Abandoned boy celebrates birthday in hospital

An abandoned boy in Yunnan province celebrated his 5th birthday earlier this week in the hospital where he has been raised since birth, according to cfp.cn.

The boy was born on Sept 21, 2010. It was an emergency delivery and he was born without a heartbeat. Though the doctors revived him in five minutes, his mother insisted that he had cerebral palsy and refused to take him home.

Ever since, the hospital began to bring up the boy. This year, they decided to throw a birthday party in the maternity ward for him.

The boy's mother also showed up at the party, but she didn't believe that her son has recovered. "The hospital should cure the boy first before asking us to take him home," she said.
