(Undated) — A toddler in China is expected to make a full recovery despite shoving a chopstick up his nose and into his brain. According to the “Daily Star,” the two-year-old’s dad says he heard his son screaming and turned around to see the utensil had gone into his head. Surgeons said the stick penetrated nearly three inches into the child’s brain, but miraculously avoided damaging any major nerves or arteries. After four hours in surgery, the chopstick was successfully removed and the little guy is said to be recovering well in the hospital.
