An update on the condition of the Missouri teen viciously beaten in a caught-on-camera brawl earlier this month is “imminent,” her agonized grandmother said Saturday.
Kaylee Gain, 16, was seriously injured during a fight with another girl a few blocks from Hazelwood East High School in Spanish Lake on March 8. Her family plans to provide an update on her condition shortly, grandmother Terry Nordstrom Thompson told the Daily Mail.
“That’s all I can say right now,” she added.
Thompson wrote that she was “devastated” on Facebook Friday night with a meme that read, “Have you ever just said ‘I’m fine’ when you weren’t because some people wouldn’t understand?”
She previously posted that Gain “may not recover” from the fight that led to brain bleeding and a skull fracture.
Shocking footage showed the teen being pinned down and having her head slammed on the concrete several times by an unidentified teen. The other girl is believed to be 15 and was later taken into custody.
“Kaylee is fighting hard to stay alive and heal but this is only the beginning of a very uphill battle for Kaylee and her family,” an online fundraiser for the teen reads.
