GREEN BAY, Wis. - For one area teen, all she wanted for Christmas was to be home. Christmas day, that wish came true.

19 year-old Elizabeth Moore was paralyzed in a car accident in November. She has been in the hospital ever since. Her doctors said she could go home for the holidays as long as a ramp was built on the house. More than a dozen of Moore's family members got together, and built that ramp. On Christmas she and her family members gathered at her Grandma's house to celebrate.

"It feels really good. I'm excited. I don't really want to go back but I don't have a choice," said Moore.

"Thank God. I'm so glad she's here," said her grandmother Gerry Moore through tears.

Elizabeth has to return to the hospital by midnight tonight. Doctors hope her halo will be taken off in a week. Elizabeth's mother said her daughter is starting to regain some feeling in her legs.
