“Without thinking, I reached in, and my hair got caught,” Abare told Inside Edition.
In a desperate situation, she screamed for help, and her children rushed to her aid.
“I told them, ‘Find a pair of scissors and cut Mommy’s hair out so I can get free,'” she recounted.
Her son, Sam, quickly turned off the engine while her daughter, Logan, carefully cut her hair to release her from the machinery.
“They were incredibly focused and driven by the need to help their mom,” Abare said, praising her children’s quick thinking.
Dr. Keimun Slaughter, treating Abare at the Williams Center for Plastic Surgery in Albany, aims to eventually prepare her scalp for a hair transplant. In the meantime, Abare uses a wig to cover her injuries.
“I wear my wig, and it feels like it’s still the same. But mentally, it’s a struggle,” she admitted tearfully.
