HARRISONVILLE, MISSOURI — A 10-year-old boy is still kicking after being impaled by a foot-long meat skewer over the weekend. <br />According to the Kansas City Star, Xavier Cunningham fell from a tree house after being attacked by a bunch of yellow jacket wasps on September 8.<br />He then landed on the metal skewer, which went through his face and penetrated his skull, all the way to the back of his head. <br /><br />Xavier was rushed to a local emergency room, then transferred to another hospital, before ending up at the University of Kansas Hospital. <br /><br />Surgeons were amazed that the skewer had missed his eye, brain and spinal cord. <br /><br />In a nerve-racking hours long surgery, the skewer was successfully removed. Xavier is now recovering in the hospital. <br />His family has set up a GoFundMe page called the "Missouri Miracle" to help cover the medical costs.
