WARNING!!!! Graphic pics of GG's boo boo!!!
Posted: April 21st, 2008, 6:10 pm
I have an actual video of her getting hit. Not the actual hit but the event is heard. The kids screamed and I came running out. We are still unsure as to what happened but Caetie did leave the key in the golf cart and Ben hopped on and gunned it. Caetie jumped back on it to stop him and GG ended up getting hit. We don't know if she was completely ran over or clipped or pinned... I will upload the video later. The screams are scary. All the kids freaked out. Toby cried the whole way to the hospital. Caetie was being careless but it was an accident. The rules are changing with regards to the golf cart IF it stays! LOL! We might be selling that sucker. Anywho...
Allie came up to the door screaming that Caetie ran over GG with the golf cart. I heard them all screaming so I ran out back and screamed for Danny and started praying. LOL! GG was walking up the back yard holding her head. She looked fine but I didn't know if she had anything internal going on cause I wasn't sure if she was completely ran over. I picked her up and set her on the trampoline. I asked her what hurt. She said her ear and was holding the right one. I looked at her right ear and it was fine. She had stopped crying and was kind of whining. I said, ohhhhhhh your okay. I carried her inside to check her over just in case.
She looked like this sitting in triage but you can't tell by looking at her that anything is wrong.
Danny stayed outside and made Caetie put the golf cart up and issued to warnings about it. She was driving right up on Ben and got a good talking to over that one. I was right inside the door checking GG. I asked her what was hurting and she said her head. She looked fine... just muddy and dirty like she was drug. So I flipped her hair back and checked the other side of her head... that's when I saw....
I yelled OH MY GOD DANNY! I'M GONNA PASS OUT!!! He came running around the corner and looked and said Oh God and grabbed the phone and hit 911. I gathered myself enough to say NO! We can drive her. We don't need an ambulance.
We were kinda panicky. GG was just looking at us. LOL!! She never really cried or bled. It was leaky.
We told all the kids to get shoes on and get in the van. Toby started crying then. Caetie was tore up. The kids were praying and saying my sister, my sister. LOL! I threw some clothes on. We made the phone calls and headed out.
They scanned her head. X rayed her foot... she had skid marks on her foot and a little sore. We still aren't sure what all got run over or hit. After giving her a bath tonight... she has a huge cut on her butt
and a nice big scrape on her side. Poor child. Here are a few more pics. She did SOOOO good. Everyone was shocked that she didn't cry or anything. It barely even oozed. Come to find out, she severed all the sensory nerves in her ear. She wasn't feeling anything. The Dr said some of it would come back but it would always feel weird to her. I am glad she didn't feel anything.
The worry now is keeping infection out. She is on antibiotics and a topical cream. Keep praying that it heals up quickly with no problems. She gets checked next wednesday to make sure it is healing up good. Her ear is a sticking out a little weird and kinda crooked but at least it is attached!!
