Indiana woman loses legs saving kids from tornado

INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana woman who saved her two children by binding them together with a blanket and shielding them with her body as a tornado ripped apart their house lost parts of both her legs, which were crushed by the falling debris, her husband says.

Stephanie Decker, a 36-year-old sleep specialist, lost one leg above the knee and the other above the ankle, her husband said Monday. She was in serious but stable condition at a Kentucky hospital. The couple's 8-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter survived Friday's storm unscathed.

While I respect her for saving her kids, any self respecting mother or parent would do the same. That doesn't make her a hero, IMO.

Weird, she lost her leg ABOVE her knee, does this mean she has her calf on one side and her foot on the other, kidding, she is a hero

Your kidding right? What makes someone a hero? Please define. If she did it to some random kids she saw on the street?

Arlington is full of them. Making sacrifice for your children is your job, as a parent. Making sacrifice for a stranger, or people you never meet, that makes one a hero.
