Family celebrates as daughter leaves hospital after DUI crash

The Wilhite family in Utah had a momentous occasion on Wednesday as they welcomed daughter Sabrina back home after a 117-day hospitalization. Sabrina's mother, Jen Wilhite, expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love and support they had received throughout this challenging time. The distance from Intermountain Medical Center to the Wilhite residence is just eight miles, but for the family, it felt much farther due to the hardships they faced. Sabrina's health had once deteriorated to the point where she was completely reliant on machines for survival as she couldn't move her body independently. The family's life took a drastic turn in November when they received the devastating news that Sabrina and her sister had been hit by a drunk driver near Tuba City, Arizona. Sabrina's injuries were severe, and there were moments when the doctors were unsure if she would pull through. However, each day of her recovery marked a new milestone, and her parents marveled at her strength and determination to overcome the odds. Sabrina's journey included learning to breathe on her own, speak, and eventually regain the ability to walk. With unwavering resolve, Sabrina set her sights on a future involving public speaking and digital marketing opportunities. The symbolic act of walking out of the hospital represented a significant achievement in her arduous path towards recovery.
