Bump is not a fracture, right-fractures go in not out? I just do not believe Emma would have been completely conscious and responsive with a fractured skull. I dont believe Emma would have been conscious for many of her final injuries. Given that her vagina was bleeding two days prior, I am wondering the age of the tear? The rest of the injuries like the ribs, skull and pancreas would have put her out pretty quickly....imo.
Maybe not believe. Not from what the Childrens Hosp of Boston says:

A skull fracture is a break in the skull bone. There are four major types of skull fractures, including the following:
linear skull fractures - This type accounts for almost 70 percent of skull fractures. In a linear fracture, there is a break in the bone, but it does not move the bone. These children are usually observed in the hospital for a brief amount of time, and can usually resume normal activities in a few days. No interventions are usually necessary.
depressed skull fractures - This type of fracture may be seen with or without a cut in the scalp. In this fracture, part of the skull is actually sunken in from the trauma. Usually, this type of skull fracture requires surgical intervention to help correct the deformity.
diastatic skull fractures - These are fractures that occur along the suture lines in the skull. The sutures are the areas between the bones in the head that fuse with the growth of the child. In this type of fracture, the normal suture lines are widened. These fractures are more often seen in newborns and older infants. These are fractures that occur along the suture lines in the skull. The sutures are the areas between the bones in the head that fuse with the growth of the child. In this type of fracture, the normal suture lines are widened. These fractures are more often seen in newborns and older infants.
basilar skull fracture - This is the most serious type of skull fracture, and involves a break in the bone at the base of the skull. Children with this type of fracture frequently have bruises around their eyes and a bruise behind their ear. They may also have clear fluid draining from their nose or ears due to a tear in part of the covering of the brain. These children require close observation in the hospital.
The symptoms of a mild head injury may include:
mild head injury:
raised, swollen area from a bump or a bruise at the site of the blow
small, superficial (shallow) cut in the scalp
headache
sensitivity to noise and light
irritability
confusion
lightheadedness and/or dizziness
problems with balence
nausea
problems with memory and/or concentration
change in sleep patterns
blurred vision
"tired" eyes
ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
alteration in taste
fatigue/lethargy
moderate to severe head injury (that requires immediate medical attention) -symptoms may include any of the above plus:
loss of consciousness
severe headache that does not go away
repeated nausea and vomiting
loss of short term memory, such as difficulty remembering the events that led right up to and through the traumatic event
slurred speech
difficulty with walking
weakness in one side or area of the body
sweating
pale in color
seizures or convulsions
behavior changes including irritable
blood or clear fluid draining from the ears or nose
one pupil (dark area in the center of the eye) looks larger than the other eye
deep cut or laceration in the scalp
open wound in the head (The scalp contains many blood vessels and a cut or laceration due to trauma can be associated with substantial bleeding and blood loss.)
foreign object penetrating the head
coma (a state of unconsciousness from which a person cannot be awakened; responds only minimally, if at all, to stimuli; and exhibits no voluntary activities)
vegetative state (a condition of brain damage in which a person has lost his thinking abilities and awareness of his surroundings, but retains some basic functions such as breathing and blood circulation)
locked-in syndrome (a neurological condition in which a person is conscious and can think and reason, but cannot speak or move)

Notice that no where does it recommend treating with super glue.....
uke:
waitasec: -incomprehensible IMO...), so why be so willing to share her daughter with him? She strikes me as the jealous type. Perhaps that is why she allowed Emma to be killed ('cause in my mind, that is what happened - despite what the jury decided)?? And why only Emma? There was another daughter from her union with BT....(hope this doesn't get me banned)
