In a GoFundMe post, they wrote: “The initial prognosis was not good, but the neurosurgeons in Sicily said they considered Hannah to be like their little sister and vowed not to give up hope, her survival was their top priority. We are beginning to see some glimmers of hope as she has started to react to touch and is making some minor movement, what her recovery will look like is still unknown.”
