Michelle Money's Daughter Leaves the Hospital 26 Days After Major Accident
Michelle Money can breathe a bit easier now.
Michelle announced Friday that her daughter Brielle was released from the hospital 26 days after a devastating accident. Michelle posted a slideshow of photos of Brielle standing in front of the hospital doors smiling and striking a power pose. The "Bachelor" alumna said Brielle left the hospital with "a whole new outlook on life."
She shared many details about Brielle’s recovery process, including how quickly she turned around and improved. Michelle wrote, "What Brielle has accomplished since she woke up from her coma is absolutely mind blowing. Her ability to push through the pain and frustration of relearning how to walk, talk, eat, drink, get dressed, shower, brush her teeth etc. is beyond impressive to watch as her mother."
Michelle shared that Brielle's speech therapist told her "that in the 6 years she has been working, she has never seen a kid recover as fast as Bri has."
