Overview
- Hennepin Healthcare said Wednesday evening that the 12-year-old, the last hospitalized victim from the Aug. 27 attack, is now in serious condition after two weeks listed as critical.
- Chief neurosurgeon Dr. Walt Galicich previously detailed that part of her skull was removed to relieve swelling and that injured brain vessels were repaired.
- Doctors say the bullet remains lodged and that removing it would not help and could worsen her condition.
- Galicich said the team is starting to move out of the most worrisome period, though risks remain, and the hospital’s definition of “serious” includes a chance for improved prognosis.
- Her parents said tests will determine which brain areas are affected and when she can be awakened, and a verified GoFundMe for the family has raised more than $1 million.
