Doctors hopeful East Timorese baby will make full recovery

Australian doctors are hopeful an East Timorese baby will make a full recovery after life saving surgery at the Royal Brisbane Hospital in Queensland.

Lauren Harte reports, three-week old Roslia Guteres arrived in Australia last week for the operation.

The infant is back in intensive care and is said to be in a satisfactory condition. Roslia suffers breathing difficulties, because of a condition which enlarges blood vessels blocking her airways. With treatment for her condition unavailable in East Timor she was flown to the Royal Brisbane Hospital under a Rotary Medical Aid Program last week. Roslia's mother along with a translator was by her side when she came out of the operation. Doctors are continuing to monitor her condition.
