The crash, which happened near Cass City, saw Megan’s son, Noah, and her 11-year-old niece, Gia, hospitalized.
On Sunday, family members gave an update on their condition.
Noah was still in a sedated condition but responding to movements, family members posted on Instagram.
Gia has undergone a craniotomy and her family revealed her brain pressure has reduced “significantly.”
“This is a powerful reminder that God’s hand is on her, guiding her healing every step of the way,” they said.
The family revealed they are continuing to hold onto their faith and said God has a “purpose.”
“Even in the hardest moments, He is present, working in ways we may not yet understand,” they said.
Noah and Gia were among five people rushed to the hospital in a critical condition.
Megan’s husband, Blake, and their other kids Lulu, 13, and Alena, 11, were hospitalized.
A semi-truck smashed into a jeep carrying the eight members of the Putman clan.
The collision happened when the semi-truck driver didn’t stop at a stop sign.
“We are asking for complete healing and strength for each of them,” the family said.
Just days before the accident, Neenee paid tribute to her husband as she wished him a happy birthday.
“Happy birthday to my incredible husband!” she wrote on social media.

“Bill, welcome to our Medicare years!”
Barb, known as Neenee, gushed over Bill, describing him as a blessing and inspiration.
“You love us unconditionally and have always been consistent with that even through our faults,” she said.
As a husband, you love me like Christ loves the church and I never take that for granted.
“As a dad and papa you are such a gift to our family. You are our safe place, our inspiration and our encourager.”
Barb continued to shower Bill with praise, describing him as an awesome dad and inspirational papa.
Meet the Putmans aired for one season on TLC in 2017.
Bill and Barb had three sons and one daughter, Blake, Billy, Brandon and Blair.
All of their children’s spouses lived under the same roof, as did Bill and Barb’s 16 grandchildren.
In 2017, Blake spoke about what it was like for the family to live together.
“Think of the four couples that you are best friends with and enjoy spending a lot of time with,” he told The Huron Daily Tribune.
The series rebooted in 2021, airing on YouTube.
