[@mariebelladonna437]

Colin is very obviously a phenomenal man, and a wonderful stepfather. The world needs more people like him. The only thing I wish, is that Frankie's mom wouldn't have used "real father", to refer to her ex-husband. I feel like it does a bit of a disservice to Colin. Yes, the ex was involved, and that's so wonderful for Frankie. Sadly, that doesn't always happen. And I'm glad for her. But Colin has been involved too, as much as, or more than, the ex. He's been there since Frankie was a toddler, and is doing everything he can to be there for her, since the other man passed away. He's been just as much a real father to her as the ex. SO I feel like the ex should have been referred to as "bio father" or "birth father". Because like I said, they've both been real fathers to her. But that's just my personal opinion. If they're happy with the way they refer to things, then hey, that's fine too. Either way, she is very lucky to have had those two men, and her loving mother, there for her, all her life. And she's very lucky to have come away from her spill so well, and with no lasting issues. My husband was a jockey, so I know full well just how bad horse-related injuries can be. When the narrator first described what had happened to her, I was so worried for her. And then when the story unfolded, I was so relieved! She has definitely been blessed, and I'm glad she understands that, and has a new appreciation for life.

For the life of me, I can't believe that the medics didn't have Frankie's neck secured with the "blocks" prior to transporting. As a flight RN and medic educator, they wouldn't graduate without doing so. That's a nationwide standard. 🇺🇸

They must have. It's standard practice.

[@Haruka96]

@lakotafire2804 what are you blabbering about? They secured her complete body in a vacuum - mattress that is speciali designed to stabilise and fully immobilise patients that are assumed to have a vertebral fracture or any other similar issues. She had fome around her head and then extra patting. Ist the safest way to immobilise patients and secure spine maybe you lack knowledge of it but its golden standard and saves lives in Europe as it is more secure than just blocks. As soon as they arrived in the hospital and the vacuum mattress was "relaxed" her head was fixated to the blocks with a tape.... So no, no mistake was made my mistaken American colleague....

So no... I don't think i was rude. You wanted to be super clever and insightful and was obnoxious in the end. I just couldn't ignore your comment and let just one more person believe they did something wrong which they obviously didn't. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Is it so hard to say you where wrong and apologize or are you just going to pout in the corner?

I'll pray for you that you will someday seek professional help before you hurt someone or get injured yourself. I truly hope that you're not an EMT.

My Daughter volunteered 5yrs with the deaf and went to college learning sign language interpretation. She took one year off, working to pay for school and they gave her no breaks or lunch with broken technology and having to do repetitive motion started to complain of wrist pain, her doctor did nothing for 1yr. She told me, I rushed her to my specialist who did MRI, Cortisone, rushing to hand specialist who completed emergency hand surgery as bone had died, fragmented touching next bone which killed it and so on. All bones across top removed, 2yrs later emergency surgery bone at base of thumb and bottom of baby finger both touching wrist removed all on dominant hand ending her career. Human rights allowed the treatment she re EI Ed from employer including fall in front of supervisor requesting to work rest of day u til she turned grey getting her to drive herself to hospital with severe concussion, vomiting two weeks.

[@SnowPink90]

She took one year off to pay for school and then you said they didn’t give her any breaks.You then went into a whole explanation which ended in her career being ended because of her loss of her fingers than that because she was working with the deaf and she can’t do any sign language when she has no fingers so it ended her career. My question is who caused all this are you blaming the people that she worked for who didn’t give her any breaks?

Children's bones are in a different developmental stage than adults; they're more flexible. A minor fracture in a child Merlin's age can be more like a "tear" in a layer of the bone, for lack of better words. Rather than a splintering or shattering or even a crack, in an adult. Because of that, kids can heal a whole lot quicker, from minor fractures. Source, the doctors who took care of my own son, who fractured his arm, around the same age as Merlin. My son (US) didn't even get a plaster. He got a cast made out of a type of plastic that they warm, and form to the patent's arm. He was just fine in about 3 or 4 weeks, and didn't even need physical therapy. And the above is how the doctors explained it to me.

We pray for him to change his mind, but we would never shut him out. I do know some people that are very intolerant of believers and outwardly spiteful, but again, the vast majority aren’t.
