OWLS HEAD, Maine — The mother of a 5-year-old Maine boy who lost a hand in a freak accident says her son is preparing to enter physical rehabilitation as doctors wait for nerve regeneration in the reattached hand.
Cassidy Keene of Owls Head says doctors are pleased with Noah’s progress but that his swollen hand with a protruding pin remains a frightful sight, causing the boy to scream in terror when the bandages are changed.

The boy had a jump rope wrapped around his wrist while it dangled out of a vehicle on June 26, snagging on another car and taking off his hand and breaking his arm.
Keene tells the Bangor Daily News that it’s been difficult to see her son suffer. She says mornings are tough when she changes the dressings.
