Girl disemboweled in pool


Abigail Taylor is what doctors call a medical miracle. The six-year-old is sitting up, talking and fully aware that she nearly died last Friday in a horrific pool accident at the Minneapolis Golf Club's Kiddie Pool.

Abigail sat on the drain at the bottom of the pool and doctors say her bottom created suction on the drain. They say the strength of the suction from the drain pulled part of her small intestines out of her rear end. Her mom says Abbey somehow pulled herself off the drain and out of the pool before collapsing into the deep end of the regular pool.

"It's a medical miracle that she survived," Abigail's father Scott Taylor said.

The little girl was rushed to Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. Doctors operated for several hours before addressing the family.

"I immediately fell to me knees, my initial reaction was she hadn't survived," Taylor said.

But Abigail did survive, though her life will never be the same.

"She'll basically be on an I.V. That's how she'll receive all of her nutrition based on the fact that her small intestines are gone. She can't process food," Taylor said.

Abigail is scheduled to undergo surgery on Friday to have a port implanted through which she'll be fed.

Taylor is talking to reporters to make sure other parents and pool owners are aware of the dangers lurking at the bottom of pools. Taylor's lawyer says a missing drain cover may be what caused this incomprehensible accident.

The manager of the Minneapolis Golf Club says he wasn't aware of any problems with the pool.

"Whatever happens from this point forward, the fact that she's still with us is amazing. I don't know any other way to say that," Taylor concluded.

Abbey will remain in the hospital for at least a couple of weeks.

Nurse nearly sucked from plane

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- A critical-care nurse aboard an air ambulance fought to keep from being sucked out of the cabin when a window blew out of the aircraft at 20,000 feet.

"I guess it wasn't my day to die," said Chris Fogg, who lives near Boise, Idaho, and was flying with a patient and the pilot last Wednesday from Twin Falls, Idaho, to Seattle. "For anyone else, I think he would have been sucked completely out, but for some reason I was spared, and I don't know why."

Fogg's head and right arm were pulled outside the window, and he suffered cuts to his head. Some equipment, charts, his eye glasses and packages went flying out of the cabin.

The rapid decompression occurred when Fogg was unbuckled from his seat and reaching for a water bottle.

Fogg, 41, is 6 feet tall and weighs 220 pounds. He said his size may have helped him avoid being sucked out of the twin-engine turboprop plane.

"My left hand was on the ceiling and was holding me in, and my knees were up against the wall," Fogg told The Seattle Times in a story published Monday. He said he pushed as hard as he could and got enough air between his chest and the window to break the suction and pull himself back inside the aircraft.

"I have a vivid picture of looking at the tail of the plane and seeing my headset dangling out of the plane," Fogg said.

He fell back into his seat, and grabbed one of the patient's pillows to stop the blood pouring from his head. He said the pilot knew the cabin had decompressed but was not aware of the broken window, so he put the airplane into a dive to a safe altitude of 10,000 feet.

"I kept saying, 'Don't pass out, don't pass out, I have a patient on board and I have to take care of the patient,"' he told the newspaper.

Fogg said the patient, who saw the whole thing, was not in danger because he was on oxygen. The man was a Vietnam veteran and told Fogg he had flashbacks of being shot out of the air.

The pilot made an emergency landing in Boise, and Fogg was rushed to the hospital, where he needed 13 stitches in his head.

Fogg has worked for the Ada-Boi air ambulance service for 24 years, which his father owns. The next day he was back at work.

"It was pretty scary, I'll tell you that," Fogg said
