SEQUIM — Michael Warner, the 14-year-old Sequim boy shot in the head Friday night in the Lost Mountain area, is on the mend.
Calling it a “real miracle,” Anita Giddings said Wednesday her son’s brush with death was the worst thing a mother could face.
“He’s doing great; he really is,” Giddings said in a phone call from Michael’s hospital room at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Despite two brain surgeries — one in which the boy’s frontal lobe was removed — Michael was sitting up Wednesday, eating ice cream and harassing his 8-year-old brother, Alex, Giddings said.
“It’s like he’s back to his old self,” she said with considerable relief.
