She expressed her‌ gratitude for the medical‌ professionals​ providing ⁢excellent care and the support of her ⁤family and⁣ well-wishers. She assured ​everyone that her ⁢condition is not life-threatening, ⁣although recovery‍ may take several weeks. She concluded, “My family and I are deeply grateful for your prayers.”

Currently, ⁣Britt⁣ is ⁢back at home and recovering. She will be receiving outpatient treatment to address the swelling of the facial nerve. Her supporters eagerly await‌ her full recovery⁢ and ⁣return to her duties as ⁤a senator.
