Du Chuanwang, a 13-year-old boy from Xiajin county, Shandong province, who was seriously
injured in a prank with an air pump, is getting better.
Du was transferred from the intensive care unit to a single ward on Friday to allow his family better
access to him and because his condition had improved.
"The ward is equipped with a monitor, an infusion pump and equipment to sterilize the air," Shen Li,
co-founder of the Angel Mom foundation said at a news conference on Saturday.
The foundation is helping the boy and organized his transfer to a Beijing hospital.
But Du is still battling horrific injuries, with infections caused by dying tissue still developing on his
face and nose.
"The infections are on the patient's face, mouth and alimentary tract. … His heart, lungs, liver and
kidneys all have problems at different levels," Shen said.
Du Shehou, the boy's father, told China Daily on Sunday that the infections were continuing to
develop. "It's worse than when he was hospitalized in Xiajin," Du Shehou said.

Meanwhile, the Xiajin people's procuratorate, the county's prosecuting authority, approved on
Thursday the arrest of the two men alleged to have hurt Du, said Shi Chuanbin, a publicity official of
Xiajin police.
Shi said the suspects are a man named Zhao, born in 1992, and a man name Chen, born in 1985.
The men, who were Du's co-workers in a garage, are alleged to have injured the boy with an air pump.
