Via Houston Chronicle:
Attorney Richard Mithoff, who represents the child’s family, said the child continues to receive anti-seizure medication more than seven months after she was struck by a line drive off the bat of Chicago Cubs player Albert Almora at Minute Maid Park.
“She (the child) has an injury to a part of the brain, and it is permanent,” Mithoff said. “She remains subject to seizures and is on medication and will be, perhaps, for the rest of her life. That may or may not be resolved.”
Mithoff said the child’s brain injury has affected her central nervous system in a manner that doctors described as being equivalent to a stroke. Areas of the brain affected, he said, include those in which injuries can result in seizures, loss of sensation and loss of spatial awareness.
I hate that a kid was hurt, I really do. But you can sit anywhere in the stadium, why sit with your kid in one of the hot zones for line drive foul balls?
I blame the parents for this as much as anybody. They have seats behind netting already. Sit there or further away from the action with your small child.
