Locked In by Arlen Arlen Victoria
Paralympics champion and Dancing with the Stars contestant Victoria Arlen shares her courageous and miraculous story of recovery after falling into a mysterious vegetative state and how she broke free, overcoming the odds and never giving up hope, eventually living a full and inspiring life. When Victoria Arlen was eleven years old, she contracted two rare diseases which induced a vegetative state. For two years her mind was dark, but in the third year, her mind broke free, and she was able to think clearly and to hear and feel everything - but no one knew. When she was fifteen years old, against all odds and medical predictions, she was finally able to communicate through eye blinks, and she gradually regained her ability to speak and eat and move her upper body, but she faced the devastating reality of paralysis from the waist down because of damage to her spine. However, Victoria didn't lose her strength or steadfast determination, and two years later, she won a gold medal for swimming at the London 2012 Paralympics. Victoria shares her story - the pain, the struggle, the fight to live and thrive, and most importantly, the faith that carried her through.
Victoria Arlen's life drastically changed when she developed two rare conditions that left her in a vegetative state. She not only recovered, but has since won three Silver and one Gold medal for swimming at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
