Alexiss says thanks to the hard work of medical staff at St. Luke's in Boise, support from the community, and the perseverance of Nevaeh what was once a hope has now become a reality.

"Now we're hopping, jumping, and she's even attempting to jump on the couch which has scared me a few times," says Alexiss.

She also says she purchased a tricycle for Nevaeh to use in her physical therapy, which has done wonders for her recovery. And that one of the biggest surprises she's encountered, is that even after the experience Nevaeh went through in September, she isn't afraid of dogs.

On Saturday, Nov. 30 Outlaws & Angels in Bliss organized and hosted a fundraiser for Nevaeh's family. A second fundraiser has also been planned. A benefit for Nevaeh Lyyne Goedhart organized by
