Full Family Letter:
Dear all of you,
Here’s a little update from us who are closest to Mia.
First of all, we want to thank you for the enormous care, support, and love that has been sent to Mia and us after the accident during the first World Cup race in WorldWCR where Mia suffered a head injury. It’s very warm and comforting. We are overwhelmed by how big a sport road racing is in large parts of the world, and how many thousands feel and follow Mia in this tough situation.
Mia is still at Maurizio Bufalini Hospital here in Italy and is under expert treatment by the trauma team at the hospital. She has her loved ones around her and that is a strength for her and us as a family. Mia is still in a coma, but the doctors here report that, fortunately, she is out of danger and she is stable with good vitalia. They are working on a plan to get her home to a hospital in Norway as soon as she is stable enough to be able to fly home. Regarding the extent of her injury, it’s too early to say anything concrete about it, but we hope her good physique and intense stubbornness will pull her through this as well.
Sincerely Mia’s mom and dad, big sister, and boyfriend ❤️
Family’s Gratitude and Hope
The family expressed their immense gratitude for the global outpouring of support, highlighting how much it means to them during this challenging time. Mia is receiving expert care in Italy, and while still in a coma, her condition is stable. Plans are being made to transfer her to Norway when she is stable enough to travel. Her family remains hopeful, drawing strength from Mia’s resilience and the global community’s support.
For more updates, the family will continue to share Mia’s progress and appreciates the ongoing support and prayers from everyone.
