"She is very determined and is trying to stand, and she moves around a lot even with her many fractures still healing."

"We are so humbled by the outpouring of love and support that everyone has shown us and we will forever be very grateful."

"It will take a while but Phoebe is very determined and very strong, and with all of us behind her she has definitely got this. She is a survivor. Once again, thank you everyone for being there for Phoebe and us."
