(APR 15) In a news article today  the physician, Prof. Dr. Benedikt Friemert, Chief of Trauma Surgery-Orthopaedics at the Military Hospital Ulm, where El-Halabi received her treatment after being shot several times by her step father, Roy El-Halabi, reports that she is doing well and healing up. Dr. Friemert even goes as far as to say that she will possibly be able to get back into the gym in the fall. El-Halabi said, "I feel better every day".

In translating some of the highlights (only) of this article, Dr. Friemert said that the gunshot wounds have healed well although there remains the great risk of infection. He said that the gunshot wound in El-Halabi's left lower leg, the bone was slightly injured, and that the bullet wound in her right foot, the bones of the midfoot, he is hoping that the bone parts will grow back together properly. Dr. Friemert said that if that did not happen that one has to think about a stiffening of the joints, and that a determination would be made in about two months.

Dr. Friemert talked about the "right hand" that was severely injured by a bullet. "The third metacarpal bone was smashed, tendons, nerves, and bones are broken", added Dr. Friemert.

Dr. Friemert charged here with a more favorable recovery. For the sport is the problem of bone, in everyday life the damaged nerves in the palm. Another injury, a smooth penetration in the right thigh, is already well healed, says the orthopedist.

Basically, Professor Dr. Friemert expressed optimism that the world boxing champion will be able to exercise again. "If everything goes perfectly, they can begin again in the Fall with the boxing."
