Dr Hoang Hai Duc from the National Children's Hospital said the girl has recovered well. She does not have a fever, coughing, breathing difficulties and her urinary tract functions normally. Her hip has been relocated and put in a cast. X-ray results were normal. The results of the CT scan of her brain revealed it was also normal.

On March 4, the doctors will give her a thorough check-up including a chest X-ray and abdominal ultrasound. She will be discharged on March 5.

The little girl climbed out and fell off the 12th-floor balcony of the 60B Apartment Building on Nguyen Huy Tuong Street. A delivery man, Nguyen Ngoc Manh, who was waiting for his customer on the ground heard the scream and climbed onto the metal roof on the ground floor to catch the baby.

The baby was admitted to the National Children's Hospital on February 28. Her health appeared to be in good condition and only suffered from a hip dislocation.
