Lana Batochir says hasn't yet told her daughter that both her feet were severed in a Lake Michigan boating incident at Chicago's 'Playpen.'
"I really want to tell her sooner than later and just be able to hug her and kiss her," she said in a video update from her hospital bed on Wednesday. "I know she's going to accept me. And she's going to understand that momma's going to have robot, prosthetic legs. And hopefully she'll think it's cool."
"This is why I feel so lucky. I could've died - and I'm alive. And I'm able to hug my kids. I'm able to kiss them," she said. "I'll be able to see my kids grow up and see them graduate from high school, college. It's going to be good. That really keeps me going." To correct the drifting, the captain placed the boat in reverse and it smashed into a floating raft. Some people on the raft fell into the water, and Batochir and another woman got caught in the yacht's propeller. The other woman lost a finger and cut her arm.Authorities said they planned to interview more than two dozen people who witnessed the accident. It's unclear when the investigation will be completed and if any charges will be filed.
