After losing her left eye and left hand to a spinning plane propeller<\/a>, Lauren Scruggs is re-learning some basic day-to-day functions.<\/p>\n

The model and fashion blogger<\/a>, 23, now has “no depth perception, making even walking up and down steps a hard thing to do,” Cheryl Scruggs writes on her daughter’s Caring Bridge website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Walking through a room<\/a> without running into something is also “a challenge,” she writes, and driving again will also prove a highly difficult task. “She will need to relearn how to drive and will not be driving for 2-3 months [and] only if she passes the required tests,” says Cheryl. <\/p>\n

What’s more, “Lo had a brain injury, which requires working hard at cognitive skills and regaining full use of her brain function.”<\/p>\n

Even more basic tasks have been compromised, her mother reports, thanks to the loss of Lauren’s left hand.<\/p>\n

“Losing her hand changes the way she dresses herself, opens her make-up containers (now with her teeth and right hand), and even making her bed.”<\/p>\n

Though her daughter (whose friends helped raise $10,000 for her medical bills<\/a>) has made great strides in her recovery<\/a>, the family is still facing an uphill battle dealing with their new reality.<\/p>\n

“We trust Jesus, but, being human, this is hard<\/em> … very very hard. Life stopped as we knew it, and changed over night.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
