hospital. So Yuan Ling's family moved Yitong to Hunan Children's Hospital. Yitong was directly pushed to the intensive care unit, and the medical certificate was also sent to the couple's hands: spinal cord injury from chest 4 to waist 1.
"At that time, everyone thought that my daughter might have to spend her entire life in a wheelchair, but we just don't believe it! We just don't buy a wheelchair!" Yuan Ling recalled the scene last year, still vividly remembered.
After the child’s accident, the husband and wife were very anxious. They worried that their daughter would not get better and would not be able to fully recover. They were "helpless and helpless." But they did not tell Yitong the truth, but told her that her leg was injured and she needed medical treatment. After a while, he will soon recover.
On the eighth day of hospitalization, Yidong was transferred to the general ward. Thanks to the joint efforts of family members and doctors, Yitong was able to sit up on the third day of staying in the general ward, and Yuan Ling also made a bold decision: to leave the hospital.
"Family rehabilitation is the most efficient, so we brought Yitong back home at that time." Yuan Ling said.
"My daughter will stand up"
Yuan Ling began to help Yitong with rehabilitation training every day. Yidong's legs also started to feel pain gradually. Although the pain was a good thing for Yitong, it pierced Yuan Ling's heart with a needle.
"In the first week when I came home, when I was training every day, Yitong screamed with pain. Every time at this time, I really couldn't stand it in my heart. Then I would lock myself into the bedroom, no I would like to see her in pain," Yuan Ling said.
With the company of his parents and proper physical therapy, Yitong completed the leap from sitting to standing to taking the first step in just two months. Considering that the first two years were the golden period of rehabilitation, Wang Qiang decided to study rehabilitation on his own.
Wang Qiang had been in the army before and knew some training knowledge. At the same time, he also asked some patients to learn about rehabilitation. The main thing he does for Yitong is functional training, such as sitting up, half squatting, squatting, horse walking, etc. In addition, Wang Qiang will often take Yitong out to climb stairs, climb mountains, run, and perform comprehensive exercises. . Not only that, Wang Qiang also studies Chinese medicine, often doing moxibustion and massage for Yitong.
Regarding Yitong's rehabilitation aids, most of them are also made by Wang Qiang. Yuan Ling said: “Our home rehabilitation equipment is relatively simple. Dad Yitong made standing boards, stretch boards, balance boards, etc. for her. As long as Dad can do it, he will do it himself, and he can’t do it. I will ask friends for help."
In the subsequent training, because Yi Tong could only walk on tiptoe, the forefoot was worn out, and there was no way to buy shoes suitable for tiptoe walking on the Internet, and there was no place to order it, so Wang Qiang bought a booster pad. Cut the size several times and put them on the bottom of the shoes to create a pair of "exclusive" shoes for her daughter.
"Because of the nature of my work, my husband has to go out to deliver goods at two in the morning and return at eight. He had to deliver goods in the afternoon. Considering that he has to take care of Yitong, he did not deliver them. He slept less than five hours a day in those days. I really I feel sorry for him!" Yuan Ling said.
In order to better take care of Yitong, Yuan Ling and his wife sent their little daughter to their grandparents' house. They paid so much for Yitong because they always believed that their daughter would stand up!
"This miracle was created by herself"
"A woman gave birth to a grade 12 pain, while my Yitong was experiencing a grade 11 pain," Yuan Ling said heartily, "But Yitong never said the word quit!"
Yitong is a very optimistic and sensible child. She has to go through five or six hours of rehabilitation training every day. When the training feels pain, she will try hard not to scream because she is afraid that her parents will be worried when they hear it, and then she will do her best. I tore the bed sheet and vented the pain on the bed sheet. The bed sheet was changed one after another, and the pillow towel that was mixed with sweat and tears hanging around Yitong's neck was changed one after another.
After tirelessly trying to stand, step, and jump, Yitong's perseverance finally paid off. On January 5, 2021, Yi Tong followed Wang Qiang to the parking lot downstairs and jumped on the speed bump. With the encouragement of his father, Yi Tong tried to jump more than a hundred times, but his feet still did not leave the ground. Although she fell down many times in the middle, Yitong kept insisting, saying, "I must jump up!" Finally Yitong jumped onto the speed bump. Although her center of gravity was not stable, she lost her balance at once. I kept trying, and then I jumped a lot in one breath until I could stand on my own. This was also the first jump she achieved after being injured.
Afterwards, Wang Qiang also added rehabilitation training for climbing hills to Yitong. He would ask Yitong to climb the slope by himself, the slope is one kilometer long, and then time her. In the beginning, it took more than 20 minutes to use the art. With the daily exercise, almost one minute a day was reduced, and finally it stabilized at about 18 minutes. When going uphill, falling is commonplace for Yitong, but she never cried, but immediately turned over and sat up quickly, and then tried to go uphill again. The progress and hard work of their daughter, Wang Qiang and his wife are both in their eyes and in their hearts.
Influenced by his father’s military service, when asked about Yitong’s own ideals, Yitong would confidently say: "I want to go to the National University of Defense Technology!" Yuan Ling did not dare to think if Yitong wanted to achieve such a goal. , It requires much less effort than ordinary people. But Yitong would comfort her mother: "You dare not think, I dare to think, when my legs are better, I will study hard and take the exam when I grow up!"
The six-and-a-half-year-old Yidong still insists on exercising every day, and now she is able to run. Mother Yuan Ling was also very pleased with this: "I feel that this is a process. After all, my daughter and we have paid a lot, so I also think it is a logical thing for her to run. This miracle was created by herself."
Dr. Guo Chunguang, who once treated Yitong, also said: "Yitong's condition was incomplete injury at the time, and there was still a part of normal neurological function. Through later treatment and rehabilitation training, walking function can be established. Yitong His recovery is so fast that he cannot do without his acquired efforts."
