Tough 10 year old girl

MAYSVILLE, Mo. -- A northern Missouri girl is recovering from an infection after being impaled by a pitchfork while doing chores on the family farm.

Darian, 10, was getting hay from the barn to put in the bird pens when the accident occurred. Her mother said she knew something was wrong when she heard the other children screaming.

"Yelling at me that she had a pitchfork in her leg -- not sure what that meant. And when I got there, she actually had a pitchfork in her leg," mother Amanda Barton told KMBC's Dan Weinbaum.

Darian had somehow fallen with enough force to drive the pitchfork through her leg.


"I talked to the 911 dispatcher, told her what happened, and I had to repeat it three or four times because they didn't believe it," Barton said.

Darian's father cut the pitchfork away from her leg, leaving one prong sticking through her calf.

Darian flew in a helicopter to get to a hospital, which the 10-year-old said was "awesome."

Doctors took X-rays and then pulled out the skewer.

Barton said her daughter didn't cry at all, and in fact, she was cracking jokes, saying, "Consider me done, I have a fork in me."

Because the pitchfork was used in the bird pens, it was covered in feces. Darian contracted a staph infection and salmonella poisoning. She's taking medication.

When I was ten I fell in a 4' deep gap between 2 concrete forms in the ground. I pulled myself out and started laughing about my stupidity to the people that were there. But they weren't laughing and told me to look at my leg. I ripped a huge gash in my knee and could see my kneecap. I then turned into a crying little girl, something like ConstipatedVigilante but with more sobs.

So I can confidently say that the 10 year old girl that this happened to is more man than I am.

Why is it that stuff like that only starts hurting when you see it?

I did that when I just stubbed my toe this morning.
 
When I had a hammer slam into my skull, I made jokes about it too even though my entire shirt was covered in blood. It was because I was in shock and never felt a thing.

I hope her leg heals up ok.
