Excruciating pain is the most immediate problem facing an 8-year-old girl hospitalized after being run over by a tractor Sunday near Shippensburg.

The girl’s mom, Melissa Negley, said her second-grade daughter, Haley Detman, has been on morphine around-the-clock at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, where she’s being treated for injuries and fractures involving her skull, jaw and ribs, as well as lung punctures and a broken shoulder and upper arm.

Even the morphine isn’t enough. Haley is also getting doses of Motrin and ibuprofen. And there’s talk of transferring Haley over to oxycodone, Negley said Wednesday.

“Haley has been having a rough few days and nights,” Negley told PennLive, describing Haley as “stable with serious injuries.”

“She hasn't been sleeping very well. We are trying to find the best medications to get her pain under control,” she added.

Negley said the accident happened near the home of Haley’s father, Jason Haycock, in Southhampton Township on Sunday. She said she didn’t know the exact details of the accident that resulted in a front tire of a tractor running over Haley’s head and chest.

Haley’s accident comes nearly a year after Melissa Negley’s brother, Kyle Yorlets, was shot and killed in Nashville, Tenn., where the 24-year-old was following a dream of being a singer-songwriter.

Haley faces more surgery and a long covalence, but it appears she escaped any long-term brain injury.

Most immediately, Haley will be undergoing jaw surgery to repair a broken temporomandibular joint connecting her jaw to her skull and at her chin, Negley said.

Haley currently requires complete cervical spine immobilization due to unstable skull fracture that may require surgery in the near future, Negley added.

Haley also faces both occupational and physical therapy rehabilitation that will continue even when she goes home.

At present, Haley is “unable to use her arms, more so her right, which is her dominant hand, and it’s frustrating her very much so,” Negley said.

Haley, who loves school, will be forced to miss a month or more of classes at at Oak Flat Elementary School, said her mother, a Penn Township resident. As a result, Haley has told her mom she’d love hearing from anyone interested in dropping her a get-well card to cheer up a very ill little girl.

“One thing she really asked for was cards,” her mom said. “Anyone anywhere can send cards. It puts a smile on her otherwise sad face.”

The address is: Haley Detman, 2560 Walnut Bottom Road, Carlisle PA 17015
