The 19-year-old Austrian girl held captive since birth by her father in a basement, has been reunited with her family after waking from a medically-induced coma, reported CNN.
Lawyers for the family said Wednesday that Kerstin Fritzl, one of seven children whom authorities say Josef Fritzl confessed to fathering, met with other family members on Sunday, shortly after doctors woke her from an artificially induced coma she had been in for weeks.
Doctors for Kerstin say she was treated for multiple organ failure but is making a "remarkable recovery" and can now speak, stand and walk with assistance.
Kerstin was admitted to hospital in Amstetten, west of Vienna, on April 19 in an unconscious state after her mother Elisabeth persuaded Fritzl that she needed medical attention. Suspicious medics alerted police, who opened an investigation.
Police say Fritzl, 73, has confessed to holding his Elisabeth captive and fathering seven children, six of whom survived.
The two parts of the family -- those who were locked in a basement, like Kerstin, and those who lived above ground, apparently unaware of the abuse -- are getting to know each other again, the doctors and lawyer said at a media conference in the town of Zeillern.
Doctor Albert Reiter, who led the team of doctors treating Kerstin, described the moment when she first opened her eyes as "very emotional", adding that her mother Elizabeth had played a huge part in the recovery process by being at her bedside each day.
"For all of us, Kerstin's surprising recovery is a great relief," said Berthold Kepplinger, director of a psychiatric clinic where the family is recovering.
Kepplinger, who described the reunion as a "touching moment," said Kerstin has expressed "many wishes," including going on a boat trip. Reiter added that she also wanted to go to a Robbie Williams concert and had even attempted to dance to his music in bed before her tubing was removed.
The lawyer for the family appealed for the media to respect the family's privacy, so that they could adapt to their new life without intrusion.
