Days after being hospitalised with a yet to be diagnosed illness that claimed the life of their six-year-old sister, toddlers Destiny and Devine Sandy have started to show signs of improvement.

While making preparations for the burial of their daughter Akila, who succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) on Monday, Phillip and Wendy Sandy were yesterday relieved that their daughters, two-year-old Destiny and 18-month-old Devine, appear to be recovering.

A post-mortem examination (PME) is expected to be performed today on Akila’s body and the worried couple hopes that it would determine the cause of death so that the lives of her siblings’ can be saved.
