Boy's head impaled by skewer after yellowjacket attack, and he's doing just fine

Xavier Cunningham, age 10 of Kansas City, Kansas, was climbing up to a tree house when yellow jackets attacked. Cunningham fell several feet from the ladder and impaled his head on a meat skewer. University of Kansas surgeons removed the skewer during a several hour operation. Cunningham is doing quite well and expected to be released in a few days. From Fox4KC:


“He was more upset about the yellow jackets than he was about the metal piece sticking out of his face,” (Cunnigham’s dad Shannon) Miller said.


“It missed his brain. It missed his brain stem. It missed the nerves, everything that`s valuable in your head. It missed everything,” Xavier’s dad said…


“Only God could have directed things to happen in a way that would save him like this,” he said. “It really was a miracle.”
