Mother of Six-Year-Old Injured in Crash Caused By Alleged Trump Assassin Shares Hopeful Update

The mother of a six-year-old girl named Mia, who was severely injured during a car accident apparently caused by alleged attempted Trump assassin Ryan Routh, says her daughter is awake and starting a rehabilitation program to “restart her brain.”

Norka Pardo was in a vehicle with her daughter Mia Rosalie Monreal, her youngest son, and her boyfriend when they got into a terrible accident on Interstate 95. According to Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, the crash happened during law enforcement’s apprehension and arrest of Routh.

Mia had to be airlifted to a hospital for surgery and then went to St. Mary’s Medical Center for a month and a half, WPTV reported. The young child suffered a severe brain injury and was in a coma for a month, Pardo told the news station.

In an update posted on Christmas Eve to a GoFundMe page set up for the family by a friend, Pardo said Mia was admitted to Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital on December 18, “for the program of ‘Disorders of Consciousness.'”

“We have been waiting for this point of her recovery process for a couple of months now and we are glad we are finally here,” she wrote.

“In Mia’s current state, her eyes are open but there’s a severe lack of awareness and responsiveness,” Pardo continued. “For the next 3-4 weeks, the program will consist of intense therapy to restart her brain. Depending on how she progresses, It will determine the next stage of her rehabilitation or if we will be heading home.”

Pardo asked for prayers so the family can continue to see improvements and signed off, “I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas and a Happy New Year’s. God bless!”

In addition to charges stemming from the assassination attempt, Florida has charged Routh with attempted murder over the car crash that so severely injured Mia.

“Despite the federal government frustrating our efforts, which we continue to challenge in court, we found that Mr. Routh’s actions caused catastrophic injuries to a six-year-old girl,” Moody said earlier this month. “My heart breaks for the child and her family, and while we continue to seek justice for President Trump, we will fight just as hard to ensure Mr. Routh pays for the tragedy his criminal actions brought on this Florida family.”

Pardo said she wants justice for Mia. “None of that is going to fix anything,” she told WPTV. “She’s still in the hospital, we’re still going through this, but I just hope he pays for what he did.”

Pardo has reportedly been taking off of work to be with her daughter in the hospital. The fundraiser for the family has so far brought in about $24,000, with a goal of $30,000.
