BROWNFIELD, Texas - The nine-year-old Texas girl whom President Donald Trump asked the nation to pray for is out of the ICU after successful brain surgery.
Sophia Marie Campa-Peters underwent brain surgery on Friday at Boston Children’s Hospital for a rare disorder in which the blood vessels in her brain narrow and close. The condition results in constant strokes.
During a press briefing last week, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders passed along an encouraging message from President Donald Trump: “He told me to tell you to keep fighting, to never give up, keep inspiring us all, and never, ever lose faith in God. With Him, all things are possible.”
Sophia's father, Scott Andy Peters, posted about his daughter's recovery on Facebook Sunday morning, saying she's getting back to her "normal, goofy, silly self."
The post read, "Sophia is out of ICU, she is in a regular room and doing well! Physical Therapist says she looks great. She is eating pizza and watching Frozen, getting back to her normal, goofy, silly self."
