The woman who lost her legs, while saving her kids, is out of the hospital.

Stephanie Decker is from Frankfort, but she lives now in Henryville, Indiana. She saved her eight-year-old son and five-year-old daughter, by lying on top of them, when the tornado hit March second.

Doctors say she could have prosthetic legs in three months but she hopes to get them sooner.

"I'm gonna push that a little harder and see if we can't get prosthetics a little sooner just because i'm ready to get up and walk again," she told reporters outside the hospital.

The Deckers' home was destroyed. They own a second one and Stephanie will live there. Friends remodeled it to make it wheelchair accessible.
