A Missouri father said his 10-year-old son was lucky to be alive after the child had been impaled by a 12-inch metal meat skewer when he fell from a hut in the trees.
Xavier Cunningham was riding in a cabin with his friends Saturday in Harrisonville when a swarm of yellow jackets began to attack them, said his father Shannon Miller at WDAF-TV. Xavier, while being bombarded by the wasps, fell 4 feet down the ladder to the ground, landing first on a meat skewer coming out of the ground.
Shannon Miller said it was a miracle that her son survived the fall and that his face was pierced by a skewer.

"He could have run out of blood in this field, covered in yellow jackets," Miller said of his son. "He was more upset by the yellow jackets than the piece of metal sticking out of his face."
THE PATIENT DEVELOPS THE "BLACK BLACK LANGUAGE" OF MEDICINES
The skewer punched Xavier's face and almost crossed his head. But he managed to miss his brain, said the father.
"He missed his brain, he missed his brainstem, he missed the nerves, all the precious things in your head, he missed everything," said Miller.

Xavier was taken to the University of Kansas Hospital, where a team of surgeons operated on Sunday and managed to remove the skewer. Miller said the family prayed while they waited hours for the operation to end.

"I said," I'm just plugging in, I know you have a plan, "Miller said." All I remember, is laughing, crying and screaming. # 39; encourage. Just the support of my friends and family, it was powerful. "

Miller said his surviving son to the pain test "was really a miracle".
On Monday, Xavier was already on his hospital bed playing his Xbox and joking with his family. He should be released in the next few days.
