A newborn baby who was seriously injured in a fall that killed his grandmother in Vietnam has returned to hospital after being discharged last week.
Auckland woman Julie Ferne, 68, died last month after toppling over a staircase railing and falling nearly 7m with grandson Carter Preston in her arms at her son's home in Ho Chi Minh City.
Carter, who was four days old at the time, was discharged from Ho Chi Minh Children's Hospital last Monday.
But his father Phil Preston said today that his son was back in hospital after developing a cold.
"It's just to make sure that if he does get a fever they control it quickly. But they don't seem to be worried about it,'' he told APNZ.
