2-year-old Wren Bowell of Bath, England fell on a pencil that pierced her eye socket and plunged over 1.5 inches into her skull.

Neurosurgeons had to remove parts of her face and skull to get the pencil out. She was very lucky that the pencil missed her eye.

"It was extremely close to having damaged the blood vessel but fortunately she was very lucky and it had not burst the blood vessel, so she did not have a big amount of bleeding in the brain," her father says. She is expected to fully recover.
