The propeller accident last December may have taken the left eye and hand of 23-year-old Lauren Scruggs, but the fashion blogger and model proved today on the TODAY show that it took none of her spirit.
Sitting down for an interview with Ann Curry's new replacement Savannah Guthrie, Scruggs said it has been her faith that has pulled her through the hard times and that she has had no pain since January. She wanted to step out into the public eye in the interview because she felt she it was time to let the people who'd followed her story see how she was faring.
Scruggs was a up-and-coming fashion blogger and model before she accidentally walked into a spinning plane propeller last December after a holiday lights tour. She received a prosthetic left eye and left hand and quickly returned to blogging after the accident. Her book, "Still Lolo: A Spinning Propeller, A Horrifying Accident, and A Family's Journey of Hope," will be released in November.
Back in April, Lauren's father Jeff Scruggs told the TODAY show that he prays "she'll know her beauty comes from within. She's got so much enthusiasm for life and a beautiful smile, and that encourages me, and I know it encourages others as well.''
It's apparent from her interview today that her father's prayers have been answered. I think you'll agree.
