A Penn State University cheerleader who plummeted five stories from a window could be permanently brain damaged, her family’s rep told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview.

Paige Raque fell 39 feet from the off-campus apartment where she lives during a party on Saturday night and suffered severe brain injuries and a fractured pelvis.

She remains in critical condition.

The 19-year-old “die-hard Penn Stater” was flown to Altoona Regional Health System and is still in intensive care, according to Yahoo! Sports.

On Tuesday, sophomore Paige, from Louisville, Kentucky, showed a “slight improvement” and opened her eyes for the first time - but was back to being sedated by Wednesday and is resting, said Randy Jepson, head coach of the Penn State men’s gymnastics team and the Raque family’s spokesperson.

Speaking exclusively to Breaking Celebrity News Jepson said that it was too soon for doctors to know if Paige’s head injuries could result in permanent brain damage.
