According to TMZ, \u201cEmily is still learning to walk again and needs help being fed,\u201d but she is finally able to sleep without being monitored.<\/p>\n
Her family reports that she is able to watch and understand her favorite movies and TV shows, and her mother estimates that Emily is able to comprehend \u201cabout 80 percent\u201d of what is happening around her.<\/p>\n
After undergoing 10 surgeries, Emily is currently living in Mexico, where she works with a team of \u201ctop-tier therapists.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nEmily\u2019s mother says the family is hoping to travel to Spain, so that she can undergo a new procedure that\u2019s designed to \u201cstimulate the systems that control speech, communication, and movement.\u201d<\/p>\n
And while the family was just awarded a massive settlement, $3 million is really just a drop in the bucket, considering the fact that Emily will likely require lifelong care.<\/p>\n
The settlement reflects a new trend \u2014 one that we previously saw following Matthew Perry\u2019s death<\/a> \u2014 in which parties responsible for an addict\u2019s recovery are being held civilly and criminally liable for failing to live up to provide adequate care.<\/p>\nPrior to her two-month coma, Willis was one of the biggest stars in the world of adult film. In 2023, she transitioned to mainstream film with a role in the sci-fi film Divinity<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe wish Emily and her family all the best as they continue on their long road to recovery.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
