Just a day before she was scheduled to report to prison, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes received a reprieve from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

That means that the 39-year-old—who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in November—will have at least a little bit longer to spend time with her two children, including her newborn daughter, Invicta, whose name is based on the Latin word for “unconquered.”
