Kerstin Fritzl Continues to Recover

Vienna, Austria

The Goose reported earlier this week that Kerstin Fritzl had emerged from her medically induced coma and was reunited with her mother and siblings.

Her doctors now report that her recovery is coming along beautifully, and that she is well enough to sit up and even stand with assistance.

Perhaps more inspiring is that, realizing she is free, Kerstin has said she wants to see the ocean, and to see a Robbie Williams concert. Recently she was up until 3AM listening to Robbie Williams in her hospital bed, moving around so much her doctors had to ask her to settle down.

It seems unbelievable that a young woman who didn't see the light of day for the first 19 years of her life could emerge from the ordeal with such normal desires and behavior. Certainly in time she will need therapy to overcome her dark past, but it is truly awe-inspiring to think that in spite of it all, even from a hospital bed, Kerstin is just another teenage girl staying up late and dancing to her favorite music. You go girl.
