‘It was terrifying. I was a little ahead of them in the timing of it all,’ the mother said.‘I was as afraid of my life as I had ever been, and not much scares me,’ she tells WHAM.
Speaking about the sickest days, she said:
“I was extremely concerned that I was never going to be the same.”
The family is slowly on the way to recovery after isolating for weeks.
It remains unclear how Jencik herself was infected.
When Jencik became seriously ill, her kids – some of whom are adopted – started to show symptoms.

“I was as afraid of my life as I had ever been, and not much scares me.”
The mom-of-eighteen doesn’t know how she contracted coronavirus.
“I was extremely concerned that I was never going to be the same,” Jencik said of her battle with the disease that has infected millions and killed over 30,000 Americans.
The Jenciks are finally on the road to recovery after weeks of isolation and the busy mom asked her friend, Matt Moreno, the CEO of Purify Global, to sanitize her home.
Moreno brought in a team of 12 to scrub down her upstate abode for two hours, wearing hazmat suits for protection while Jencik’s family waited outside.
“We put on commercial grade gas masks with a cartridge that’s meant to withstand a nuclear attack,” he said.
Jencik said it was necessary because she “needed to know from my mama heart that I was protecting the people I love to the best extent I possibly could.”
