OK.. question here. How exactly does one 'wake up injured'......????

I suppose he was left for dead due to an attack while they slept.

It said the boy was injured trying to protect his grandmother; he must have blacked up and then woke up to call for help. My prayers for him, such a horrible thing..

God bless him and his family, he may grow up to be a preacher one day..

What a brave little boy. Such a horrific thing to go through, and now he's going to miss his Grandmom. I believe him that there was divine intervention.
