The injuries are not life threatening and doctors are continuing to conduct tests to ensure a full recovery.

Miss Universe owner Raul Rocha visited Henry in the hospital and confirmed she had no broken bones and was receiving proper medical attention.
Dr Phylicia Henry Samuels, speaking from Thailand where she stayed with their mother, told the organization her sister "isn't doing as well as we would have hoped."
