This Mother's Day is unlike any previous one Sue Root has experienced in 16 years as a mother, with a catastrophic head injury that her middle child, Amy Sue suffered. The 8-year-old was struck by a truck while riding her scooter Jan. 24, and thrown 60 feet. A Sheriff's helicopter flew her to Halifax Medical Center and every day since then has been trying for the Edgewater single mother of three. In the photo are Root's three children, Noah, Amy Sue and Lauren. Noah and Lauren are home-schooled since the accident, which makes it easier on everyone.
EDGEWATER -- Like a horror movie in slow motion, Amy Sue Root was struck by a truck while riding her little pink scooter and thrown 60 feet. She survived the 4:37 p.m. accident on Jan. 24, but her life is forever changed. And so was that of a single mother of three who worked as a hospice nurse. On this Mother's Day, Sue Root is out of a job, low on cash and hoping for a miraculous recovery that doctors have told her to forget about.
