A beary big thank you to Mrs. Willis’ 4th grade class at Springfield Elementary who donated 14 Build-a-Bears with outfits and an additional $420 for #SHCGreenville’s Bear Club. Every patient who has surgery at Greenville Shriners Hospital is welcomed with a brand new Build-A-Bear. After their initial surgery, if the child requires additional surgical procedures, they can choose a new outfit to go with their bear.

“Dominic loved to do yard work and cut the grass with his grandpa and plant flowers with his grandma,” said his mother, Shelley. “On June 8, 2007, our family learned very quickly just how dangerous a lawn mower can be to a small child.” With summer just around the corner, people around the country are starting up their lawn mowers to keep their yards in shape for warm weather and backyard get togethers. Dominic’s grandpa had just finished cutting the grass and sat Dominic down on the porch while he put the lawn mower away. The young boy decided he would playfully hide from his grandpa, ducking behind the lawn mower where he was out of view. When his grandpa went to reverse, it accidentally ran over the small child. “Dominic’s left foot was completely severed, he had a huge blade cut to the upper right thigh, and multiple cuts to his small body,” said Shelley. After undergoing multiple initial surgeries, he became a patient #SHCGreenville, where he received his prosthesis for his left leg. Now a teenager, Dominic still has his residual limb, hips and stability checked at the hospital. Despite his trauma, he is thriving. “The lawn mower accident was very upsetting to me because I was so worried about what was going to happen to Dominic in the future,” said Shelley. “Now I know that Dominic will be fine. He has family and friends and the support of Greenville Shriners Hospital.” Many accidental injuries can be prevented with a few simple precautions: -Teach children to never play on or around a lawn mower, even when it is not in use. -Children under 6 years of age should be kept inside the home while mowing. -Children should be at least 12 years of age before operating a push lawn mower and at least 16 years of age before operating a riding lawn mower.
