Shark attack victim infected
Hannah Foster bit by shark at Jax Beach SNELVILLE, GA.-- The Snelville, GA teen attacked by a shark on Jacksonville Beach is having a difficult recovery.
Monday she visited an Atlanta area doctor, after finding out Saturday her wound is infected. Foster had 29 stitches after the attack.
Foster was visiting her aunt's house in Jacksonivlle Beach Thursday. She was boogie boarding with her boyfriend about 40 yards off our coast when a shark chomped down on her foot and leg.
Action News' Kristen Cosby was the first reporter to interview Foster.
Monday, she shared her story on the CBS Early Show
"I could kind of feel all the teeth inside my skin," said Foster. "Nothing short of freaking out. I was so scared."
While Foster had swore off the ocean, her mom tells Action News she already has another beach trip planned in two weeks.
Doctors say it will be about six weeks before Foster is able to walk around again. Tuesday Foster is visiting a specialist to help heal her infection.
