Woman injured in airplane crash is making a remarkable recovery
A young woman who was seriously injured from a plane crash is making a slow but steady in her recovery.
Posted — Updated“A lot of my associates did ask me like, 'What do you remember? Do you remember anything?'” said Northcutt. ”To be honest, I just went AHH and then it just went boom!”
Jerolyn Northcutt, Dominique Northcutt’s mother and caretaker, witnessed her daughter’s gradual recovery.
“She took her right hand and picked the ball up and threw it back to Maliha,” said Jerolyn Northcutt.
But the miracle didn't stop there. The next day she wrote a note saying she was thirsty, and then she spoke. Her mother will never forget her first words: "I want cheeseburger and fries from McDonalds."
"And I said, 'Oh my God! She’s talking!'” Jerolyn Northcutt told WRAL News.
She has not stopped talking about food since.
“Some soul food. Oh my God! You’re going to make me hungry. Some fried chicken with collard greens and yams and cornbread. Oh my God, you’re making me hungry!” Dominique exclaimed.
Her mother plans to take care of all of that on Thanksgiving. But right now, the focus is on getting physical therapy that is financially out of reach.
“Her neck, her spine, her right arm, her left side doesn’t move, and her toes are curved in. We are asking for help to get her to a rehabilitation facility," Jerolyn Northcutt said.
