Chinese man kept alive for five years with HOMEMADE ventilator

 
 
Being alive is something we have to be thankful every day ,
Being poor is not always a cursed …
Yes!! It’s great to have everything but being less in life doesn’t mean we have no right to be alive nor take advantage of the needs for human services ,
God has given us a brain and body to function above all things… Use it well and you’ll see how wonderful it is to discover and take chances!!!
 
Here's a wonderful and Inspirational story of LIFE and Taking Chances..... 

 
A Chinese man has been kept alive for the last five years thanks to a homemade ventilator that his family have to manually squeeze hundreds of times a day.
Fu Xuepeng was 25 when he collided with a car while riding his motorbike to a supermarket.
He was diagnosed with severe damage to his nervous system and has been paralysed from the neck down and unable to breathe unaided ever since.


Instead, he must rely on a ventilator with a breathing tube in his airway.
But after four months on breathing equipment in Taizhou First People's Hospital, his parents were forced to bring him home because of the unbearably high medical expenses.

Despite receiving 300,000 yuan (£30,0000) in compensation from the driver, it cost more than 10,000 (£1,000) yuan per week to keep Fu on a medical ventilator, according to a report by the website china.org.cn.


His mother Wang Lanqin and father Fu Minzu were left with only one option - to remove him from hospital and try to care for him at home.
They bought a bag valve mask ventilator and have manually pumped lifesaving oxygen into his lungs by hand ever since.
To keep Fu, now, 30, alive, the attached air ball must be squeezed at even intervals to manually pump oxygen into the body.
