Burns covered both their faces, and the doctors found it a miracle for the pair to have survived that accident. Christian had been told of the doctor’s fears regarding Stephanie’s low chances of survival quite early on. After four and a half months in the hospital, she finally made it out.
“They came in expecting to see me. They didn’t recognize me with all the burns and scars. When I called them over for a hug, they were afraid. It was awful,” she wrote on her blog, recalling the first time her kids came to meet her in the hospital following the incident. “I literally felt my heart breaking. I wanted to die. I couldn’t see all I had to live for.”
The pair has had to adjust their daily routine to accommodate their new reality, but they are now ready to introduce another member to their family soon.
