Josh Wharton, who runs a non-profit in the area where the Briscoe family lives and is also a friend to them, streamed an update on the condition of the two girls on Facebook on Thursday. He said that Gracie, Jay’s 12-year-old daughter, regained feeling in her lower extremities, having no feeling a day before below her thighs. Wharton said she was able to get out of her bed a few times and used the wheelchair. Moreover, she was off her IV medications and will take medicines orally now.

Talking about the 9-year-old Jayleigh, Wharton said she was fitted for her back brace on Friday and got into a wheelchair for an hour. Although she still has an NG tube in place, there is hope that they can take out the tube on Saturday. Jayleigh is still on IV medications. Wharton noted that there have been improvements in the conditions of both girls, but they have a “long road of recovery ahead of them.”
