Jen is starting to really get her colour her humour back. She looks as beautiful as ever. In the coming few days we may hopefully get Jen off the resporator, she is breathing very well on her own. She cant wait to talk and I am sure she will let us know how poorly we have tried to interperate her.
I cant speak highly enough of the doctors and nurses at Medical City Dallas. I have a new appreciation for healthcare professionals, they are truely insperational and magnificent individuals who work tirelessly to save the lives of others. There work with Jen has been unbelievable.
To babe, watching you sleep every night counting your breaths has been both exhausting and scary but I am watching one of the most courages things I will ever see. You are one of a kind babe I love and am inspired by you, you are my angel.
Love Hubby.

Press Coverage
So, What Happened?
Jen fell into septic shock and was teetering between life and death. During the course of four and a half months she hung by a thread with the help of ICU life support, her beloved husband, family, and friends.
She survived a medical miracle and lives today with amputated legs and hands. Many regional Dallas physicians do not have a rational explanation for her survival, but she is here and is going to give it everything she has.
Jen would like to thank everyone, stranger or not, for playing a key role in her recovery.

Dearest Jen Group....
It's just Mother Muffy checking in as I do daily, many times. As you know you are my famiy, Jen, I have the custest pictures of you that I have been trying to upload, hopefully Lisa (the beautiful girl in Drew's life) is going to help me. The sun shined yesterday afternoon after I shoveled snow in the early am getting ready for parade. We had such a busy day, but have good help, so i'm not quite as crazy as usual. But as you all know I am always just one step away from going over the edge. So I toasted you last night over a few margs and said my prayers and engaged some more friends in prayers. Life is good Jen, hang in there so we can experience some more funny, crazy, goofy times. You know we just have to LOL more and more to get thru these bumps, mountains and potholes. I will see you soon. All my love and support to you, my sweet Wanna Be...MF--oh, never realized that was the initials of Mother Muffy....oh well, LOL
Jen, I thank God for making you stronger.. I believe that God sent Nick to you for a reason. What a wonderful,strong and loving man he is. I look forward to getting to know him some day soon. I think about you everyday and night.
Love and Prayers to you and your family. Jill
We have had a beautiful day in Wichita. Nick's good news was the frosting on the cake. I think we can blame Uncle Randy for my next statement. "Life is hard by the yard...Life's a cinch by the inch." We celebrate the inches, Jennifer. Patty
Yea Jen!!!! I'm so glad you're getting better. I met your family last week - wow! I always told you that you had the coolest family . . . now I want to be adopted ;)
Keep getting better - can't wait to be able to talk to you.
