In a special appearance on Good Morning America Friday, Lauren Scruggs’ parents Jeff and Cheryl said their daughter’s recovery has been nothing short of “remarkable,” and that they’ve been able to keep things together because of their strong faith.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the 23-year-old model/fashion blogger underwent extensive surgery, including having her left eye replaced, after she walked into a live plane propeller December 3 in her native Texas.

Instead of shying away from her injuries,  Lauren Scruggs has bravely showed off her amputated arm for the first time since a small plane propeller cut off her left hand four months ago.

Dressed in a green and black running outfit with a huge smile on her face, the 23-year-old fashion blogger/model was spotted shopping with her parents at a Plano, Texas, sports store this week, where she seemed unfazed by her missing limb and even used it to hang her small white purse from.

The model and fashion blogger who was severely disfigured when she walked into a small plane propeller has reached a settlement with an insurance company after initially rejecting a $200,000 compensation offer.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Lauren Scruggs was suing Aggressive Insurance Services, the insurer of the plane and pilot, Curt Richmond, involved in her horrific December 2011 accident, and had asked a court to define whether she was considered a “passenger’’ under the terms set forth by the insurance company.

Lauren Scruggs is heading to court over her horrific accident and is suing the insurance company of the plane she had been in prior to walking into the still-moving propeller in December.

Lauren lost her left eye and left hand in the accident and suffered “cranial damage,” and the lawsuit describes her as “severely and catastrophically injured.”

After bravely enduring surgeries and physical therapy after losing her left hand and eye in a tragic plane propeller accident, Lauren Scruggs is on the mend, staying positive and getting used to the "new norm," her mother says.

"For the most part, it's been a positive week for Lauren. The sun has been shining! We have had some great talks! There's been lots of laughter, amongst the tears. She is regaining her strength," Lauren's mother, Cheryl Scruggs, wrote on their Caring Bridge website on Tuesday.

Lauren Scruggs has bravely battled every adversity that life has thrown at her since her devastating collision with a small plane propeller, and this week the former model and fashion blogger stepped out with her prosthetic eye on display for all to see.

The 23-year-old was seen leaving the gym in her hometown of Dallas, Texas, wearing what has become her signature blue Cowboys hat and an over-sized jacket pulled down to cover her missing left hand

After being severely disfigured by a small plane propeller, model Lauren Scruggs is proving that she’s well on the road – and the ski slope! - to recovery, and RadarOnline.com has photos of her weekend away with family and friends.

Just two weeks after she was fitted for a prosthetic eye, the fashion blogger snapped shots of herself and pals at a winter sport competition, tweeting, “Watching ski jumping!! Love it.”

The healing continues for Lauren Scruggs.

The 23-year-old model & fashion blogger, who's yanked at the nation's heartstrings the past two months, has had her left eye fitted with a prosthetic eye, after she lost it when she walked into a live plane propeller December 3 in her native Texas. 

"She was fitted and measured,” her mother Cheryl Scruggs wrote Thursday on the Caring Bridge website, where the deeply religious family has updated the public on Lauren's condition since the accident. “The ocularist carefully painted and shaped the new eye."

It’s been two months since she walked into a small plane propeller but life is not getting any easier for model and fashion editor Lauren Scruggs.

“We chalked up this past week as one of the toughest yet,” the 23-year-old’s mom, Cheryl, revealed when she poured her heart out on the family blog on CaringBridge.org.

“You would think that things would be on the upswing, huh? They are in some ways. She is progressing well, physically, but we have now entered into working through the 5 stages of grief.
