Jamie Lynn Spears' boyfriend has taken his first steps after suffering head injuries in a car accident. Casey Aldridge - the father of Jamie's 10-month-old daughter Maddie - has been released from intensive care and is walking again, just days after he crashed his vehicle on Sunday.
A source said: "He came out of ICU (intensive care unit) and was walking around twice on Tuesday. He was a little wobbly because that's the first time he's been up since the wreck."
Doctors at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson hope to discharge him from the hospital over the next few days.
Meanwhile, friends of Jamie Lynn's say they are pleased with how the "Zoey 101" actress - the sister of pop star Britney Spears - has been coping.
One friend said: "I've been very proud of her. I'm really impressed."
Casey has been charged for careless operation of a motor vehicle after he crashed his 2008 Ford F-250 following his cousin's bachelor party.
He drove four friends to Lake Bruin in Tensas Parish, Louisiana, in the early hours of the morning after they decided to go crabbing.
Three of the passengers - including 20-year-old Casey - were thrown from the vehicle after he reportedly lost control of the car. The car turned over several times and it has been claimed only one of the passengers was wearing a seatbelt.
Casey was rushed to hospital with a fractured skull and was accompanied by Jamie Lynn in the ambulance.
