In this June 14, 2019 photo provided by The University of Kansas Health System, 15-year-old Eli Gregg, right, recovers in the hospital bed in Kansas City, Kan., as his mother Jimmy Russell watches after doctors removed a 10" knife that impaled his face when he fell while playing. The 15-year-old Kansas boy is recovering days after doctors removed a 10" knife that impaled his face when he fell while playing. Gregg's harrowing experience began late Thursday, June 13, 2019, when he was playing outside his home in Redfield, about 11 miles from Fort Scott in southeast Kansas. The knife was embedded into his skull, extending to the underside of the brain. The tip of it had indented the carotid artery, the major artery which supplies blood to the brain. Surgeons at The University of Kansas Health System removed it Friday morning. Eli is expected to be able to go home Monday and should recover fully.
