Michelle Money‘s daughter is improving every day.
The former “Bachelor” contestant, 39, re-shared footage her ex and Brielle’s father, Ryan Money, filmed of their daughter moving her hand after being taken off paralysis-inducing medications.
“SO MUCH PROGRESS!!! I do not say this flippantly, your prayers are being heard and felt. Brielle is doing so well,” Michelle captioned the emotional video. “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.”
A nurse told Michelle that it would be a “20 day weaning process on morphine” to get Brielle, 15, off of other medications, including sedation, though she’s already showing more signs of movement.
“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,” she shared. “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 former couple is also hoping Brielle’s breathing tube will soon be removed.
“That would be such a big thing for Brielle,” she wrote. “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.”
She added, “Brielle, we are so proud of you! For her to start moving made us all cry…”
Brielle’s successes come after her mom shared a photo of herself carrying a bag of her daughter’s brain fluid.
Brielle has been in the ICU since the end of March following a skateboarding accident.
