Subject: urgent prayer needed Thursday night an 8 month old little girl named Delaney pulled a hot Fry Daddy on her body. Her mom, Deena, pulled her out of her walker and also burned herself. They lifeflighted the little girl to Scott and White and then to Parkland Burn Center in Dallas. She has 40% burns on the trunk of her body. They are going to amputate at least 3 fingers on one hand and will have to skin graph her mom and dad to repair her. She is in very critical condition and her lungs have filled with water. They don't know if she will live or not. They say the next two or three days will decide. They live in Florence, Texas and have two other children. They need as many prayers as they can get. Will you please forward this? |
Comments: Though outdated (circulating since 2001), this message is broadly accurate: In May 2001, 8-month-old Delaney Parrish, daughter of Deana and Deven Parrish of Florence, Texas, was hospitalized at Parkland Burn Center in Dallas with third-degree burns over at least 30 percent of her body after pulling a Fry Daddy deep fryer full of hot oil onto herself. Her mother was also burned, though less seriously. Now two years old, Delaney's recovery has been slow and painful, involving repeated skin grafts and the amputation of two fingers, but otherwise quite successful according to a Web page devoted to monitoring the child's condition.
