A 12-year-old girl who has been in the hospital for weeks after she was shot during the attack at Annunciation Catholic Church is making progress and preparing to move to an inpatient rehabilitation program later this week, her family said on Monday.
Sophia Forchas was shot in the left temple lobe during the attack that killed two children and injured 21. Her surgeon originally told reporters he initially considered any hope for her recovery "a miracle."
Forchas spent over two weeks in critical condition before she was elevated to "serious" condition on Sept. 11. She was the last remaining victim in critical condition.
"We're thrilled to share that Sophia continues to make steady progress, showing promising signs of neurological recovery," her family said in a statement Monday
