Stephanie Decker is a hero. She saved her two children from a tornado by laying her body on top of them. She lost both her legs, but that didn't keep her from walking onto the Ellen stage. It's only been two months and doctors said it would take a year before she'd be walking, but she is. Not only that, she's dancing!
