No. He lived. He had to have a hole drilled in his skull so that the brain could swell without causing further damage, and both of his legs were broken. He was in traction for a long time. But, he didn't remember the accident at all. The last thing he remembered was playing "Chutes and Ladders" with his grandma that afternoon. I visited him in the hospital, even though he didn't know who I was. He made a full recovery.
The family was excellent. The highway he ran into is heavily used by semis avoiding a weigh station. They just kept telling me how lucky they were that it wasn't a semi. Apparently, everyone thought he was with someone else, and no one even knew that he wasn't being watched. By the way, I didn't even get a ticket for that. It was deemed unavoidable on my part. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Stanley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 12:30 PM Subject: RE: This woman should be executed > did the litte boy die, deanna? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Deanna Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 1:28 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: This woman should be executed > > > Okay, when I was 16, I hit a 6 year-old boy that ran into the road in front > of me from behind a snow bank.
