Brave mom

This article is about a mom who laid herself over her kids during the tornadoes in Indiana. She tried her best to shield the children from the tornado. Her legs were crushed in the process. Her son then crawled out of the debris, and went to find help. The lady used the blanket they had covered themselves with as a tourniquet to prevent herself from bleeding out. She lost both legs, one just above the knee, the other just below the knee.

This woman is so incredibly brave and selfless. She thought of her children first and did what she could to protect them, causing herself pain. I am in awe of this incredible woman, and of her son for getting help as fast as possible. This story actually brought tears to my eyes. Any mom would try to protect their babies, but she went the extra distance and ended up losing both legs. I feel bad she lost her legs, but am so glad that she and her children made it out ok. Kudos to her.
