After a scary couple of days in the hospital, Brielle’s brain pressure began to stabilize last week, and since then, the teenager’s health has steadily continued to improve.
Sharing a big milestone on Friday, the Bachelor in Paradise alum, 39, revealed that her daughter had her breathing tube removed and had been weaned off of most of her medication.
“I’m just so proud of her,” she said of her daughter. “Things are going really good.”
View this post on Instagram Update: April 9th 11am SO MUCH PROGRESS!!! I do not say this flippantly, your prayers are being heard and felt. Brielle is doing so well. She is off almost all of her IV medications. She is still on the Dilaudid but they are trying to get her off of that today. They will switch to giving her morphine through a feeding tube. The nurse said that it is a 20 day weaning process on morphine to get her off of the pain, sedation and paralytic medicines. Brielle started moving and will raise her eyebrows when 'yelled' at or pinched. The medical staff is asking her to squeeze their fingers or move her toes and she will do it most of the time. Her left side is definitely more responsive than her right side. She moves her left hand a lot (video) and is getting some expressions in her face. – The sensor is out of her head!!!! So happy about that. TODAY – Brielle is getting an MRI and CT scan around noon. She might not need the CT scan, they are checking with Trauma to see. Here is some other big news, depending upon how early we get this MRI done and how much sedation/paralytic they have to give her to hold still, she could potentially get extubated today (where they take that breathing tube out of her throat). That would be such a big thing for Brielle, I know she hates that breathing tube. So please keep her in your thoughts that her MRI and CT scan will go well and that they will be able to take that breathing tube out. If the MRI comes back good then they will be able to take the neck brace off too!!!!!! LET'S GO!!! Brielle, we are so proud of you! For her to start moving made us all cry…A post shared by RyanMoney (@rcmoney) on Apr 9, 2020 at 9:54am PDT
Documenting another major step on the road to recovery, Brielle’s father said she started moving again.
“We have been without our Brie for over a week and so we are overjoyed by this,” said Ryan, who is trading off hospital visits with his ex, as only one parent is allowed to visit at a time due to new coronavirus hospital guidelines.

Brielle was first hospitalized on March 29 after being found injured by some neighbors, who placed the life-saving call to 9-1-1. She underwent surgery the next day.
Although Michelle has expressed regret about not being stricter when it came to making sure Brielle wore a helmet, the mom of one recently told fans that her daughter’s tragic accident played a part in helping to save another child’s life.
“The next huge win is this incredible story about this sweet little boy who got into a car accident on his scooter, and he was wearing a helmet because he saw Brielle’s story,” Michelle said in an Instagram update last week.
“I broke down in tears,” she added. “It is so crazy to think that Brielle and what she’s going through now saved another child’s life.
