In an update to a Givealittle page set up by a workmate, Alen Alsati's father said she was able to sit up for half an hour. However, they are unsure what Alen can and can't see and her eyes do not track or fix on anyone.
"Please keep praying for us - every small development is very exciting," the family said.
Speaking to Checkpoint last week, her father - Christchurch barber Wasseim Alsati - said he would always take Alen for a fluffy and two marshmallows on Friday mornings, and then take her home before prayers - but that day they went to the mosque together.
