The second child in Shanxi province could walk as well before surgery, but is disabled now. After surgery, the muscles of his feet and legs started to shrink and are now obviously deformed. Before surgery, it cost 1000 Chinese Yuan a year to buy diapers for his urology disease. But now, not only his legs are disabled, but his urology disease also becomes more severe. In 2008, he visited the Jishuitan hospital in Beijing, and was told by the doctor that it was impossible to perform any surgery on his legs.

For the child in Deyang county, his mother felt lucky initially after the Xiao Procedure. Her child was still very young and the case was not very severe before surgery. She was happy that the disease seemed to be cured a little and at least did not get worse as others after surgery. But half a year later, the leg which was operated started to shrink and became thinner.
