The 54-day-old girl was being treated at Tripler Army Medical Center after being transported aboard a C-130 long-range search plane.
The plane, which also carried a medical assist team including a Coast Guard flight surgeon, left American Samoa Monday evening and arrived on Oahu about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday,
