Family: Teen's right foot reattached after amusement park accident

Gosh I've been wondering about this poor girl. How horrible. Well, with one foot at least she's got a chance to not spend life in a wheelchair. Maybe. Prayers for her!

Officials from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture said earlier this week that it could take many more weeks to determine exactly what caused Kaitlyn's injuries.

I'm guessing the poor girl's feet didn't just fall off.

[To Hell With Poverty]

Poor thing. Thirteen years old — what a horrible age at which to go through something disfiguring like that.

[DancesWithCats]

Yes. We should all send greeting cards to cheer her up. If she got a mountain of them from all around the world, surely it would help lift her spirits!! I know I’m sending one ... hope y’all do as well?

[To Hell With Poverty]

*sigh*

Not my strong point...I still have thank-you cards to send out for baby gifts (my daughter is five months old already)...She'll get a prayer from me for sure though! ;)

[DancesWithCats]

And she’s beautiful! Congratulations! (I always keep a load of greeting cards and stamps right handy by the front door so I can do that anytime. Otherwise, it’s a lost cause. And it’s such a simple thing to do. In these days of easy emails, it’s nice to get a card with a handwritten note. (leftover habits from gramma, bless her lil Irish heart!)

[DancesWithCats]

This is one of those cases that’ll be years in the courts. And when she wins, it won’t put things to rights, but it will help her to cope a little easier with the handicapping condition she’s been left with. I don’t think I’d be too keen to ride an amusement ride anymore. Not that I ever was.

[kinoxi]

I enjoy the rides. It brings great relief to me after waiting in line for so long.../s :)

I like amusement park rides and I would like to know why this poor child's feet were chopped off. They didn't fall off. It could not have been bloodless, and they retrieved her feet from somewhere. How did this happen? The investigation continues.

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

I am not saying this is the reason this happened, but many times bad things happen to us now, so good things can happen later.

I know one thing, if a Son of God came up to me and restored my missing limbs, I would be much more inclined to listen and obey their instructions.

Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

A heavy cable snapped and hit her ankles and legs like a lethal bullwhip. They don't know why the cable snapped and so this is what they are investigating.

[kinoxi]

A physical break in a pretensed cable shouldn't take that long to assess. This seems more like BS to me.

I'm sure they're assessing how far out their bottoms are hanging out and how can they duck and cover ...

Sorry to Hear About Your Accident,
Kaitlyn

Though accidents will happen in spite of all we do,
It’s a shame one had to happen
To a person nice as you...
But everyone is hoping
That it won’t be very long
Until you’re up and out again
Feeling well and strong!
T, C & C
