SA girl Marigold Jessie McCallum spends 10 days in ICU after falling from Bali villa treehouse on holiday

Four-year-old’s parents reveal their brave little girl’s “traumatic” ICU fight after being rushed home to Australia with a serious head injury from treehouse fall.

Marigold Jessie McCallum is recovering in an Adelaide hospital after a freak fall in Bali.

A four-year-old Australian girl is recovering after her family’s Bali holiday turned into a nightmare when she fell from a treehouse at their accommodation last month.

South Australia’s Marigold Jessie McCallum suffered a fractured skull and internal bleeding, and had to undergo emergency surgery to alleviate pressure on her brain.

She was flown back to Adelaide, where she remained in intensive care at Adelaide’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital for 10 days.

Nick and Carly, Marigold’s parents, provided an update on their daughter’s condition on Thursday, using a GoFundMe set up by Marigold’s aunt, Sophie McInnerney, to share the message.

“Goldie has made some positive progress the past couple of days and we are now out of the ICU and on the neurological ward,” the pair said.

“She is the bravest little girl and we are so proud of her.

“The past 10 days have been horrific and traumatic beyond words, but witnessing how kind and generous our family, friends and wider community have been has been absolutely mind blowing and we will forever be grateful.”

More than $102,000 was raised for the young family through the GoFundMe, which was started on June 21, surpassing the $90,000 goal.

Sophie McInnerney said it was not Marigold’s first time in the hospital, having spent the first 100 days of her life hospitalised after being born prematurely.

The four-year-old’s “incredible fighting (and feisty) spirit” and “brave soul” has been a constant, along with the presence of her parents, Nick and Carly, there to hold her hand through her “long road ahead to recovery”.

The fundraiser description reads, “This experience has and will continue to take its toll on Nick and Carly on so many levels and they are going to need a lot of love and support to get through this.”

Support for Marigold has been ringing in from all around, including the Adelaide Crows who donated a signed guernsey to the family’s local footy club – Booleroo Melrose Wilmington Lions Football Club – with all proceeds going towards her cause.

In an Instagram post, the club said “The BMW Lions family will do whatever we can to support Nick, Carly, Billie and Goldie and wrap our arms around them at this time.”
