Ji Lanjun did not expect that her daughter actually suffered from severe Guillain-Barre syndrome, commonly known as neuritis. Xiaoyan has been living in the intensive care unit for more than a month in the hospital. Although he is basically out of danger, he still has to breathe with the help of a ventilator, which makes the originally poor family worse.
A few days after Ji Xiaoyan's sudden onset, teachers and students from Cuijiaqiao No.2 Middle School, her alma mater, rushed to the ward to visit her. The staff of Anyang County Education Bureau and all primary and secondary school teachers and students in Cuijiaqiao Township also donated more than 26,000 yuan. Ji Lanjun also raised medical expenses everywhere, and spent nearly 654.38+10,000 yuan one after another, and Xiaoyan's condition improved.
"Our family is very poor, but Xiaoyan has a' rich disease'!" Ji Lanjun said that her daughter has to breathe with a ventilator every day, because the cost is too expensive and they can't support it. On February 26, 2008, 65438, they had no choice but to let her go home.
At first, I learned that Xiaoyan couldn't breathe normally, and the villagers rushed to his home, queuing up 24 hours a day and squeezing the breathing ball back and forth with their hands. Some weak villagers also caught a cold.
Later, a villager saw that everyone was too tired, so he thought of a way and developed a ventilator himself.
Villagers Meng Wenhai, Ji Junhai and Ma Baoshun, who developed a simple ventilator, told reporters about the birth process of this ventilator. "It is very difficult to push and pull the breathing ball. Pushing by hand all the time is not the way. We just want to develop a machine to replace labor. " Meng Wenhai, 34, said. Three people started, and after thinking hard, they got inspiration from the sewing machine and the pedal of the refinery and assembled an old bicycle, motor, breathing ball and so on.
Meng Wenhai said that the whole development process took five days. At that time, none of them had a good sleep, and the most difficult thing was to control the number of breaths per minute of the ventilator. "According to the doctor's requirements, it must be controlled at 18 to 20 times per minute, no more or less!" Meng Wenhai said that the washing machine motor was used at first, but the power was too small and it soon burned out. Later, the pump motor was used, but the speed was too fast. After many attempts, the motor of the dough press was finally used, and the debugging was just right. Then control the balance of the fuselage and let the pull rod squeeze the breathing ball evenly, which is also a difficult problem. "It's like Edison's invention, but fortunately we succeeded." Finally, through simple combination, everyone made a simple ventilator with a bicycle rack, a motor and a breathing ball, barely maintaining Xiaoyan's life.
