The 11-year-old Nebraska girl whose scalp was ripped off when her hair got tangled in a carnival ride has seen herself for the first time since the accident on May 17—and she was all smiles.
“Lulu is stronger than me,” said her mother, Virginia Cooksey on Facebook. “My baby girl saw herself for the first time today. The way she handle it (gave) me strength.”
Cooksey says her daughter, Elizabeth ‘Lulu’ Gilreath, still can’t see out of her left eye, but she is expected to undergo surgery on Friday or Saturday.
