HADDON HEIGHTS, N.J. (CBS) – Thursday Eyewitness News sat down with the family of Raquel Nunn.

She's the 26-year-old who was severely injured in a February house explosion in Haddon Heights, New Jersey (see related story).

She is doing better than expected, even though she remains in the burn unit at Crozer-Chester Medical Center.

This week, her family says Raquel started to eat and drink on her own. She's even able to walk a little bit.

Dine and Donate March 29th at P.J. Whelihan's Pub, 396 S. Lenola Rd. Maple Shade, NJ.
