Dead Little Boy?!? :'(


Question Posted Friday May 20 2005, 5:19 pm

For the past 3 years I have been walking home its al been safe and no one ever got hurt, untill today....
My sister (Shes 12 and in 5th grade) was walking hom with her boyfriend (same age as kate) like any other day and the light was green but no cars were comming so as kate waited for the light to turn red her boyfrined darted acoross the road for no cars were comming, it that short of time someone turned out of a parking lot a couple yards away and turned and hit the little boy, My little sister saw the accident and heard the band of the TRUCK hit the little boy flinging him and then stoped a couple feet away from where his body layed. He was life flighted to a hospital because he was bleeding and complaning about his back hurting. My sister has calmed down after being REALLLY upset and crying none stop for an hour shes not home right now shes with my dad and i want to know. Is he going to be okay? Hes little ., Whats the chance of his surviving? IT SCARES ME SOO MUCH BECAUSE IF SHE WOULD OF FOLLOWED HIM SHE WOULD BE IN MY SHOES,
also my best friend and sister always say that i am a "mother hen" and make fun of me because if a car isnt slowing down fast enough evne during a red light or if i even think a car is going to be too close i will hold them bakc with my arms ... and then today.. I am sick to my stomich!


PLEASE ANWER!!!

Hello there,

Please keep us all posted. You can e-mail me anytime at: dangernerd@gmail.com

We are praying for him, and that's all we can do.

Internal injuries are always serious, but you simply would not believe what the human body can pull through and be ok.

Now, I would like to thank you. Thank you for being the "mother hen." Had you not taken the teasing they gave you, your sister would be right there with him in the hospital. It is likely because of you that she thought twice about doing something that dumb.

Our prayers are with him,

DangerNerd.

Yahweh(God)will work it out.

o0 wow! That is really sad and Im sorry that happened to him! He should of been more careful but its defenetly not his fault. I think that he will be okay and I really want him to. If he was hurt really bad then he might just be injuried but he will survive! Just think of happier things that he will be okay. Dont let your sister be upset and just be there for her. ♥

There isn't a way to know for sure if he's going to make it out alright. With God's guidance and many prayers he will return to be a normal functioning child. But, because he's a smaller person, he took the brunt of the truck in a smaller place. Because he's smaller, however, there was less of him to hit. (make sense?)And, because he's smaller, he probably has more life and spirit in him than you're giving him credit for. Little kids always have bigger hearts and soaring spirits when life has got them down. Visit the child often, encourage him, tell him he looks alot better, that you love him, you're praying for him, that you're sure he's going to get well etc. Positive feedback is SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER important to a child. If he isn't told that he has a reason to live, he's more likely to give up. Help him fight this battle. You can't do it all alone, of course, but you can help. You can't endure the pain he will, but you can be supportive and encouraging - which is what he needs.
He may have to have surgery. There is not a way of knowing if he will or not just from what you've said. He may have (MAY!) broken a rib or (yikes) his backbone. A rib is much easier to repair than is his backbone. Sadly, if his back is hurting, it could also mean internal damage. One of his kidneys may have been split, severed etc., or his pancreas, or liver. It is also likely that he has a colapsed lung. If the truck hit him the way you described, that probably would have colapsed (or at least bruised) one or both of his lungs. But, if he was breathing okay, then maybe his lungs weren't damaged. Hopefully he doesn't have brain damage; though a concussion would be expected. A concussion is not life threatening 99% of the time nor does it leave brain damage.
Pray like you've never prayed before for this boy. He needs it.



I wanna know what happens. If it is at all possible, let me know how he is doing.


You need a hug.

not_your_star34 answered Friday May 20 2005, 6:18 pm:
It depends on his injuries. You have to find out what's wrong with his back. Is it broken? Or is it just bruised? How and where is he bleeding? Was anything broken? We can't really say much because we don't know how (and how bad) he's injured.

Was he run over? I think that he would have a better chance of surviving if he wasn't. What about his head? Did his head get hit at all? If his head was hurt bad enough, then that could cause problems.

How fast was the truck going? The slower it was going, the better. If it was going fast, I would be more worried.

If there's no internal bleeding, he has no damage to internal organs (like the heart, brain, etc), and if his neck isn't broken, I think that he'll survive.

However, that's just my opinion, and shouldn't be believed over that facts.

Also... stay a "mother hen!" It will be better in the long run (it already is better)!

I hope I helped, and if you need any more help, feel free to leave a question in my inbox!

zapreth answered Friday May 20 2005, 5:54 pm:
There is no way of knowing until it is reported on the news. Things like this happen often. Someone doesn't pay attention and an innocent pays the price. I hope the boy survives, but no one can tell you unless they work his cse at the hospital or at the police department. Crossing the street is NEVER safe. All you can do is be as careful as you already are. Nothing is completely safe. Most anything can happen to anyone. All you can do is be as careful as possible, but allow yourself to live your life. It is difficult, I didn't get my drivers liscense until I was 17. I could handle the danger to myself, but I just could deal with the possibility of harming someone else. Big hug!

I think that whereever this little boy is they will take good care of him. tell your sister not to worry if he makes it he will be right back playing with her again. tell her that life is too short not to pay attention. i think that after a while your little sister will snap back to being herself again. it is really great that you are that concerned about your sister and that little boy. your great. i just hope that little boy will be okay.

for his chances of survivle it depends on how badly he is injured, if its horrible then he has a lease chance of surviving and if the actcident wasent that bad then he has a better chance it all depends, if he is in the hospital u could go and ask his doctor or call his parents and ask, im so sorry! hope i helped! G00D LUCK! X0X`
