The second bullet struck her.

But on Sunday, she showed off a cartful of loot collected during her hospital stay. She also showed off a poster tribute to her dead uncle -- a somber reminder, that while she survived and her family celebrates that survival, they family is also in mourning.

"Her joy and her spirit is keeping me balanced," said her mother Gloria Strong. "The hard part is not over yet. The hard part is going to this funeral and her seeing her uncle actually laying there."

But, before that, she has just one request -- Chuck E Cheese's.
