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.

Jen - As I blew out my birthday candle tonight, I wished for your quick return to being healthy and free of all the wires and machines. We will be praying for you tomorrow. Steph and Scott
Jen we are all behind you. I can't wait to see you this weekend...I know this is all overwhelming, but this is a team effort and the fam and I are putting 150% to get you back to health. I love you and I will see you this weekend. <3
Jen - You can do this, girl! I know you're tired, but I also know you are very strong. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your doctors tomorrow. Keep fighting, sweetie! Peace, my friend...Diane
Hey there folks, Mark Walker from Salida Colorado-your old next door neighbor. Just a note to let you know we heard about Jenny and our thoughts are with you guys. All those positive thoughts will make a difference.
See ya,
Mark and Amber
Morning Jen.......There are not enough words to tell you how much love and energy is coming your way today. I believe God is holding you in his arms and with his help we will all get through this today and whatever challenges you face after that.
I love you

Jen, Nick, Marilyn, Randy, Martha, Matthew and Ryan,
I went to bed last night with all of you on my mind and in my heart and you were there when I woke up this morning.
I wish there was something I could do or say that would make this day easier for all of you.
Jen is in such good hands, with nurses like Alex K caring for her and doctors who are doing their best to get Jen healthy again.
I think of the song "Iam woman, hear me roar". That is going to be Jen's motto.
God speed!
Love to all of you,
Ann Coughlin
There is nothing anyone can say to this precious family to make this day easier. Know in your hearts how loved you are and how many people are praying for you. The simple hope is that a united prayer effort will help to ease the path ahead.
Jen- I just wanted to let you know that all your friends from the Pizza Hut legal department have been thinking about you ever since we found out what was going on. Your in our thoughts and prayers daily. I still remember 8 years ago when I first started with Pizza Hut our old friend Becky Miller told me on my very first day she couldn't wait for me to meet this really sweet girl that was about my age named Jen because she knew we would hit it off and she was right!! You were always such a joy to work with and so much fun to hang out with (remeber Bon Jovi!!) We miss you and think about you often!
Love,
Traci Adams
Jen - You are in my constant thought and prayers, and as you know, the power of prayer is truly amazing. You have tremendous strength and courage. Remember, God has you in His arms and is protecting you through these hard times. Your family is so wonderful and I continue to praise Nick for his amazingly positive attitude and strength. We are all with you and are praying for you today. Stay strong and keep fighting the fight, Jen, you are such a powerful inspiration to all!! Love, Whitney
Jennifer and family---Praying for you today also the Drs. and nurses that will be caring for you.May the Lord surround you with his everlasting love and give you strength. We are with you today in our hearts--We love you--Tom and Kathy
Jen, my heart is with you and your family today. I will be praying for all of you and for a lot of strength. I love you all.

Jen and Family,
Rich and I are continuously thinking of you and sending you loving and positive thoughts. Even the kids always have you on their minds as evidenced by Victoria's sweet voice this morning (in her prayer) asking that you be taken "extra special care of today". Jorge and Aubrey ask about you every single day and love to come to the hospital even though they are too young to come back and see you.
This has been a life altering experience for us, causing us to refocus our energy on the truly important things in our life, particularly our relationships with our loved ones.
As always we are here loving and missing you. Jenn and Rich
Keep fightin' Chane!
-Tony B
Jen - I am praying for you and your wonderful family today. May God bless you and keep you safe. We all love you so much!
LOVE, Shannon
HI Jen, How can I tell you how very special you are to our family. I thank God every day for the many years of friendship our families have enjoyed. You are teaching all of us what courage, determination and goodness is all about. Soak up the love around you. I takes a village and we're all in this with you. Love you and Nick Judy
Jen - You have been and will continue to be in my prayers all day today - you and your entire family. Your strength and how far you've come is so inspirational. We're all thinking of you. We love you.
Kirsten
Jen - I want you to know that all my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family right now! Nick and I want to get down to Dallas soon to see you and your Nick! Keep fighting and stay strong!
Love - Paige
This has been a difficult day for everyone, I am sure. I have been pumping positive energy towards Medical City all day as have all your wonderful friends and family. Stay strong and know that you have "people"
We love you Jen, Trina
This is your old neighbor Jennifer Walker (Ferguson). I just can't imagine what you and your family have been through the last few weeks. Last time I saw you was the night before I got married--we were both in the bathroom at Heroe's. Seems like a lifetime ago now! I hope you heal quickly. Just know that there are people from your past who are thinking about you and hoping that you get home soon!
Jen, You are one well loved young lady! With all of the support from God, your husband, your family and your friends, you can only go forward with your recovery.
Marilyn and Randy, please let us know if we can do anything for you at your Wichita home while you are with Jen in Texas. Margaret and Phil Walker
