ELDORADO—Details are sketchy, but it appears that there was an accident earlier today at the home of an Eldorado resident that’s resulted in a baby being airlifted from Ferrell Hospital.
According to sources associated with the hospital, the baby, whom we’re hearing is a little girl aged 11 months, was left with her mom’s boyfriend while the mother ran to Dollar General. The boyfriend apparently had a 15-month-old of his own he was also caring for. The two babies were apparently roughhousing on the sofa and the younger of the two fell off and bonked her head.
Somehow or another when the mother arrived home it was determined the baby was in bad shape and they took her to Ferrell. From there, she was airlifted to another facility; we’re trying to learn where.
These same sources advised that there were investigators, possibly state police, preparing to get a search warrant earlier this evening for the residence where this took place. We’re not sure why, unless it’s just a precaution, as this simply looks to be an unfortunate accident.
If we learn names we’ll bring them to you; be watching for updates.
