The five-year-old boy thrown from the third floor of the Mall of America is amazing his doctors.
According to Mac Hammond, a pastor at the family's church, the boy recently underwent a five-hour MRI test. FOX 9 obtained a video of Pastor Hammond's Easter service in which he provides an update on the boy's condition.
"There was zero evidence of brain damage - there wasn't even swelling," Hammond said. "No spinal chord injury, no nerve damage, no internal injuries that were life-threatening."
Hammond said that the boy did suffer several broken bones.
The pastor also said a doctor compared the boy's injuries to falling off a bicycle rather than falling three stories.

Thanks.
Good photo of the distance third floor to first floor at the Mall...I would guess about 40 feet...
Some gravity pulled something.
I know...Read post #25....
“....Emmanuel Aranda, 24, ....”
Name doesn’t look very Somali!
Why are people saying he is?
The last thing I saw was he was basically a mental patient. Now at 24 years old of the age where he can’t be forced to be under supervision or take his drugs. There is a lot of that! Think VT killer!
There’s a note at end of story the family gave permission.
The mother immediately asked bystanders to pray.
Quite a miracle. Yet another reason for MSM to ignore.
Do not put the Lord to the test.
What I’m doing is trusting the Lord. And he has been faithful. Putting him to the test would be jumping out of a plane without a parachute. I’m doing nothing like that.
Emmanuel Aranda? A Somali moslem?
Which is it? Or is Aranda a common Somali name? is he in the country legally? Home grown? MS-13? A white Hispanic? A obama refugee? A Klan member?
If the media actually, oh I dunno, reported news, we’d know the truth and wouldn’t be guessing and potentially spreading rumors worse than the truth.
Praise God! I’ve been praying for this little guy.
Now to see if the miracle really happens and the child wakes up, fully
Still skeptical he escaped DAI
Because the media is lying to us.
How do we know they are lying?
Their lips are moving.
When their lips aren't moving, they aren't lying, the are concealing the truth.
I expect he got the medical news from the family, who likely authorized him to provide the update to the congregation. That would not be a violation of “patient privacy”.
Two boys were just ran over deliberately... when will mothers get mad and call these attacks what they are.
Every college that has spoken of white privilege should be punished for incitement. If these men had used guns, there would be outrage.
The very first thing his mother said was to pray. I have been and I’m sure millions of others have too. Thanks be to God!
It is quite unbelievable that someone thrown (and with force) from that great distance onto a concrete floor would suffer no spinal or brain damage.
So if this story is true it really is an unbelievable honest to God miracle.
I have heard that only 50% survive a 3 story fall. Miracle indeed.
I’ve heard of infants surviving such. It’s less a miracle than the fact they are relaxed all the way down.
This kid’s a little old to be an infant, though.
you guessed pretty correctly. 39 feet

“FOX 9 obtained a 2018 missing person report filed by Aranda’s family in which his sister describes the now 24-year-old as a vulnerable adult suffering from “mild neurocognitive disorder.” She noted he is able to care for himself, but needs assistance with some things. “
“My wife and I have two miraculous healings in our lives. And we know others that have experienced the same. God is more involved than people think. It’s why, at 65, we have no health care insurance. He is faithful. He is the great healer.”
Yep. It’s amazing to see how many elderly people become focused on their own mortality and frailty, when they could be free of such fears.
