SMOKEY POINT, Wash. -- A Smokey Point boy is hospitalized with a broken neck and is in intensive care after falling from a second-floor window, the boy's family told KIRO-7.The 10-year-old boy, Sam Thomason, fell from the window of his home at about 7 p.m. Wednesday on 188th Street Northeast, said his family.The family said Thomason was playing with his siblings in an upstairs bedroom next to an open window when he fell out. “Next thing I know I saw something kind of fall. And I looked out and saw limbs and I ran out here. I don't know how he landed, but he was laying on his right side, kind of half way crumpled up and going into shock,” said Thomason’s mother Tae Wells.When the boy's mother saw him unresponsive on the ground, she performed CPR and he began breathing again.The boy was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center where he remains in critical condition.Doctors fear he might not walk again, but his family said he moved his toes Thursday. “He's a little fireball, he's a fighter. He's been clawing for every inch he can. Now he's got feeling in his limbs and he wiggled his toes for us. So he's going to fight to be bouncing off the walls again pretty soon,” said Thomason’s dad Dustin Labrasseur.Wells said never before had they worried that one of the children would fall out a window, now they are going to talk to their landlord about covering up the windows.
