PENDLETON, Indiana (WDTN) – Family members say the outpouring of support for Andrea Vellinga has been incredible, but perhaps the only thing that’s topped it is her recovery.

“She was within three minutes of dying and that doctor who stuck that plug into her brain, if he missed it that time it could mean life or death,” says Andrea’s brother Tyler Voss.
