It grazed her breast, went through her lower colon and came out above her hip.It damaged a nerve in her left leg, said Wooten.

Shes also fighting a complicated and mysterious virus.

It got into her blood stream and made her heart week. Its some kind of virus, they dont know what it is, said Wooten.

This past week, Barbara Wooten had a heart transplant. Her son says the family is still suffering from those devastating shots fired by Cox in October 2007.
