After a battery of tests and intensive treatments, the young girl, who is called "Malik", was moved to Sheba’s pediatric intensive care unit, where she has begun to move her limbs and is awakening from her unconscious state. The prognosis for her recovery is "good" according to Dr. Itai Pessach, Sheba's Senior Pediatric Critical Care Physician, who is tending to Malik's injuries."She is suffering from multiple injuries, including head and chest trauma, burns, cuts and bruises. Though she remains in critical condition, we believe that she will live but face a long road to recovery," Pessach revealed.Malik's mother, who came with only the clothes on her back to Sheba with her daughter, has been overwhelmed by what he has seen and heard in her first experience with Israeli Jewish and Arab doctors and nurses."This has been an emotional journey for me, Malik and my family. I am very happy, and pleased with the way we have been treated by everyone in the hospital and with G-d's help, I will be able to bring Malik back to our family in Dara'a, where my husband is waiting for us with our son," she said.Kreiss added, "This is not our first experience in dealing with casualties of the Syrian civil war and the way things are developing on the border, I'm afraid it won't be the last. It was an ironic twist of fate that I happened to be on the Golan Heights celebrating the happiness of a Bat Mitzvah girl last week and we hope to celebrate the rebirth of Malek's young life after our dedicated staff helps her recover. We are proud to be a hospital without borders and an oasis of peace in a turbulent region of the world."
