DENVER - Even though she was in a coma, a Grand Junction native received a call from former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning last week.
Savanna Romero was in a very serious motorcycle accident on March 7. She was airlifted to Bismarck, then to Denver.
She has a brain injury, multiple blood clots, 12 broken ribs, bladder infection, MRSA and more, according to her husband Carlos.
After two agonizing weeks, Carlos told KJCT-TV he received a restricted call. On the other end was Peyton Manning.
"I just want you to know you've been in my thoughts and prayers. I know you're going through a tough fight right now, but you've got a lot of people pulling for you and praying for you,” Manning said to Savannah over the phone.
Carlos told KJCT-TV the conversation lasted roughly 10 minutes, just enough time to lift his spirits.
Days later, Savanna responded to the doctor and lifted a finger.
