Wilkerson Elementary first grade student Ally Rednour, 7, was released from the hospital Sunday, May 17.
Ehman's backpack got caught in a Jefferson County Public School bus door and she was dragged 100 feet before the driver was flagged down by nearby witnesses.

In a Facebook post, Ally's mother Amy said in part: "I just wanted to say thank u for all the support & concerns & prayers but please keep them coming as it is going to be a long road for her & myself!"
Her mother also added her gratitude for the driver who managed to stop the bus. She says her daughter is in great spirits and smiling.
