			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     In early September a mother picked up her six year old daughter and placed her in the car seat in the back seat of their car. The girl had a jump rope which she threw out of the open window, the other end around her wrist. The end that went out the window wrapped around the axle of their car and immediately ripped the girls hand off. The mother turned to see blood spurting everywhere and no hand at the end of her daughters wrist.</p>
<p>She stopped in the street and several other cars passing by stopped to help. One man tied his belt around the girls arm to stop the bleeding, one woman called for help, while another couple found the childs severed hand and directed traffic around it.</p>
<p>The girl underwent ten hours of surgery to reattach the hand. The surgery went well and the doctors believe there&#8217;s a good chance that the little girl will eventually regain full use of her hand. Doctors say the operation was difficult because of all the tiny veins, nerves, and blood vessels.</p>
