Michelle Money’s ex-husband Ryan reveals their daughter Brielle is walking and talking again

Just three weeks after a terrifying skateboarding accident that nearly cost her life, Michelle Money’s daughter Brielle is starting to walk and talk again.

The Bachelor star’s ex-husband Ryan Money posted a new update Wednesday on Instagram, where he revealed new photos of his 16-year-old daughter’s siblings coming to visit her.

Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus spread, they were separated by a window, but Ryan revealed in his update that her progress is ‘crushing’ expectations. 

‘With the coronavirus, Brielle’s siblings came to visit her but had to stay outside…Brielle is absolutely crushing our expectations,’ Ryan Money began.

‘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 added.

He added that Brielle has ‘proudly proclaimed that, ‘I do not have one tube hooked up to me anymore.’ 

Brielle suffered a serious brain injury following a skateboarding accident less than a month ago.

But now, Ryan updated, ‘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 are ALL GONE!’

‘Nobody is more excited about this than she is. Ever since the tubes have been gone we have not been able to keep her down. We think that she will be able to come home next week sometime,’ Ryan added.

‘She will continue to work on getting her full strength back, but we are confident that she will get there,’ Ryan added.

He also said that, while she will likely get back to full strength, the doctors urged her to be ‘extremely cautious’ for between six months and a full year.

That means, ‘no riding bikes, running, sports for her,’ though he added it is, ‘a small price to pay for the injury she sustained.’

‘We continue to have a place in our heart for all of you out there who helped Brielle and us get through this,’ Ryan continued. 

‘As a parent, I cannot tell you in words what this whole experience has been like, from watching her in the ICU to the first time she moved, talked and then moved to the NTU, to receiving your prayers, fasts, thoughts and energy,’ he added.

‘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 concluded.
