Christa Pike is conscious and speaking nearly a week after a botched execution<\/a> left her critically injured and temporarily on a ventilator, her attorneys said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“Her recovery is\u00a0medically unprecedented. Her\u00a0prognosis\u00a0remains\u00a0unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery,” her attorneys — Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason from the Tennessee Office of the Post Conviction Defender and Stephen Ferrell and Luke Ihnen from Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee — said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Pike, 50, continues to receive medical care after she survived being administered two lethal doses of pentobarbital and was hospitalized following the failed Sept. 30 execution in Nashville, her attorneys said. She has “severe damage” to her arms and remains handcuffed to her bed, her attorneys said.<\/p>\n

“We are incredibly grateful to the first responders and the medical team at the hospital who\u00a0treated\u00a0Christa like a\u00a0human\u00a0and\u00a0have provided exceptional care to her,” her attorneys said. “We also want to thank\u00a0thousands\u00a0from all over the world who sent messages offering prayers and support for Christa.”<\/p>\n
