Here is video of the news that an 11 year-old girl that was pinned under an iron beam in Haiti has been rescued after hours of work! Reports had been done about the girl earlier in the day as rescuers tried to free her. They were having to decide whether or not to amputate her leg to free her, or continue to try to free her and save the leg. They were able to cut the beam off of her and get her out with her leg intact, although she is badly injured. She is now being treated at a facility about three hours away from Port-Au-Prince. Hopefully, they will be able to save her leg.
I’m touched, speechless and feel so helpless.
Hallelujah! Some Freepers rationally advocated amputation. What a blessing that she may keep her leg intact.
