They do say she is "continuing" to recover. Imo, that means she still has a way to go to be fully healed.
I don't think it was because of the media. The troopers let the media know they were going to be celebrating her birthday party. If they had wanted no one to know then they wouldn't have released that info I don't think.
imo
