Support for Marlene Bird pours in from across the country
Support for Marlene Bird, a woman badly injured in a violent assault earlier this month, is pouring in from across the country.
Bird, 47, received burns that led to both her legs being amputated and facial injuries requiring reconstructive surgery. The burns to her lower back require skin grafts.
She is now in stable condition in the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, and is now off life support, but the tubes have not yet been removed.
She has been communicating with family members through nodding and blinking.
