Boston bombing: UA grad, husband face amputation rehab together
Only the most seriously injured of the 188 marathon bombing patients remain
hospitalized. Patrick Downes and Jessica Kensky Downes are among them.
The couple was cheering runners near the finish line of the Boston Marathon
when the explosions threw them apart. Patrick and Jessica, a 2003 graduate
of the University of Arizona, each lost the lower part of their left legs.
Friends are having a hard time reconciling this news with memories of the joyful pair
who married just last August. Smiles in photos of Jessica and Patrick jump off the screen.

Friends and strangers have donated more than $500,000 in four days to help the couple cope with whatever comes next.
