Sweet Jesus, AGAIN?
This freak accident is getting to be not-so-freaky.
Minneapolis A 6-year-old Edina, Minn. girl has been hospitalized after a horrific accident at a swimming pool.
An ambulance rushed her to Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. Several hours later a surgeon said Abigail was lucky to be alive."The suction had caused a two-inch tear in her rectum and had basically disemboweled her by pulling out her small intestines, almost all of it," said Taylor.Her father said a search of the pool filter turned up Abigail's intestine. He said Abigail was seriously wounded because the cover of the drain had been removed.
Abigail will have to be fed intravenously for the rest of her life and will have to have a colostomy bag.
Since 1990, 170 people, mostly children, have been caught in drains and 27 of them have died.

That's a million bucks per dead kid that John Edwards has made off of pool drain lawsuits.
