She has significant intellectual disabilities as a result of seizures very early her childhood. She does not speak but has some ability to move her limbs, head and neck."Their daughter responds to sound and is able to make facial gestures. The important thing is that she is a beloved daughter, albeit with significant intellectual disabilities. She has feelings, likes to be read to, enjoys soft music and is capable of responding to people she is familiar with, especially family."It's unclear how the description of the woman's condition, and how she ended up impaired, was misreported for weeks. INSIDER first reached out to Micheaels on January 9, but didn't receive a response.The sexual assault investigation into her pregnancy continues. Earlier this month, Phoenix Police were granted warrants to take DNA samples from the male staff at the facility in an attempt to identify the baby's father.Meanwhile, the state has ordered the facility to hire an outside manager to run the facility.Read more about Hacienda Healthcare:The woman who gave birth in a vegetative state has given a face to an issue that happens with disturbing frequencyFormer caregiver of the nursing home patient who gave birth while in a vegetative state says she never could have given consent, and an ex-manager claims the company covered up another sexually inappropriate incidentThe Arizona nursing facility where a woman gave birth in a vegetative state after presumably being raped had previously been cited for another complaint of inappropriate behaviorAt the Arizona nursing home where a woman gave birth in a vegetative state, an employee was fired in 2013 for making 'inappropriate, sexual' comments to patientsJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un is 35 ' here's how he became one of the world's scariest dictators
