Maddie, 8, who Spears shares with ex Casey Aldridge, has been progressing toward a full recovery since February 5, when she was airlifted to the hospital in critical condition after the Polaris off-road vehicle she was driving flipped over into a pond in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana. Maddie was submerged under water for several minutes as her mom and stepfather, Jamie Watson, tried to free her from her seat belt and the ATV’s safety netting. She returned home on February 10.

Maddie has since returned to school and has begun playing sports again. Spears posted a video of her daughter on the basketball court on Tuesday, February 21, which she captioned, “1st Basketball practice today #Godisgood.”
