Update 一下今天最新的更新，小男孩在慢慢恢复，小女孩的情况还是很复杂，伤的太重了，脑损伤的情况还需要进一步evaluate。以后还有很长的路要走。想帮助孩子们的朋友可以搜孩子的名字和 Brooklyn hammer attack，可以找到他们的gofundme page。我知道这里不支持捐款链接，想了很久还是决定写一下，孩子们实在是太可怜，太无辜了。。捐款的组织者看起来很尽力在帮助孩子们，今天的update是美东时间晚上10点多发的，看来也是忙了一天了。Anyway，希望孩子们都能完全康复。

David took a big step today – he managed to get out of bed and see his sister Sophia for the first time since the accident. Accompanied by the doctor and his father, David shows concern for Sophia’s condition. He''s currently able to communicate briefly, although many details are still unspecified.
As for Sophia, she''s not fully conscious yet. Though she responds to her dad''s voice, her communication ability is limited. Mr. Liu shared, "I told Sophia that I''m her dad. She''s starting to grasp ''dad,'' but her voice is still finding its way. There are times when she manages to answer my call, and times when she can''t."
Thankfully, there''s been progress in Sophia''s condition since yesterday. She can now hold onto toys, and she ate today, which is a positive sign. The doctor let us know that Sophia has passed the most dangerous phase of her recovery, which is a huge relief. The hospital is preparing for a thorough examination of her body. There''s a concern about one side of her body lacking sensation and movement, which they''ll look into more tomorrow. On the bright side, the other parts of her body seem to be showing no issues. They''ll be doing a comprehensive checkup, including a brain scan, to get a clearer picture.
The next steps involve the neurology and psychiatry departments working together. Some tests are lined up for tomorrow, and then the specialized teams will come in. It''s a bit uncertain what the long-term effects might be or if new symptoms could arise. Right now, the doctors are particularly worried about the possibility of epilepsy due to the brain damage Sophia endured.
If you would like to write postcards to Sophia and David, we will be collecting them at our office at 909 58th st, Brooklyn, New York, 11219 during office hours. These warm words of encouragement and support will be delivered to the family and the brave siblings. Your help is what''s keeping us strong, and we''re determined to see Sophia''s smile light up our days once again.
David今天迈出了一大步--他成功下床看望了妹妹Sophia，这是自事故发生以来他第一次见到妹妹。在医生和父亲的陪同下，David对Sophia的病情表示了关切。虽然很多细节还不清楚，但他目前已经能够进行简单的交流。
至于Sophia，她还没有完全清醒。虽然她对爸爸的声音有反应，但交流能力有限。刘先生分享说："我告诉Sophia我是她爸爸。她开始努力说''爸爸''这个词，但她的声音还是发不出来。有时她会给我回应，有时却不能”。
值得庆幸的是，从昨天开始，Sophia的病情有所好转。她现在可以玩玩具了，今天也可以进食了，这是一个好的信号。医生告诉我们，Sophia已经度过了康复的最危险的阶段，这让我们松了一口气。医院正准备对她的身体进行彻底检查。我们担心她的一侧身体没有知觉和活动能力，明天他们会进一步检查。好的一面是，她身体的其他部位似乎没有问题。他们将对她进行全面检查，包括脑部扫描，以了解更清楚的情况。
接下来，脑神经科和心理科将共同开展工作。明天将进行一些测试，然后专业团队将介入。目前还不确定长期影响会有多大，也不确定是否会出现新的症状。目前，医生们特别担心Sophia的脑损伤会诱发癫痫。
如果您想给Sophia和David写明信片，可以寄到我们的办公室（地址：909 58th st, Brooklyn, New York, 11219）。这些热情洋溢的鼓励和支持的话语将被送到他们的家人和这对勇敢的兄妹手中。您的帮助是他们坚强的动力，我们希望能再次看到Sophia明亮的笑容。

Today, David woke up, which is truly heartwarming, even though he''''s dealing with temporary amnesia and can''''t recognize his father. The silver lining is that he can express his needs and thoughts, a step forward that brings hope. He''''s able to let his dad and the nurses know he needs to use the bathroom instead of using a diaper. Tomorrow, he''''ll move from the ICU to a regular ward. We''''re so grateful for your prayers, and we''''re holding onto the belief that David''''s condition will keep improving with each passing day.
Sophia''''s condition remains critical, as she sustained a serious injury to her nose from being hit with the hammer. This has left her unable to breathe through her nasal passages, necessitating the use of a breathing tube. Unfortunately, due to her unstable vital signs, the surgery to address her brain injuries cannot proceed at this time. We are continuing to pray for her and Sophia has not given up.
今天，David醒过来了，尽管他暂时失忆，认不出自己的父亲，但这确实令我们幸喜不已。令人欣慰的是，他能够表达自己的需求和想法，这是带来希望的一步。他能让爸爸和护士知道他需要去上厕所，而不是用尿布。明天，他将从重症监护室转到普通病房。我们非常感谢大家的祈祷，我们坚信David的病情会一天天好转。
Sophia的情况依然危急，因为她的鼻子被锤子重重砸伤，从而导致她无法通过鼻腔呼吸，必须使用呼吸管。不幸的是，由于她的生命体征不稳定，目前无法进行治疗脑损伤的手术。我们将继续为她祈祷，Sophia也没有放弃。

Today marks another remarkable milestone in Sophia''''s journey to recovery. After the incident, Sophia has just opened her eyes for the first time, and she''''s showing small movements in her hands and legs. Although she isn''''t responding to her surroundings or the people around her just yet, and her left side remains inactive, this glimmer of hope is bringing us all closer together. While Sophia is unable to communicate verbally at the moment and appears quite fatigued, her awakening fills us with a reason to celebrate as a united community. Now, she can begin undergoing various tests to assess her neurosystems and vitals. Once all the assessments are completed, we''''ll have a clearer picture of the surgeries she''''ll need. With each passing day, Sophia''''s condition is improving, and witnessing her progress is truly exhilarating. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support and attention to Sophia''''s recovery!
David''''s journey toward healing is also filled with positive improvements. He''''s now able to leave his bed and walk around for short periods. Even though he often mentions discomfort in his head and hands, his overall improvement is remarkable. Instead of succumbing to the pain, he''''s displaying immense strength and resilience that''''s inspiring to witness. David has always been a well-behaved and imaginative child, finding joy in drawing and writing during his free time. Today, he was able to tell his father and asked to write and draw—drawing his first painting since the incident. We''''re incredibly grateful for the positivity and compassion you''''ve shown for Sophia and David. Together, we''''re making strides towards their recovery, one step at a time.
Let''''s keep our thoughts, prayers, and hopes going strong for Sophia and David. They are demonstrating remarkable resilience in their fight for life, and your unwavering support is what they need. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
今天是Sophia在康复的路上又迈进了一大步。这个是事件发生后，Sophia第一次苏醒, 手脚也能稍微活动。虽然她对周围的环境和人没有任何反应， 而且她的左侧肢体比较无力 ，但这是一个充满希望的时刻。虽然Sophia现在还不能交流，而且看起来相当疲惫，但她的醒来是值得我们一起庆祝的事情。接下来她可以开始接受各种必要的测试，以评估她的神经系统和生命体征。一旦完成所有评估，我们就能更清楚地了解她需要进行哪些手术。随着时间一天天过去，Sophia的病情在不断好转，我们大家也一同见证了她的顽强的生命力。
David的康复之路也充满了积极的进步。他现在可以下床走动一小会儿了。尽管他经常提到头部疼痛和手部的不适，但他的整体康复的非常显著。他并没有屈服于疼痛，而是表现出了巨大的力量和韧性，令人鼓舞。David一直是个乖巧、富有想象力的孩子，他在空闲时间喜欢画画和写字，今天他能够告诉父亲，他想要写写画画，这也是他自事件发生之后第一次做自己想做的事情。我们非常感谢你们对Sophia和David的帮助和祝福。我们将共同努力，一步一个脚印地和他们一起加油。
让我们继续为Sophia和David祝福！他们在为生命而战的过程中表现出了非凡的意志力。我们衷心感谢这些日子以来所有对这个家庭的关心与祝福。

Today brought both hope and challenges for our beloved Sophia and David. Despite being relying on nutritional fluids, today marks a meaningful moment for Sophia. It''''s the first time she has taken in liquid food since the accident, and it''''s the first time Mr. Liu has had the chance to feed his daughter. She''''s reacting to the photos her dad shares, and there''''s even a faint attempt at communication, with her vaguely calling "brother". These small steps one by one make significant progress on her journey to recovery.
“Just now I was feeding my daughter and I suddenly couldn’t control my emotions. But when my daughter smiled at me as if she was comforting me, her courage got to me. Despite everything, Sophia didn''''t cry and looked straight into my eyes as if she understood that her mother was no longer with us, but she was still there with me“, Mr. Liu, Sophia''''s father, shared his heartache, saying, “I remember Sophia’s bright smiles and being so energetic. It''''s hard to see her like this, without that spark. But deep down, I know she''''s a fighter, and we''''ll get through this together. It''''s just tough seeing my once joyful daughter lying still in that hospital bed.”
On the other side, David''''s path to recovery is going well. Although he can''''t feel pain in parts of his body, there''''s some movement in his face. The doctors are conducting further tests to confirm this, and we''''ll keep you posted. On a brighter note, when David woke up today, his first thoughts were of Sophia. He asked about her well-being and whereabouts, his concern for his sister showing the unbreakable bond they share. He asked to be by her side, but for now, they''''re separated on medical advice to ensure a smooth healing process.
David also said his wish to draw and play with his iPad, a sign of his determination to embrace moments of normalcy amidst the challenges. While his head injury requires caution, tomorrow he''''ll receive a safety helmet, a step toward increased movement, and the crucial rehabilitation phase.
Both siblings are going through so much, but their care and concern for each other are evident. The doctors and families have decided not to mention their mother for now, understanding that unveiling this truth could trigger traumatic memories and stress. We can only hope that the siblings get well soon and get through this trauma.
Every message and every kind thought helps Sophia and David move forward on this journey of healing and hope. If you would like to write postcards to Sophia and David, we will be collecting them at our office at 909 58th st, Brooklyn, New York, 11219 during office hours. These warm words of encouragement and support will be delivered to the family and the brave siblings. We''''re grateful for your empathy and love as we stand strong together. Thank you!
今天，我们心爱的Sophia和David迎来了新的希望与挑战。Sophia今天也醒了，尽管目前没有明显反应。早上只能靠输液补充营养，可是傍晚时刘先生第一次有机会喂女儿吃流食。她对爸爸分享的照片有了反应，Sophia似乎想说话，甚至能模糊地叫出“哥哥的名字”，但表达不清晰。这些一小步一小步的进步，让她在康复的道路上取得了重大进展。
"刚才在给女儿喂流质食物，我突然很难受很伤心。但当女儿对我微笑，好像在安慰我时，她的勇气打动了我。尽管她伤得那么重，Sophia都没有哭，她直直地看着我的眼睛，好像她明白妈妈已经不在了，但她还在我身边"，Sophia的父亲，刘先生分享了他的心痛，他说“曾经的Sophia是一个爱笑和充满活力的孩子。看到她现在这个样子，完全没有了那种活力，我很难受。但在内心深处，我知道她会康复，我们会一起度过难关的。可是一想到女儿目前只能卧在病床上一动不动，我真的好心痛”。
另一方面，David的康复之路进展顺利。虽然David似乎对身体的某些部位的疼痛失去了感觉，但脸部还有一些反应。医生正在进行进一步的检查以确认这一情况。令人欣慰的是，David今天醒来后首先想到的是Sophia。他询问她的情况和下落，他对妹妹的关心显示了他们之间牢不可破的亲情。他希望能见到她，但目前，为了确保两个孩子的康复顺利，他们还是根据医嘱分开了。
David今天提到想画画和玩 iPad ，由于头部受伤严重，医生暂不允许他下床，但明天头盔完成后，David将进入下一个的康复阶段，医生将鼓励David更多的下床活动和运动。
兄妹俩都经历了很多，但他们对彼此的关心，医生和家人决定暂时不提及他们的母亲，因为他们知道揭开这个真相可能会引发创伤记忆和压力。我们只能希望兄妹早日康复度过这个难关。
