Christa Pike is conscious and speaking in the hospital after surviving Tennessee's attempt to execute her last week, her lawyers said Tuesday.
"Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care. Despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her recovery is medically unprecedented. Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery," her legal team wrote in a statement released to the media.
Pike had been unconscious and in critical condition in the days after two doses of pentobarbital failed to end her life on Wednesday, Sept. 30, according to her attorneys.
Dr. Joel Zivot, a medical expert who has consulted with Pike's legal team, told the **** ociated Press that the latest update "bodes well for a good recovery," but said that the full picture of her long-term health won't be clear for some time.
"She has recovered to a certain degree that she's able to be off a ventilator and able to speak, but in no way would I announce her free of further serious risk," he said. "There's still a lot of bad things that can happen here."

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles is "cancer free," she announced on X on Sept. 16, 2026. "Some personal news I'm grateful to share. After a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic this week, my pathology results came back clear," she explained.
Wiles was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in March and told the New York Times that her prognosis was "strong." Wiles did not disclose at the time what treatment she would undergo, but said it would last several weeks — during which time she planned to continue working. Noting that one in eight American women develops breast cancer at some point in their lives, Wiles posted on X at the time: "Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks."
A breast cancer diagnosis is life-altering, but Wiles's comments highlighted the progress that's been made in recent years. Breast cancer is now detected at Stage 0 or 1 — before it has spread — in the majority of cases. Survival rates have risen dramatically, but "the treatments we use to treat early-stage breast cancer have become more tailored" and less disruptive to women's lives, Dr. Lynn Dengel, a University of Virginia surgical oncologist, told Yahoo in March.
"Because [Wiles] was taking care of her health [and getting screened], not only will her prognosis be better, but it will probably minimize what treatment she has to go through and will benefit her work-life and overall balance," Dengel said. She added that most of her patients are diagnosed early and can continue to work while undergoing breast cancer treatment, reducing the financial burden and overall disruption to their lives.
Wiles was diagnosed at age 68 — slightly older than the median age (62) when most women learn they have breast cancer. More than 380,000 American women are diagnosed with some form of breast cancer each year, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS).
Breast cancer remains the most common form of cancer among women in the U.S., except for skin cancers. And rates are rising. But there's good news: More women are surviving the disease. Treatments have also improved, becoming tolerable enough that many women still work, as Wiles intends to do. Here's what to know about the disease, why rates are rising and how women can reduce their risks.

Borussia Dortmund will be without Konstantinos Karetsas for Saturday's Bundesliga home fixture against SC Paderborn as further examinations continue following the 18-year-old's worrying withdrawal from Tuesday's Champions League victory over Villarreal. Karetsas has since been released from hospital after suffering circulatory problems during Dortmund's 3-2 win at the Westfalenstadion.
The Greek international did not participate in team training on Thursday and will not be available for the weekend. Dortmund sporting director Ole Book has now confirmed that initial examinations have yet to establish a specific cause.
"He is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances," Book told the local Ruhr Nachrichten newspaper. "Further examinations are ongoing. We want to get to the bottom of this properly. The prognosis will then depend on that."
Book emphasized that Karetsas' health remains the club's overriding concern.
While Karetsas' mother Irena Kitsinis told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad that the episode appeared to have been related to dehydration, Dortmund have not yet established a definitive explanation for the problem.

Pamela Anderson says a doctor told her she probably had only 10 years to live after she was diagnosed with hepatitis C, leaving her terrified about what would happen to her two young sons.
Anderson revisited the diagnosis while accepting amfAR's Award of Courage at the organization's Sept. 6 gala in Venice. She described hepatitis C as a "death sentence" at the time because the treatments then available had not given her the certainty that later antiviral drugs would provide.
She ultimately completed a 12-week antiviral treatment and announced in 2015 that she was free of the virus. During her Venice speech, however, Anderson said the years surrounding the diagnosis affected her decisions and left behind feelings of shame and guilt that did not disappear with the medical result.
The 59-year-old actress ended her remarks by rejecting the victim label attached to difficult periods in her life. "I'm not a victim, I'm a victor," she told the audience. "I'm not the damsel in distress, no matter how easy that role is to play."
Anderson publicly disclosed in 2002 that she had hepatitis C. Looking back on that period at the amfAR Gala Venezia, she said the prognosis she received was stark.

You can go into focus groups of 10,000 guys who have exactly what you have. I won't touch it with a 10-foot pole."

A 4-year-old filly died earlier this week after competing in a stakes race at Saratoga Race Course, after the horse was found to have suffered a fracture that left her unable to put her full weight on her left hind leg.
According to the state Gaming Commission's Equine Death and Breakdown Database, Marvelous Madison, who was trained by Jorge Abreu, was returned to her barn after finishing fifth in the Yaddo Stakes over Saratoga's Mellon turf course on Aug. 30. In the barn, Marvelous Madison became "toe touching lame in the left hind leg," meaning the filly was hesitant to put her full weight on the affected leg.
According to the Gaming Commission database, further evaluation of Marvelous Madison "revealed a displaced fracture." Because of the "poor prognosis," the database states, Marvelous Madison was euthanized.
The 4-year-old Marvelous Madison ran seven times in her career, with four of those races - including both of her career victories - coming at Saratoga. Earlier this summer at Saratoga, she won an allowance race on July 26 in her first race since August 2025.
On the state database, Marvelous Madison's injury and death were listed as "other" in the description of the incident, rather than being specifically racing- or training-related.

O.J. Brigance valiantly endured amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, for 19 years. On Monday, the Baltimore Ravens announced Brigance's death. He was 56 years old.
"We are devastated by the awful news that we have lost O.J. Brigance," Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said in a statement, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "O.J. was a beloved legend, mentor, and man to everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. His infectious smile and the inspirational way he lived and played endeared him to everyone he touched, both inside our building and across this city. This is a tremendously sad day for Baltimore."
Brigance won the Grey Cup with the Baltimore Stallions in 1995 before beginning his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins in 1996. The linebacker only spent the 2000 season with the Ravens, but he made it count, winning Super Bowl ***** V.
Brigance finished his playing career with the then-St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots before retiring after the 2002 season. Upon retirement, Brigance joined the Ravens' front office. Even as a Super Bowl champion, his lasting impact on the Ravens came in the years he served in his player engagement role.
Brigance received his devastating ALS diagnosis in 2007. In 2013, having already outlived his prognosis, CBS Sunday Mornings featured Brigance and his life with ALS.

The Cincinnati Reds expect to learn more sometime Wednesday about the long-term prognosis of All-Star pitcher Hunter Greene after he undergoes surgery for his badly damaged elbow – specifically whether the extent of the surgery could sideline him all of next season.
Greene, who began experiencing soreness after his fifth start since returning from his first injured-list stretch this season, was to have the surgery in Los Angeles the morning of Aug. 12 with Dr. Neal ElAttrache performing the operation.
Reds schedule Chicago White Sox Forget September. The Reds are already being pushed by their August schedule
If the damage is severe enough to require Tommy John reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament that is all but certain to mean Greene's return to the rotation would be pushed to at least early 2028. It would be the second Tommy John surgery of his professional career (also in the minors).
A less severe outcome could mean an internal brace procedure for the UCL that typically requires less rehab time but still would mean missing most of next season.

CHICAGO — Chicago Bears safety Coby Bryant had surgery on his injured left knee Friday and will miss four to six months, coach Ben Johnson announced Tuesday.
Initial reports indicated Bryant would avoid surgery and be out eight to 10 weeks, but Johnson had not given an official timeline before Tuesday. The prognosis is worse than initially reported.
Bryant injured his knee during practice Aug. 3. Johnson's timeline would indicate that the earliest Bryant might return is December. It's possible he could miss the entire season.
That's a big blow for Johnson's defense.
"Coby is the template for how we all want our team to play," Johnson said. "He was a big part of — offense, defense and special teams — the mentality, the mindset, the approach. We loved everything about it. It certainly takes us back a little bit, but it also provides opportunities for other guys to fill that void."

Safety Coby Bryant, whom the Chicago Bears signed in free agency to a three-year deal reportedly worth $40 million, is now expected to miss four to six months after undergoing surgery for a knee injury that initially was reported to sideline him for eight to 10 weeks.
Second-year Bears head coach Ben Johnson provided the updated prognosis on Tuesday, telling reporters that Bryant's procedure took place this past Friday, per ESPN's Courtney Cronin.
It's possible the Bears could get Bryant back in time for the end of the season; however, his extended absence is a hearty blow to defensive coordinator Dennis Allen's unit.

Real Housewives of Orange County alum Jeana Keough is nearing the end of her tongue cancer treatment, but she's making clear the fight is far from over.
According to a report Page Six published Thursday, July 30, Keough, 70, discussed her prognosis via email, writing, "It's upsetting to know that even after all this treatment, I still only have a 40 to 60 percent cure rate within the next five years. We're just praying that I'm on the good side of that coin flip."
She continued, "I can see the finish line now, but I'm hearing it's a long climb to recovery and that I'll likely have the feeding tube for two to six months."

Keough also revealed that her diagnosis was delayed after what she described as a misdiagnosis by her longtime dentist. She stated that she initially sought treatment for a sore on her tongue, but her dentist believed one of her teeth was rubbing against it and repeatedly filed the tooth down over several visits rather than referring her to a specialist or recommending a biopsy.

Real Madrid have been handed an early fitness concern ahead of the new season after Thibaut Courtois suffered a muscle injury while representing Belgium at the World Cup.
The goalkeeper left the quarter-final against Spain in tears, immediately raising fears over his availability for the start of the campaign.
As quoted by Defensa Central, sports physiotherapist and injury specialist Angel Villanueva believes Courtois may be sidelined for between four and eight weeks.
However, the full extent of the medical problem has not been confirmed yet, with the player still to undergo official medical tests.
Villanueva described the injury as a "muscular problem in the left rectus femoris", adding that "the approximate prognosis points to an absence of between four and eight weeks."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate's top two Republicans have spoken individually to Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, according to aides, as the former GOP leader remains in the hospital more than three weeks after being admitted for undisclosed health issues.
Aides to McConnell have declined to release any information about his condition, fueling speculation about his prognosis and whether he will be healthy enough to be at the Capitol when the Senate returns to Washington next week after a two-week recess. McConnell, 84, is retiring at the end of his term in January.
A spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he had spoken with McConnell by phone on Monday and that the two had a "lengthy and substantive conversation that covered a variety of topics, including national security." As leader, Thune is generally kept up to date on illnesses and absences in his conference as he has to navigate vote counts and his narrow 53-47 majority.
Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the No. 2 Senate Republican, had a 20-minute conversation with McConnell on Tuesday, according to a spokeswoman. The two discussed Senate races ahead of the midterm elections, the Supreme Court and other topics, the statement said.
"Senator McConnell was fully engaged and is eager to get back to the Senate," said Barrasso spokeswoman Kate Noyes.
Aides to McConnell have declined to release any information about his condition, fueling speculation about his prognosis and whether he will be healthy enough to be at the Capitol when the Senate returns to Washington next week after a two-week recess. McConnell, 84, is retiring at the end of his term in January.

Ninety-one days stand between us and Longhorns football. It’s another prediction Saturday and today’s prognosis might make some Texas fans unhappy. I believe KJ Lacey will be thrust into at least one major moment throughout the 2026 season. The backup signal caller enters another year on the bench but I’d argue it’s a given he’ll have to step up in a big moment this season.
The last three seasons of Texas football have had many similarities. Backup QBs being asked to keep CFP hopes alive has been one of them. In 2023, Maalik Murphy started two games while Quinn Ewers was hurt, getting two big wins. In 2024, it was Arch Manning getting two starts as Ewers rehabbed, again going undefeated. Last season, Matthew Caldwell never made a start, but that OT touchdown vs. Mississippi State kept the Longhorns CFP hopes alive. It’s KJ Lacey’s turn to fill those shoes.
Now, obviously it’d be ideal for Manning to have no issues, play every game and roll through the season healthy. However, given his ability to run the ball, physical running style and minor OL questions, it’s hard to feel confident an injury won’t pop up. If one does, you just hope it’s one that keeps him sidelined for a play or half, not a game or two. No matter the amount of time, KJ Lacey will have to be ready to come in and deliver.
There is no question that if Texas is going to win a National Championship, Arch Manning likely needs to be under center. However, to get to that point, it’s a near certainty he’ll need help from his backup. It’s happened every year Texas has been in the CFP or even in contention, I imagine that is not changing this season.
The good news is Lacey should be ready when his number is called. He’s been sitting behind Arch Manning for nearly two years now, learning the system and continuing to grow. He’s earned glowing reviews for Steve Sarkisian and seemingly brings that “point guard” ability that is an ****** et in the Sarkisain offense. There is no doubt Lacey’s number will be called in a moment Texas will need him to deliver. Whether or not he does could very well decide the Longhorns CFP fate on Selection Sunday.
