According to friends, family and healthcare employees, Christena Allen is a true miracle, coming from almost being a quadriplegic to walking unassisted. Allen, 75, had surgery to remove scar tissue on July 19 at a Huntsville, Ala., hospital. The procedure should have been simple enough, but complications ensued, sending her to the emergency room where she coded two times.
