OXFORD — A 4-year-old girl who suffered a fractured skull after a television set fell on her head March 29, is on her way to recovery, her mother, Brittney Footman, Tuesday.

To help the family, Amanda’s Trademark Salon and Spa on Main Street in Norway is holding a fundraiser, Pink Streaks for Kaydence.

Now until April 26, the salon is weaving a pink hair extension in customers’ hair for $6. Half of the proceeds goes to the Footman family to help Kaydence through her recovery, according to salon owner Amanda Miclon.

“I can’t believe the amount of support there is,” Miclon said Tuesday at the salon. She said since the fundraiser began, the salon has done 230 streaks and raised a little more than $500.

The goal is to do 1,000 pink streaks by Saturday, April 13. Miclon said walk-ins are welcome at the salon on Friday, April 12, specifically for “Pink Streaks for Kaydence.”

“I love walking through the store and seeing all the streaks,” Miclon said. “It’s amazing how many people have joined us for this!”

According to Footman, Kaydence was in her room changing clothes when she climbed her dresser and it and TV on it fell on her.

“The TV fractured her skull in several places and caused swelling and bleeding on her brain,” Footman explained. She was in a coma for six days. In addition, Kaydence developed pneumonia and a blood infection.

Footman said Kaydence is undergoing physical, occupational and speech therapy at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital in Portland for the next two weeks.

“She has left-side facial droop which just means that she has no expression on that side,” Footman explained, of her daughter’s condition.

“We should be going home shortly after her two-week mark,” she said, Tuesday.

“My four-year-old baby girl woke up a week before expected; talking to us like she did before, moving all around trying to pick up her head, and moving herself around in bed,” Footman posted Tuesday afternoon to a special Facebook page she created, “Love, Prayers and Fundraisers for Kaydence.”

“She is still able to do everything. She could even spell her first and last name!”

“I’m more than relieved,” Footman said. “Words cannot describe how grateful I am that she is OK.”

For months to come, Kaydence will continue with physical therapy and will visit the doctor for check-ups two to three times a week.

Donations may also be made at any Rainbow Federal Credit Union under the account name “Kaydence Donations.”
