This required hip surgery, a body cast for three months, braces, and corrective shoes until the age of five. She married at age nineteen and had become a mother of four when tragedy struck again. Another hip surgery put her in a wheelchair while faced with raising three girls under five and a son that was ten years old. More surgeries and a car accident kept her in a wheelchair until 2002, when through the grace of God, she was able to start rehabilitation and counseling for PTSD. Then she went on to seek a degree as a certified medical assistant.
She currently lives in a mountainous area near Glacier Park and works as a certified medical assistant, having overcome the setbacks that had limited her mobility earlier in life. Her strongest belief is that prayers make a difference.view less
