GETTING OVER THE HUMP

The other day, Li Ti's 101-year-old mother told her that she was totally back on her feet. Li felt so glad.

About one month ago, however, she worried whether or not her mother who was infected with COVID-19 could get over the hump. "My mother was in a bad mental state and had a poor appetite.

Nurses could only feed her some milk, apple puree and banana puree. However, her mind was clear, knowing that she had got COVID-19, and she felt that there would not be much hope of cure," said the daughter.

On Nov. 9, the mother, surnamed He, was admitted to the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Considering the high risks involved in treating elderly COVID-19 patients, Lu Chen, head of Xinjiang's COVID-19 treatment expert team, assembled medical experts from two hospitals to customize a treatment plan for He.

Ten days later, when doctors informed Li that the elderly was cured, she felt incredible. "I didn't expect my mother to really get over the hump."

He was discharged from the designated COVID-19 hospital and spent several days under medical observation in another hospital before returning home.
