Carlson, describing the shark attack, said, "It felt like a tugging feeling, which was weird. It felt like I was playing tug of war a little bit." This bizarre sensation occurred during the terrifying moments of her leg being bitten off.
"As soon as they pulled her up, I knew right then and there I was going to have to do everything I could to save her life," said her mother, revealing the extent of Annabelle's injuries.
Her mother described the aftermath, stating, "All the soft tissue from her knee to her ankle was gone, and it was just her tibia and fibula. I wasn't sure she was going to make it because she was sheet white."
Carlson's struggle included undergoing seven surgeries over four months and battling a bacterial infection following the attack, highlighting both the physical and emotional toll of the experience.
