Woman recovers at Gaylord in Wallingford after fall that partially paralyzed her

September 21, 2019 05:15PM By Bailey Wright, Record-Journal staff WALLINGFORD — When Kayla Carbaugh first woke in a hospital in Turkey she remembered being on the wall of an archeological site and then being on the ground near the wall. She didn’t remember the fall that paralyzed the 20-year-old from the waist down.  Carbaugh, who had just graduated from Lancaster Bible College in Pennsylvania, was on a school trip tracing the missionary journey of Paul, one of the Twelve Apostles.  While climbing around an archeological site, she fell 8 feet headfirst onto solid rock. “My foot just slid out ... I just didn’t have a good footing,” Carbaugh said.  Her back was broken, she couldn’t move her legs, she had several broken ribs, a head wound that needed seven staples and her lungs were bleeding.
