Despite the fact that she suffers from short-term memory loss and is required to wear a helmet, Kaylee Gain has returned home after spending a month in the hospital and two weeks at a rehabilitation center.
During a fight that took place on March 8 outside of Gain’s high school in St. Louis, she sustained significant injuries. It was stated by KSDK that a video of the event showed one girl continuously striking another female into the concrete throughout the argument. In the past, the police have said that they had detained a girl who is 15 years old in connection with the fight.
As of May 9, the most recent information coming from Bryan Kaemmerer, an attorney who represents Gain’s family, describes Gain’s progress in her recuperation. Due to the fact that she has had a craniectomy, which is a surgical operation that involves the removal of a portion of the skull in order to alleviate pressure on the brain, he mentions that she is required to wear a modified helmet.
According to Kaemmerer, Gain will ultimately need surgery to reconnect the portion of the skull, which will necessitate a further stay in the hospital.
The report that Kaemmerer provides is that Kaylee continues to struggle with short-term memory loss despite the fact that she attends speech and physical therapy sessions around three days per week. “Kaylee is also scheduled to undergo extensive neuropsychological testing later this summer in an effort to determine the long-term impact that her injuries will have on her cognitive function,” the statement reads.
According to Fox 2, the new information comes one day before the suspect who was detained in connection with the incident is scheduled to appear in court for a certification hearing. Following the hearing, a judge will determine whether or not she will be prosecuted as an adult.
As far as Kaemmerer is concerned, Gain will not be present at the hearing on May 10; however, her mother, father, and stepmother will be there.
Over $48,000 has been received via a GoFundMe campaign designated for Gain’s recuperation.
