There’s good news and bad news for Lauren Scruggs, the model and fashion blogger<\/a> who was severely injured<\/a> when she accidentally walked into a spinning plane propeller on Dec. 3.<\/p>\n

“Lauren is recovering remarkably well<\/a>, given the circumstances,” her mother, Cheryl Scruggs, said in a statement Wednesday night. “The doctors are VERY pleased with her progress<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Scruggs, 23, who lost her left hand and suffered facial and shoulder injuries in the accident as well, had to have her left eye removed on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

“She is in excruciating pain,” says her mother. “Please pray for her appetite to return and for her to have the patience to take this journey one day at a time.”<\/p>\n

“We have been praying for a miracle,” Cheryl Scruggs continues, and though doctors weren’t able to save Lauren’s eye as they’d hoped, Cheryl adds: “The miracle that Jesus gave us is a prosthesis. We continue to be eternally grateful for your prayers and support. It means more than words can say.”<\/p>\n

Scruggs’s family and friends regularly update her condition on her Caring Bridge<\/a> website, and they’ve set up a Lauren Scruggs Hope Fund<\/a> for donations to help with her ongoing care. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
