When her husband came home in the evening, she decided to see a doctor. Ten-month-old son, Jack, his wife took with me, because I thought that the trip will be short-lived.

a Doctor at the local emergency room didn’t take Wendel due to the large number of visitors. When, in the end, it was an appointment, she took blood tests and were given powerful pain medication. At ten o’clock in the clinic came to her parents.

Wendel felt a strong heat and tore the blanket down. Then her father noticed her on the leg like on the trail from the bruised spot the size of a soccer ball. The woman’s husband realized that something was wrong when I saw that caring for her the nurse was crying.
