2004-01-20   Area C parents & 10 month old girl JanJan in hospital for 5th day - after extensive/exhaustive testing (including MRI scan) JanJan has been diagnosed as mentally & physically handicapped for life - her brain is distended/distorted (1st case ever for local doctors), possibly caused by flu medicine taken by mother when 2 months pregnant. Their "home" is below, 2003-12-21, 2nd photo from left...the one with JanJan's yellow jacket hanging outside.  Doctors say that JanJan's condition is final, they can do nothing to help her.  HK teachers' group is taking case to a higher Hospital, asking the Heavenly Physician to give JanJan a special blessing....as in case of  miracle boy on
