Last time we checked on the progress of Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year-old Pakistani girl who was targeted and shot in the head by the Taliban, doctors were hopeful for a good recovery. The Birmingham hospital where she was transferred reported Malala is now “able to stand with some help and to write.”

The first photographs out of Queen Elizabeth Hospital show Malala in bed with her eyes open, clutching a white teddy bear.

Malala is not out of the woods yet. Hospital medical director Dr. Dave Rosser said her bullet wound has become infected. But she is “well enough that she’s agreed that she’s happy, in fact keen, for us to share more clinical detail,” he said.

CBS News reports:


”[Malala] has some memory as to what happened, and remembers she was in Pakistan on a school bus one moment, and then, in the next, woke up in a foreign country. One of the first things she asked when she came out of her medically-induced coma Tuesday … was what country she was in.”
