<p>The condition of Baby Falak is improving and doctors hope to put her off the ventilator in a couple of days.<br /><br /></p>.<p>“Falak is doing better now. Her chances of survival have increased. However, we can be certain only when she is taken off the ventilator,” said a senior doctor of the Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Center (JPNATC), AIIMS, where she is under treatment.<br /><br />She has been on the ventilator for nearly two weeks now. This has caused a serious concern for the doctors as there is a possibility of acquiring ventilator-associated pneumonia. <br /><br />“We hope to wean her off the ventilator in a day or two. On Monday we will take stock of the situation and decide,” said the doctor.<br /><br />Falak was brought to the AIIMS trauma centre on January 18. She had a broken skull, <br />broken arms, iron burnt marks and marks of human bites on her body.<br />Within the first week of her admission, she survived two cardiac arrests, which is believed to be nothing less than a miracle.<br /><br />“I have not seen anyone surviving two heart attacks post-trauma,” said Dr Deepak <br />Aggarwal, neurosurgeon treating the child.<br /><br />She has been through five surgeries. The doctors maintain that even if she survives, the chances are high that she will live in a vegetative state throughout.<br /><br />Meanwhile, many Indian and foreign nationals have sent requests for her adoption to the authorities at All India Institute of Medical Sciences.<br /><br /></p>
