Keys lodge in toddlers eye

The ordeal for 20-month-old Nicholas Holderman from Perryville, Kentucky, began when he fell on his parents car keys in a freak accident.

Doctors initially believed Nicholas’s right eye had been ruptured, but medics were able to remove the key during surgery without him suffering any damage to his brain.

Poor little guy fell down on his parents keys with one piercing his eye and going into his brain. He has since completely recovered with no ill effects. Amazing pictures in the article.

You can't even begin to imagine what horror stories your mind dredges up when you have children! Don't let that stop you though. They're what makes the world go round.

On topic - Thank God there was no brain damage. He is a very fortunate little boy.

I'll bet the mind dredges up some pretty weird things to worry about when you have kids. And yes, thank God there was no lasting damage.

Thank God for small miracles


I'm glad to hear some good news these days with all that is going on in the world.
