The family ofKaylee Gain— the Missouri teen who suffered “traumatic brain injuries” following a fight near her high school earlier this month — is sharing an update on her health.
“Kaylee also recently began speech therapy, and has gone on a few short walks with the assistance of hospital staff as she is still unable to ambulate on her own,” the statement continued.
“However, Kaylee does not have any recollection of the altercation that led to her hospitalization," the statement added.

Kaemmerer’s statement also confirmed that Gain was involved in an “altercation with a different female student” the day before the fight that landed her in the hospital. He wrote that it was “presently unclear” if the latter fight had anything to do with the previous “altercation.”
Elsewhere in the statement, Kaemmerer noted that the Gain family spotted screenshots from a social media page presumably belonging to the 15-year-old student who was arrested in connection with the fight, though he said he couldn’t confirm their “authenticity.”
Kaemmerer wrote that the posts mentioned joining the “WWE or MMA,” and featured the teen calling the fight “calculated.”
He argued in his statement that the alleged posts showed “complete disregard for the well-being of a fellow human being" and argued that the teen, whose identity has not been shared due to her age, should “be tried as an adult.”
