“There were so many tears shed by all of us. Bryanna is soooooo ecstatic to have her in her arms again,” Niki Dougherty-Ramirez, Bryanna’s mom, wrote in a social media update.
Minnie was last seen by the family and 13-year-old Bryanna at the Chick-fil-A on Horizon Boulevard in Bensalem last Saturday around 6 p.m.
Bryanna’s mom’s Facebook post searching for the doll went viral and was shared by people in across the U.S., Canada, and even the U.K.

The doll has been with Bryanna for nearly her entire life as she has undergone 39 surgeries brain and connective tissue disorder.
Niki Dougherty-Ramirez previously said the doll looks dirty, but is just well-loved by Bryanna. Some of the damage is from a brace that was applied to match the girl’s after she suffered a stroke.

“We have cried ourselves to sleep every night and prayed that Minnie was found. I as a mother went to the depths of the earth to do what any parent would do to make their child stop crying. I went into full panic mode to find her Minnie. I never in my wildest dreams thought it would be shared like it did, but we were so grateful,” Niki Dougherty-Ramirez said.
