Michelle Money revealed her daughter, Brielle, is “doing well” as she remains on life support.

On Monday (April 6), the Bachelor alum provided fans with a hopeful health update on the 15-year-old, who suffered serious brain trauma and a fractured skull last week following a skateboarding accident. Days after tearfully imploring fans to keep Brielle in their prayers as the teen’s brain pressure continued to rise, Michelle revealed her daughter’s recovery “seems to be heading in the right direction where we will not need to take other measures to keep this pressure down.”

“We are waiting to see that number get down into the single digits and stay there for a solid day before taking her off these meds keeping her sedated,” the reality star captions a series of nostalgic images of Brielle on Instagram. “In typical Brie fashion, she is doing things her way! 😉 I am honoring that process as best as I can. We all miss her and wish we were goofing off together, but she needs to do what works for her and her body right now.”

Amid this process, Michelle believes “Brielle is healing not only her physical body, but her spirit as well. She has been through so much and experienced a lot of pain that I think she is sorting out right now.”

Considering her daughter’s brain pressure is beginning to stabilize, Michelle is “feeling a lot more stable and confident and secure” that Brielle will pull through. “I think it’s definitely because I feel very strongly that she’s not gonna die,” she added of the teenager. “This whole week, every single day … has been torture. But I feel like with the progress we’re making, she is gonna come out of this.”

As of yet, Brielle remains in the ICU in a medically-induced coma at Intermountain Healthcare's Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Brielle is doing well today! Her numbers have been averaging around 16 with a few random spikes. She seems to be heading in the right directions where we will not need to take other measures to keep this pressure down! Thank God! We are waiting to see that number get down into the single digits and stay there for a solid day before taking her off these meds keeping her sedated. In typical Brie fashion, she is doing things her way! 😉 I am honoring that process as best as I can. We all miss her and wish we were goofing off together, but she needs to do what works for her and her body right now. I believe Brielle is healing not only her physical body, but her spirit as well. She has been through so much and experienced a lot of pain that I think she is sorting out right now. Those of you who know Brielle well, know that she is an old soul. Going through adolescence and teenage years has been difficult for her spirit. I have watched her fight a hard battle with trying to navigate life as a teenager while feeling so deeply and and seeing things in an incredibly mature way. She is incredibly sensitive to energy. The balance has been difficult. I do believe strongly that she wants to live her life here on earth and I trust that she will make that happen when its right for her. In the meantime, I am doing some soul searching and a lot of pondering and processing. There is an amazing opportunity for us as a collective to take this much needed time to heal our own wounds. We owe it to ourselves but we also owe it to our children. While we are all at home quarantined, maybe we can take some time to connect with our higher self and see the places in our life where we need to heal. Write the letter, make the phone call, have the hard conversation and do the work. The only way out is through. A lot of things are going to be changing for me. More compassion and forgiveness for others but most importantly, for myself. Mom guilt is so real and so painful. It causes us to make decisions based on fear. It is time to let that shit go. It is causing more pain and anxiety than it is helping. I see that clearly. Let’s pray for healing on all levels for all of us❤
