On October 1, 2017, tragedy struck at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. A gunman unleashed terror on the unsuspecting crowd, changing the lives of thousands in an instant. Among those caught in the horrific attack were 30-year-old Jovanna Calzadillas and her husband, Francisco ‘Frank’ Calzadillas. As gunfire erupted, Jovanna was shot in the head, collapsing as her life teetered on the brink.
She was rushed to the hospital, but the prognosis was bleak. Doctors warned that her chances of survival were slim. While Jovanna fought for her life, Frank was forced to confront an unimaginable reality—whether to “pull the cord” and let her go. The weight of this decision was overwhelming, leaving him shattered in the face of such a cruel, heartbreaking situation.
But then, one night, everything changed. Frank had a vivid dream where Jovanna approached him, whispering, “Everything will be fine.” And with that, Frank made a resolve. He would not give up on his wife. He would keep her on the respirator, against all odds.
Miraculously, Jovanna awoke. Even the doctors were astonished by this unexpected turn of events. “Her shot injury was difficult, but we prayed and hoped and then she woke up,” said Frank, a policeman with the Salt River Police Department in Arizona.
Jovanna’s journey to reclaim her life after the Las Vegas tragedy was an uphill battle. Progress was arduous and frustrating, but her determination to better herself and her family never wavered. Despite confronting her past demons, she continues to communicate her thoughts honestly and work towards resuming a regular life.
