Summer Moll, 4, lies in a bed in the intensive care unit at Tampa General Hospital. All of her limbs are broken.
A mother is dead. Her four year old daughter fights to stay alive and heal the broken bones. A family prays for the child and grieves for the loss of her mother. Look at the picture of this little girl. Next time you even think about getting behind the wheel of a car drunk, remember what she looks like and then ask yourself if you driving your car is that important to you that you would be willing to jeopardize the life of someone else.
The family needs your prayers and so does this little girl. Pray also for the family of the woman who did this. They are hurting as well.
Her mother gone, Summer still fights
The 4-year-old girl injured Sept. 10 in a head-on crash on the Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway is in serious condition. Her grandmother has a message for drunk drivers: "Call a neighbor, call me" instead, she says. "I'll come pick you up." Troopers say a drunk driver caused the crash.
TAMPA — Summer Moll has dozens of breaks in her little 4-year-old bones. She nestles in a hospital bed with a brace circling her neck and pins piercing her legs. With a tube in her throat, she can't talk.
She has been here for two weeks, since the day the SUV came barreling the wrong way on the Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway west of Brandon and smashed into her mother's car.
The crash killed her mother, but she doesn't know that yet. The driver of the car that hit her had been drinking, authorities say.
In intensive care in the days after the Sept. 10 crash, Summer didn't open her eyes. Now, though, she'll wake up for 10-minute intervals. The best medicine seems to be her favorite show, SpongeBob SquarePants, on the hospital television, so a family friend bought her several DVDs.
"Her eyes are wide and awake. She's listening," her grandmother, Tammy Rosian, said.
Summer is fighting and offering her family hope in a dark time.
