She underwent emergency surgery and was in critical condition for several days, with some blood stasis in her brain as well as fractures in both legs.
Earlier today, Mr Tan gave a positive update — although Lovelynn hadn’t regained consciousness yet, her brain swelling had reduced.
Her condition was improving, but the anxiousness still remained since she hadn’t woken up yet.
But 5 hours ago, Mr Tan gave the good news.
Lovelynn was finally awake, after 12 days.
Although he gave no further updates beyond this news, this is a mightily positive development.
