MINNESOTA -- 2-year-old Teagan Gislason's curiosity sent her to the hospital.

She accidentally drove a screwdriver through her eye and into her brain.

Gislason found the screwdriver in a room away from her parents at church.

Moments later an adult saw the child with the screwdriver sticking out of her eye.

She was taken to the Mayo Clinic where she underwent four hours of surgery. An X-Ray showed that the screwdriver had gone about four inches into her brain.

A week of recovery and she is back home in Farmington with a very good prognosis.
