The nine year-old boy who almost drowned with his brother at Reykdalsstífla in Hafnarfjörður last week is in good health according to information from the National University hospital and has been discharged from ER and is now at the Hringur children's hospital. According to mbl.is sources it's only a matter of days before he gets to go home.
The boy was kept on a respirator for the first few days following the accident and his body was cooled down to try to prevent any brain damage from cardiac arrest. His brother, aged 12 who tried to save him but ended up in the waterfall as well, was discharged after a couple of days in hospital.
