Former Mt. Hebron basketball player Alisha Mosley was taken off a ventilator Jan. 21, her mother, Vicky, said, and is breathing on her own for the first time since Dec. 1 when she was admitted to the intensive care unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital and put into an induced coma.

“She’s been breathing on her own since 10 this morning,” Vicky said Monday night. “I’m so excited.”

And there was more good news. Vicky said that her 31-year-old daughter was given a small voice box attachment that helps her talk. Since she came out of the coma Jan. 12, day 43 of her ordeal, Mosley, who underwent a tracheotomy at Johns Hopkins, has communicated by moving her lips.
