Pregnant Mom Jumps from Two-Story Window to Flee Fire at 36 Weeks: Her Family's Incredible Story of Survival (Exclusive)
One year after Rachel and Travis Standfest narrowly escaped a house fire, the couple is relishing life with their daughter and awaiting baby No. 2. The couple opens up to PEOPLE about their near-death experience and how they relied on faith and family to get them through a trying time.
Last May, the couple was staying in Rachel's parents' pole barn in Grand Rapids, Michigan, while building their first house about 20 miles away in Rockford. Rachel, who was 36 weeks pregnant at the time, tells PEOPLE that she was at her parents' home across the driveway working with her mom on her baby shower when she called it a night and went to put her pet goat away near the pole barn. She's 36 weeks pregnant, she has a brain injury, she's got a large portion of her body with third-degree burns, yet she's healing at a pace that's triple the speed of what she should be," says Travis.
