News of the setback comes just four days after Retton’s family said her progress had been “truly remarkable.” “Although she remains in the ICU, her path to recover is steadily unfolding,” they wrote on October 14. “Her fighting spirit is truly shining through.”hoping to raise $50,000 for her care. In the week that has passed since the page launched, over $450,000 has been raised, eight times its initial goal.
