The two-year-old girl who suffered a skull fracture in May after being struck by a foul ball hit by Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora at Houston's Minute Maid Park suffered permanent brain damage, according to an attorney representing her family.

"She has an injury to a part of the brain, and it is permanent," attorney Richard Mithoff said, per David Barron of the Houston Chronicle."She remains subject to seizures and is on medication and will be, perhaps, for the rest of her life. That may or may not be resolved.
