Sixteen-month-old Nicholas Cox, who was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), after he was allegedly given an overdose of medication at the facility, is still fighting for his life as his condition slowly improves.

His mother, Debra Archer, told this newspaper yesterday that her son is slowing slight signs of improvement and is responding to her touch little by little.
