Days after a dangerous run in with a cold blooded reptile, a metro woman is back home, and back on her feet.
She's now struggling through her first steps, but she's lucky to be walking at all.
Her name's Kristie Patton, but your daughter may know her as Ariel, Cinderella, or Elsa.
"I do princess parties, for little girl's birthdays," she explained.
These days though, her focus is off prince charming, and more on snake charming.
It all started last week outside her parent's home...
"I literally took two steps out of the front door, then felt the most excruciating pain on my left foot," she said. "Saw the snake (on the porch)."
Not just any snake, officials agree it appears she was bit by a copperhead snake.
Soon Katie was rushed from home, to the hospital, to ICU.
Doctors moved quickly, administering much needed anti-venom, as Katie blacked out.
"By the time I got to the hospital it went from being normal, to about 2-3 times the size of my foot," she said. "I was automatically thinking the worst, of what could happen."
Today she's back home, back on her feet, and sounding the alarm on the danger that lay in the shadows, and quite possibly in Oklahoma City.
Yeah, you read that right. She's pretends to be a Disney princess at kids birthday parties. I wonder what the ER doctors thought when they saw Elsa walking through the door.
