3-Year-Old Walks Again After Road Rage Incident

3-year-old Preslie Jenkins is walking again after she was the victim of a road rage incident in Florida. Preslie was riding in the car with her mother, Nikki Jenkins, when a shot was fired into their vehicle and hit the toddler in the head.


The bullet went above her eyebrow and came out through her skull. The injured Preslie was rushed to Palm Beach Children’s Hospital, in Florida, where she had to endure a 6-hour surgery followed by a medically induced coma. Dr. Lauran Schwartz, Preslie’s physician, wasn’t sure if the little girl would survive.

“When Preslie came into the hospital, she was severely ill, really on death’s door.”

But against all odds, this little fighter proved everyone wrong. Preslie made an unexpected and speedy recovery and she’s well on her way to full rehabilitation. After only a few weeks, this sweet toddler is already walking and talking. She even had a special message for all of her supporters who sent her well wishes and presents.

‘Thank you for the prayers,’ Preslie said in a video message from her hospital bed. There has still been no arrests or suspects in the case, but the family remains hopeful that the perpetrator will be brought to justice. We are definitely continuing to keep little Preslie and her family in our thoughts and prayers during this time. While the road to recovery may not be over, we all have faith that this brave fighter will be running around, laughing and playing, in no time.
