A Farmington family enjoyed a
particularly merry Christmas this year(dec 07),
with their 2-year-old daughter home and relatively unharmed
less than a week after she stabbed herself in the eye with a screwdriver.
Teagan Gislason returned home on Christmas
Eve after nearly a week at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
Her father, Neil Gislason, said that she hurt herself
near the end of a church service at St. Paul's Lutheran in Cannon Falls.
He was with his three daughters at the church when Teagan,
who he wandered into a room where
children have adult supervision during the church service.
The girl found a screwdriver, he said,
and another adult saw it sticking out of her left eye.
An x-ray showed the screwdriver penetrated her eye socket,
five centimeters into her brain. Doctors took four hours to remove it.
A week later, Teagan is home with her family.
Her vision appears to be fine,
and her only mark is a scar on her eyelid.
"She's our Christmas miracle," said Katie Gislason, Teagan's mother.
