Hi all!!!!!!! I am actually typing this one myself. I practiced yesterday for a bit and got so excited when I found out that I can type (never mind that it takes 20 mins. for a few sentences-ha). As my mom said, we are so happy to be home. I started outpatient rehab this morning and it went great. The therapists are really going to be good. The gym has bikes and treadmills so I can get back into the swing of things. We also found great resources for sport activities so that I can lead a pretty normal life.
The challenges that I am going through are ones that I never thought I would be experiencing. However, without the love and support of all my friends and family, this would be the hardest road of all. I have honestly found who my true friends are and even reconnected with some that I never should have let get away. I love you all. Mom, Nick and my family, thanks for all that you do your the wind beneath my wings.
TALK TO U SOON. LUV, JEN.

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.
