Internal Decapitation

These are some morning shadows from my garden one morning:



At the drugstore, I saw the newly retired church secretary.  I asked how she was doing in retirement.
She said she was busier than she ever was.  She was helping out with a wedding in the younger generation and was heading out to help with the upcoming church craft sale.  She helped both my kids with Holy Communion lessons when they were little.  Well, I think I also attended the classes with them.

I happened upon this news story from Australia.  This little boy was in a terrible car accident where his neck was broken.  Doctors called it an internal decapitation where the child's head was pulled away from his neck but miraculously his spinal cord was intact.  'The surgical team reattached Jackson’s vertebrae with wire and a bone graft. The tot will wear a medical halo for the next eight weeks as his neck heals'.  What a talented surgeon and a lucky boy.
