Natasha's lesson helps save Ohio girl
Connie and Donald McCracken were watching CNN one evening last week when they learned of the tragic death of actress
Natasha Richardson from a head injury. Immediately, their minds turned to their 7-year-old daughter, Morgan,
her father hit a line drive that landed just above Morgan's left temple. A lump formed, but the McCrackens iced it down and the swelling subsided within an hour
When they went upstairs to kiss Morgan good night, she complained of a headache. "Because of Natasha, we called the pediatrician immediately. And by the time I got off the phone with him, Morgan was sobbing, her head hurt so much,"
where doctors ordered a CT scan and immediately put Morgan on a helicopter
same injury as Richardson: an epidural hematoma.
Unlike Richardson's, Morgan's story has a happy ending. After surgery and five days in the hospital, she's at home and doing fine.
