The mother of two was seriously hurt last month, after a boat crashed into a raft that she was on with her friends in the area of Lake Michigan known as "The Playpen."
The accident happened late in the afternoon on Aug. 13 as the captain of a rented yacht struggled with a malfunctioning anchor and began drifting, according to a preliminary accident report.
