TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The family of the 9-year-old girl who survived an apparent shark attack spoke out about their daughter’s recovery progress at Tampa General Hospital (TGH).
Leah Lendel and her family gave the update on her emotional journey alongside the hospital’s medical team on Thursday, where doctors spoke about the measures they took to save Lendel’s hand.
“Everybody that was taking care of her was doing a great job,” Leah’s mother said. “From what I witnessed, I didn’t think she was going to have a hand. It was really, really bad.”
