Mallory Hammer’s marriage and college graduation plans were put on hold in March 2018 after a dental procedure caused a severe brain injury. Mallory, then 21, transferred to the University of Kansas for care and was placed in a coma. There, doctors remained guarded about her future.
Arriving to Madonna’s Omaha Campus a month later, Mallory was unable to walk, eat or talk and barely able to keep her eyes open. For the next six months, she worked hard in therapy, developing tight bonds with her care team and fellow patients. Dubbed #MiracleMallory by family and friends, once back home in St. Marys, Kansas, her brain continued to heal in outpatient therapy. As she made gains, she also resumed her goals of graduating college and marrying fiancé Kyle in October 2020.
Today, Mallory is a small business owner, standing, walking and talking independently and optimistic for the future.
