A Little One needs some help

Hey everyone, here is a story that is on another web site that I called the contact person, and this is real. This little girl had surgery yesterday and now has a trach and is in very serious condition.
This was her first time ever down a track and if any of you have maybe a couple of shirts that you can sign and send them for the auction that they are having, I was told that every little bit will help for this unfortunate accident for the family.
I've signed and sent t-shirts and cd's, but anything would be great and it only takes a few minutes.


FYI: I just saw an update that stated the operation to fuse her spine was successful, so with that being great news, there's still a long way to go.


JR. DRAGSTER RACER NEEDS OUR HELP

8-year-old Kaylee Greer suffered life threatening injuries while making her very first pass in a Jr. Dragster at Ohio Valley Dragstrip near Louisville, Kentucky last week. According to reports, after turning off the track her car veered left and hit a retaining wall head-on.

Kaylee either tore or broke the muscles and tendons in her neck which hold the head in place. The only thing keeping her head attached was her skin and spine. When help arrived, Kaylee was unconsious and not breathing, and the paramedic at the scene is credited with saving her life.
Kaylee was StatFlighted to Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, where doctors said they had never seen anyone survive the type of injuries she suffered. She's presently still at Kosair, where she underwent surgery last week and was fitted with a halo. Kaylee has been kept sedated to keep her from moving, and had additional surgery this week to put in trach and a feeding tube. Her father reported that she has moved her hands and feet, but her road to recovery will be a long one.


A race to benefit Kaylee is scheduled for Sunday, April 22, at Ohio Valley Dragway. Complete race details, as well as information regarding other fund-raising activties scheduled for the day of the race, can be found on the track's web site at: www.ohiovalleydragway.com

A silent auction will also be held that day at the track and if anyone would like to donate an item to be auctioned off for Kaylee's benefit they can contact:

Tammy Smith, 502-494-7864, or Missy Bobblitt, 502-510-1933.
