A homecoming for a five year old girl severely injured in a crash in Hagersville in March.
Maeve Field has returned home after spending 130 days in the hospital.
Her mother posted a picture of Maeve leaving the doors with a cape reading 'Mighty Maeve.'
Gloria Field says they marked the occasion by leaving the ambulance entrance where her daughter was rushed into back in March with life-threatening injuries.
Field says her daughter will have to start her amputee rehab in the fall.
Maeve was hit by an out of control car in the parking lot of a hardware store on March 9th.
Her brother was also injured.
So far over $142,000 has been raised on a go fund me page that will help Maeve's parents offset the bills and expenses that will continue to accumulate as her treatment continues.
Here is her mother's update:
July 18th, 2019 UPDATE Thank you to everyone for your patience and for respecting our privacy. We know you all care deeply about Maeve and all wish to know how she is doing. Today we have some excellent news! After 130 days as an inpatient, Mighty Maeve has been discharged from the hospital and it is SO GOOD to be home. We wanted to emphasize this accomplishment, so we departed the hospital through the doors we arrived at- the ambulance entrance. We are the proudest parents in the world. We won’t be saying ‘goodbye’ to the hospital by any stretch; Maeve still has follow-up appointments (right now, still twice per week at least) with multiple specialities and there will be more surgeries as she continues to grow, both at the hospital and community medical professionals. Maeve will begin her amputee rehab in the fall with an incredibly dedicated and comprehensive team of therapists and physicians. For now, Maeve gets to enjoy her newly updated ‘big girl’ bedroom, snuggling with her doggies and falling asleep outside by the campfire; her favourite therapies. What a journey this has been; more like a marathon, really- and you’ve all been there for us every step of the way. We are eternally grateful for the support, messages, prayers and fundraising that has taken place. Every single donation has and will continue to be employed to improve the quality of Maeve’s life and help secure her future. Thank you for giving Maeve these opportunities. When we moved to Haldimand 5 years ago, it was with the purpose of providing Maeve with a safe childhood out in the country. While we couldn’t have predicted or prevented what happened to her, the response of the community has reinforced loud and clear that we made the right choice in settling down where we did. It takes a village to raise a child and we are so grateful to be able to bring her home where she belongs. Thank you and we will continue to post updates via this page as Maeve moves through her recovery and rehabilitation. Enjoy your summer! -Gloria Field, Mighty Maeve's Mama Photos are: Maeve leaving the hospital and the flowers I refreshed in the pot located at the accident site.
