THE NIGHTMARES have finally stopped. Brave little Xavier Bertram no longer awakes in the middle of the night, screaming out for daddy.
He’s back to sleeping with the lights off too. That was far from the case three months ago, when the nine-year-old shooting victim was expectedly a nervous wreck. Days after being hit by a stray bullet as he walked through Bridgetown with his father, Augustus Bertram, on March 6, Xavier underwent emergency brain surgery.
But his recovery now seems complete, and his father couldn’t be happier. “Xavier is coming along very good. He is doing everything he is supposed to do.
