The nine-month-old daughter of Bondi stabbing spree victim Ashlee Good has had her condition in hospital upgraded from “critical” to “serious”.
NSW Health Minister Ryan Park said he was “delighted” by the news, and that it was “a big change and a significant improvement”.
“What we hope to do is get the baby on the ward in the coming days. That would be a great outcome,” Park said.
“Her dad and her family are receiving significant support as you could imagine.”
Park said it was news the whole country had been “holding its breath” for.
Besides the baby, who is being cared for at Sydney Children’s Hospital, seven other patients wounded in the Saturday attack at Westfield in Bondi also remain under care.
Authorities had previously said 12 patients had been taken to hospital.
Others may have presented to hospital independently with minor injuries, Police Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke said.
Some patients have since been discharged.
As of this morning, NSW Health said, two patients – a male and a female – were both in a stable condition in intensive care at St Vincents Hospital.
A female patient at the Royal Prince Alfred is in a serious but stable condition in intensive care, and one male patient is in a stable condition on a ward.
Two other female patients, at Prince of Wales Hospital and St George Hospital, are in a stable condition.
And one female patient at the Royal North Shore Hospital is in intensive care, in a stable condition.
