Davidson was walking with her mother in Whispering Palms, a gated community, when she was struck by lightning. Davidson’s fellow churchgoer Carol Bridges told CBS 46 that her condition is improving: “They have lowered the amount of oxygen that she is getting and they have lowered the sedation,” she said.
Davidson is married to husband Matt Davidson and has two other children.
“Matt wants everybody to just keep praying,” Matt’s business partner James McCoy said.
