Loi, the 3 year old burn victim has recovered from his accident and will be ready to go home Friday.
His release comes just in time for him to enjoy Tet at home with his family. On February 8, DTiNews visited the National Burn Hospital once again to visit Loi, who was badly burned and suffered from 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his face, neck, body and limbs.
His mother, Nguyen Thi Thanh Tien, told us that after two weeks of treatment, he has overcome his critical situation and recovered very quickly.
After two weeks of treatment, Loi has overcome his critical situation and recovered very quickly.
According to Doctor Nguyen Nhu Lam, he will still have to deal with some after-effects for one or two months and has some limited scarring. Fortunately, his brain wasn’t affected so its development will be normal.
“Now his burn effect level is at only 5%. His skin can be cured by itself. Thanks to the help of many kind people, he was able to recover from this accident,” added Lam.
Loi’s mother said he can now eat rice, drink milk and that his health is in good shape. “I wrote a thank-you letter today to express my gratefulness to the Management Board of the National Burn Hospital and its doctors and nurses who saved my son’s life. In addition, I am very thankful to all of the compassionate donors who shared with me the pain and difficulties which I thought I could never overcome,” Loi’s mother wrote.
