The condition of the 19-year-old woman who fell four storeys when her apartment balcony partially collapsed earlier this month is improving.

Meaghan Delcourt was moved earlier this week from the Intensive Care Unit to the Trauma Unit at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus, according to friends and family.

“She’s getting better,” said Michel Harik, who owns the Robbie’s Italian Restaurant where Delcourt works as a bartender. “She’s going to make it.”

According to Harik, Delcourt was one of three bartenders on duty the night of July 4. “It was a very slow night,” he said, “And I asked, ‘Who would like to go home?’ and she said ‘I’ll go, I’ll go.’

Hours later, Delcourt was rushed to hospital suffering head and abdominal injuries and a fractured thigh bone following her 15 metre fall onto a loading dock from her fourth-storey balcony at 2535 Othello Ave. at Pleasant Park Road.

“The next morning when I opened up, I got the call from her grandmother,” said Harik. “And from that day we’ve been just praying for her.”

Yet while Delcourt’s health improves, her grandfather, Jim Warren, warns that she remains in serious condition. “It will be some time before she is back to anything resembling a normal life.”
