As the crowd broke out in panic. Jovanna was shot in his head and fell to the ground.\n

Jovanna was taken to the nearest hospital, but\u00a0\u00a0doctors\u00a0had little hope for her chances of survival.\n

Having taken a shot to the head, she naturally required emergency treatment.\n

Jovanna\u2019s husband, Francisco \u2018Frank\u2019 Calzadillas, who was with her when the shooting took place, was told he should consider taking her off life support.\n

He couldn\u2019t possibly imagine his life without his wife and was very hesitant about the doctors\u2019 words, although he was aware the chances of his wife ever recovering were beyond slim.\n

But one night everything changed. He had a vivid dream \u2014 in it, his wife approached him, whispering that \u201ceverything will be fine\u201d.\n

When Frank woke up, his decision was made: He refused to shut down Jovana\u2019s respirator. He would never give up hope for his wife.\n

Miraculously, Jovanna woke up against all odds. Even the doctors were stunned at the sudden occurance.\n

\u201cHer shot injury was difficult, but we prayed and hoped and then she woke up,\u201d said Frank, a policeman with the Salt River Police Department in Arizona.Of course, her recovery took a lot of time and a lot of strength, but she knew she needed to fight hard not only for her but for her husband and children too.\n

The memories of the massacre hunt her until this very day, but she tries to put that experience behind.\n

Today, Jovanna speaks of her feeling openly and does all in her power to lead a normal life.\n

\u201cSome of me disappeared that night on October 1,\u201d she says. \u201cEven though I will not be the same old Jovanna, I will come back stronger.\u201d\n

\u201cI will fight for them,\u201d adds Jovanna, referring to her family. \u201cAnd I will not stop believing in myself.\u201d\n

Her powerful message is now touching victims of the horrific attack in Las Vegas and others around the world who may be living with fear after any given tragedy.\n

\u201cWe will not let people like him [the shooter] win,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd we will not live in fear\u201d.\n
