A nanny who suffered extensive burns when, she said, a relative of ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's family poured boiling water on her, may be discharged from a hospital in Malta as early as next week. She has been receiving medial treatment there since she arrived from Libya in September.

CNN journalists came upon domestic worker Shweyga Mullah in August in the plush home of Gadhafi's son Hannibal Gadhafi after anti-Gadhafi forces overran Tripoli. Mullah, in her 20s, was sitting on the floor of an empty building.

She worked as a nanny for two of the couple's children. When she couldn't keep one from crying, and refused to beat the child, she said Aline Gadhafi poured the boiling water on her head.

Now, after weeks of treatment, hospital officials Mullah continues to make good progress. Since she arrived in Malta on September 15, she's had two different sets of surgical procedures.
