Jane Richard, the younger sister of Boston Marathon bombing victim Martin Richard, has been released from Boston Children’s Hospital, the Richard family said this afternoon.
“While we remain devastated over Martin’s death and all that has happened to us, Jane’s determination for getting better is an inspiring source of strength for the entire family,” the family said in a statement.
The 7-year-old girl had spent 39 days in the intensive care unit. She underwent 12 surgeries. The family said the little girl, whose left leg was severed below the knee in the bomb attack, is “in good spirits and looking forward to beginning the next phase of her recovery.”
She has been transferred to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, where she will undergo rehabilitation to “regain her strength, balance and stamina. Jane and her body will ultimately dictate the timeline for her stay at Spaulding,” the family said.
