"With her father, mother and stepfather by her side, Maddie regained consciousness mid-day Tuesday, February 7," the family said in a statement.

"The 8-year-old daughter of entertainer Jamie Lynn Spears was involved in an ATV accident at a family home Sunday near Kentwood, La."

Paramedics resuscitated her and she was airlifted to a local hospital. "She is aware of her surroundings and recognizes those family members who have kept a round-the-clock vigil since the accident," according to the report.
