A 6-week-old was fighting for her life after she was raped by her 24-year-old uncle.
Now, a doctor at the Kimberley Hospital in South Africa, said that the baby is making progress and is expected to make a full recovery.
Gynecologist Jan van Soest was part of a seven-member team, who operated on the baby to save her life.
The operation on the 6-week-old lasted two hours.
Van Soest said that the baby girl is expected to recover physically, and she will very likely one day be able to have children of her own.
The gynecologist also said that when the baby was brought into the hospital she was so traumatized that doctors were unable to examine her until she was given anesthesia.
The uncle who is still in jail and has not been granted bail, turned down the help of a legal aid lawyer, as he wants to defend himself.
Magistrate’s Court judge Kubashnie Padayachee warned him of the seriousness of the charges.
“I am sharp. I will defend myself,” he said.
As we reported earlier, a 22-year-old mother was left traumatized after her own brother raped her newborn baby.
The six-week-old baby girl is fighting for her life after being raped by her 24-year-old uncle.
The baby is in an intensive care unit after being taken to Kimberley hospital in South Africa, around 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
The baby underwent an emergency surgery to repair the damage done to her intestine.
It all began after the mother had put the baby to sleep in a bedroom in her mother’s home in Galeshewe.
The mother and grandmother watched television in the living room.
A short time later, the mother heard her baby crying and went to check on her.
