The update was paired with a sweet video of Brielle playing with her little sister.
Ryan was astounded by how quickly his daughter began to bounce back, writing: ‘5 days ago she hadn’t moved for 2 weeks and had a breathing tube in. Now we are facetiming family members one after another until they get bored of us.’
He said that she was still sharp as ever, cracking jokes with the family during these digital hangouts.
‘Brie has not lost her sense of humor,’ her dad went on. ‘Just tonight Brie told her uncle Nick that her hair looked better than his and she has had staples and stitches (those coronavirus haircuts are tough)! We all got a good laugh out of that one.’
They’ve been keeping a mellow routine, as Ryan explained: ‘Brie and I cruised the hospital tonight before bed. I pushed the wheelchair but feel like she may have been able to push me. We got back to the room and she stood at the sink, brushed her teeth, and went right to bed.’
