A 9-year-old girl from Idaho had half her skull removed after her head was impaled by a piece of reinforcement bar when she fell out of a tree on Monday, reports say.

Shaylyn Bergeson was playing in the backyard of her north Rexburg home when she accidentally fell out of a tree and landed on a metal reinforcement rod that punctured the left side of her brain, according to a GoFundMe campaign set up on the family’s behalf.

She was initially taken to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center but was then airlifted to the Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, where doctors performed a life-saving surgery on the young girl after giving her family a grim prognosis of a 50 percent chance of survival.

They lost her older sister four years ago at age 10 to a rare chromosomal condition. This poor family is as cursed as the Kennedys.
