[AMP-L] Miracle Girl Turns Childhood Injury Into Awareness Campaign [Video]

For the last 14 years, Jesse Keaton has been called a "miracle girl." 
But the name stems from a nightmare.  

At 6 years old, she fell off her dad's tractor in Yadkin County while 
they were mowing hay. In an interview with WXII back in 2008, days 
after the accident, Keaton described the scary moments of trying to 
save herself as the blades were still going.  

"The big wheel pulled me back and it went on my whole body," she said 
in the interview. "I got chopped in my hand a little bit, but I 
didn't feel it."  

She ended up having one of her legs amputated just above the knee, a 
crushed rib, a few fingers sliced shorter and lost a knuckle. Her 
remaining foot was "butterflied," according to Keaton, and still  
gives her issues now as a 20-year-old.
