There are still further surgeries needed to repair her skin, but she is breathing on her own and has no broken bones.
Samiah was trick-or-treating with two friends, one of whom was Cheyenne.
"Hindsight is 20/20," said Cheyenne. "My mom gave them rain ponchos to put on. They were reflective orange and yellow. They didn't want to cover up their costumes."
The girls were dressed in all black and were on their way home when the accident happened. Samiah tried to cross Ellsworth Road and was hit by the first driver.
The 33-year-old driver stopped but couldn't find Todya. She had been pushed into the eastbound lanes and dragged by another vehicle nearly two miles.
The second driver never stopped.
"Like her mom said, they're all fixable," Cheyenne said. "She had no broken bones, no brain damage. Still has some internal injuries, but the doc said those are going to heal on their own. She's not going to need as much skin grafting as originally thought. She has a lot of road burns where she was dragged. We're just thanking God."
