3-year-old Darnal Mundy II had accidentally shot himself in the head. No one thought he would survive. But now, save for some scars on his face and head and little problem with control of his right side (which can be corrected with therapy), he is perfectly hale and hearty.
Darnal had gotten out of his parents’ bed, climbed a chair in front of his dad’s dresser, opened the top drawer, grabbed a gun and shot himself in the face. His parents who were sleeping were startled out of sleep by the sound of the gunshot, only to find that their little man wasn’t by their side and was lying on the floor.
They had rushed him to Holtz Children’s Hospital. There, the CAt scan showed a large blood clot and swelling in the brain. The had a gunshot wound was to the center of his head and the bullet had exited in the back left side.
Doctors surgically removed the left side of his skull to allow for swelling and to protect the part of the brain that was untouched by the bullet.
He spent three weeks in a coma, and was barely responsive when he woke up With at least three hours at the rehabilitation hospital, he has learned how to breathe on his own again and slowly started talking and walking. His feeding tube has also been removed.
After three month of the shooting, Darnal, who will be celebrating his 4th birthday, on Saturday will be going home soon. His mum said they still keep a gun in the house for personal protection, but they’re making sure it is locked up in a safe, out of Darnal’s reach.
