Shark victim with reattached arm back in hospital
Eight year old Jessie Arbogast, who had his right arm reattached after a shark attack at Gulf Islands National Seashore, is readmitted to Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital in Pensacola with vomiting and potential brain blood loss. He remains awake but unable to speak or walk as doctors run tests and assess brain injury. The boy, from Ocean Springs Mississippi, is expected to stay a few more days. The incident occurred when a 62 foot ball shark bit his arm and thigh and was dragged onto the beach by his uncle before the arm was reattached.
