Serena’s Pain, Smiles & Recovery

One Southern Colorado Mom is still pro-pit bull. Melissa Everett’s young child was viciously attacked by one a month ago. She brought nearly ten month old Serena to the KRDO, NewsChannel 13 studios, Tuesday morning. Melissa said this about pit bulls, “Support the breed. There’s nothing wrong with the breed, just keep an eye out for your children around animals.”

Melissa Everett told us it was a terrible accident that left her child with surgeries and more in the future. The baby walker accidentally ran over the dog’s hurt leg. Serena was at her Grandfather’s house in yoder. He owned the dog. The animal did get put down, but Melissa still has nothing against the pit bull, reinforcing the message that accidents happen. While Serena and Melissa were at the studio, the little girl who has been through some big pain was all smiles. Melissa told us, she’s been like that following the attack, despite her pain.

Serena’s next surgery in in May. Skin grafts on her eye will be done. Currently she can’t close it but doctors believe that will be corrected. Don’t worry, we’ll continue to keep you updated on little Serena’s condition.
