On the morning of July 2nd Hannah was enjoying a family event hosted at the “Harding Hideout” (A little park at aunt Geri’s House). She joined others in swinging of the highest point that drops a rider off over the water. Unfortunately as Hanna mounted the swing the board/seat broke and Hanna was unable to keep a hold of the rope and fell approximately 30 ft to the sand below. Hannah landed on her right leg first, that leg collapsed dropping her on her chest and leaving her face down in the sand. There was a friend of the family with medical training that was able to assess the situation and have others help in rolling Hannah over onto her back to enable resuscitation since she had stopped breathing. Someone called 911 and they told us to start chest compression. The man hesitated for some reason and in the mean time she started breathing again. Doctors said it was a good thing that he hadn’t because it probably would have killed her. Marina and others stayed right with her until the ambulance arrived approx. 40 minutes later. Thanks to their quick actions and the help of the Lord, Hannah is with us today.
The paramedics were called and Hanna was transported as quickly as her injuries would allow to The Uintah Basin Medical Center in Roosevelt Utah. The staff in Roosevelt did everything they could to keep Hannah stable and prepare her for Life flight to IMC in Murray UT. Hannah was then transported to IMC in the mid-afternoon as the family waited to be told of her status and what her injuries may be.
