The Bachmans were in China for the Olympics when they were attacked at a tourist attraction August 9th, apparently at random. The attacker killed himself.
Their daughter Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman is a former U.S. Olympic volleyball player and their son-in-law, Hugh McCutcheon, coaches the U.S. men's volleyball team.
Daughters Elisabeth, Sara and Susan say in their statement that their mother is making incredible progress, and doctors are calling her a "miracle."
