AceShowbiz - Michelle Money's daughter is on the road to recovery. Two weeks after suffering a serious head injury in a skateboarding accident, 15-year-old Brielle was reported by her father, Ryan Money, to have gone back to her old ways, giving those around her "a hard time."
Sharing Brielle's progress in an Instagram post on Monday, April 13, Ryan revealed that the teenager has finally been moved to neuroscience trauma unit. "Brielle has come in guns a blazin," he noted. "Pretty sure that we can confidently say that her personality has not changed. 48 hours ago we had not heard her talk....and now this."
"When FaceTiming Ashley and the kids, Ash asked her if I was entertaining her and she said, 'He's driving me crazy.' She also wants 'coconut redbull', 'Diet Coke' and 'Ben & Jerry's ice cream' pretty bad," Ryan recalled the teen's conversation with his current wife. "She currently has 3 favorite pastimes: giving the medical staff and myself a hard time, talking about what she wants to drink, or sleeping."
Though so, Ryan admitted that Brielle's health progress made him happy. "She is recognizing many people in the photos that are up in her room," he continued. "To think back about all the questions we had about her and the extent of her injuries, this helps us know some important things."
"We are definitely not out of the woods yet on all of this, but to hear her talk, make symmetrical expressions, eat, and move all of her extremities in physical therapy is HUGE and literally nothing short of a miracle. Brielle's progress in the last 24 hours is absolutely contributed to you prayers. I am SO GRATEFUL for you. I cry many times thinking about how grateful I am. Thank you!"
Brielle got into the accident in late March. At the time, her mother and Ryan's ex, Michelle, informed her fans that the teen was "in the ICU on life support" since she "suffered a serious brain trauma and a fractured skull." Michelle added, "She is in a medically induced coma to relieve pressure in her brain. She is in amazing hands up at Primary Children's Hospital."
A week later, "The Bachelor" alum tearfully shared that Brielle might be put "into a deeper coma that has lots of other side effects that we don't want or we're gonna have to do surgery and remove part of her skull." She then begged her fans, "However you choose to spend your day, I would please ask that at 4pm MST, you will stop and pray with my family and me."
