Akazea Austin, the 12-year-old girl who was struck down by a Linden taxi-driver earlier this month, is slowly recovering, her father, William Mentos said.
Mentos told Stabroek News yesterday that Austin is recovering “slowly” but she remains on life support as she is suffering from a throat infection. He said thus far, Austin has been twitching her body and waking for short periods before going back into a deep sleep.
He added that the “slow progress” has given him and Austin’s mother, Loraina Waddle, a glimmer of hope.
