Decker has been receiving care at a Florida facility and will be discharged on Friday.
“We were swimming to the ladder. And I kind of felt something nudge my leg. And I looked at her and I was like, what was that,” said Decker from her hospital bed. “We kept swimming. And then I felt a tug on my leg. And I knew right then and there that I was a bit.”
She said recovering will be difficult and is grateful for all her support.
