Brielle Money, the daughter of former “Bachelor” contestant Michelle Money, is walking and talking again after her skateboarding accident in March.
Wednesday on Instagram, Brielle’s father and Michelle’s ex, Ryan, posted a positive update on his 15-year-old daughter, who 10 days ago was immobile and mute.
“With the coronavirus, Brielle’s siblings came to visit her but had to stay outside,” Ryan captioned a photo of Brielle’s siblings holding supportive signs outside of the hospital.
“Brielle is absolutely crushing our expectations,” he continued. “Everything that we were prepared for she is blowing out of the water. To think that 10 days ago she hadn’t moved and we had not heard her speak, and she is now walking and talking and it would be hard for you to tell that she was just 3 weeks out from an accident.”
Ryan adds that all medical machines have been removed from Brielle’s body, including “the sensor in her head, the drain in her head, the pic line in her leg, the IVs in both arms and foot, the breathing tube and the feeding tube.”
“ALL GONE!” he exclaimed.
Though he believes Brielle will be able to come home next week, the teenager will continue her process of recovery, which means she will not be able play sports or do physical activity like bike riding for six months to a year.
However, he notes that this sacrifice “is a small price to pay for the injury she sustained.”
Ryan also gave thanks to fans who have supported his family throughout this harrowing ordeal.
“WE LOVE YOU. We owe you more than we can repay so grateful for all the good that was poured out upon us! Thank you!!” he wrote.
In late March, Michelle announced that her daughter was on life support after suffering serious brain trauma and a fractured skull from her accident.
Brielle then had to undergo surgery to “remove fluid from her brain” as “her brain just has so much swelling.”
After Brielle had her breathing tube removed and was weaned off of most of her medication on April 10, she was relocated to the hospital’s neuroscience trauma unit two days later.
Sending love and positive energy to Brielle amid her recovery.
