LONDON — Irma Hadzimuratovic, the 5-year-old Bosnian girl whose plight spurred an emergency airlift from Sarajevo, was taken off the critical list for the first time Friday.
But a spokeswoman at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children said Irma still has a long way to go.
Irma is being treated for meningitis and for shrapnel injuries caused by a Serbian mortar round that killed her mother July 30. She has spent most of her 11 days in London unconscious or under sedation and remains on a respirator. Doctors still do not know whether she will suffer permanent paralysis from spinal injuries.
