Rihanna Reed, the 11-year-old girl who survived a three-storey fall from her mother's Maloney Gardens apartment yesterday is sedated at the Paediatric Unit of the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, relatives said.

Speaking with Newsday, father Ryan Reed said his daughter suffered a fractured hip and had swelling in her brain. He said she was treated and was expected to regan consciousness in the next few days.

"She is still sedated. They can't take her out of it until the swelling in her head goes down. She didn't suffer a fractured skull or anything. It's really tough but we are trying to make the best of it."

Reed also said Rihanna's mother Ermine Celestine was at the hospital watching over her.
