The young boy has since been hospitalized while recovering from fractures in his pelvic bone, two bruised lungs, a skull fracture, a blood clot in his brain, and a brain bleed, the news station reported. He was also recently diagnosed with COVID-19.
“Although it is scary with him still having the blood clot they said they will still monitor him closely with frequent follow ups & imaging so that give me a little comfort,” she wrote in a post on Thursday.
“We are so blessed,” she added. “God is Good all the time #BodieStrong #bodietough.”
The family also posted avideoof Bodie walking slowly inside his hospital room — a sign of the progress he has made so far.

“He has amazed me so much,” Samantha told KBTX. “His spirit has been so positive this whole time. Even in his worse pain, he’s just been amazing.”
She continued: “This is a miracle, and there’s only one explanation as to why he’s still here and I truly believe that that’s God.”
The bulldozer that ran over Bodie weighed as much as 18,000 pounds, per theMiami Herald. Bodie’s family has since started aGoFundMecampaign to help raise money for medical expenses.
The campaign has raised nearly $50,000 as of Thursday afternoon.
