Estelle Butcher, 99, who was taken out of the squalid conditions of her home on Tuesday, was yesterday resting comfortably at a nursing home.
Her grandson Sean Butcher told the DAILY NATION: “I took her there this morning (yesterday) and she is doing fine. She was eating and everything this morning and she told me that she was good.
“Her spirits are high and everything. She just has a little pain in the right hand side of her body.
“The most important thing to us [relatives] right now is that she is in good health,” said the grandson who, along with a daughter and granddaughter of the senior citizen “rescued” her from the house she shared with her 87-year-old husband and caretaker, Navarro Bayley, whom she married three years ago.
Butcher’s relatives and public health workers moved into her filthy surroundings at Deans Village, St Thomas.
Butcher was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for a medical check-up.
She will be 100 on February 28. (AH)
