The other day we discovered Avery broke a random key off in the tractor ignition in an attempt to start it. Even though we are all (including his counselor) still in awe of the strength it took to do so, he wound up in a heap of trouble for breaking the tractor.
Shawn and Noah replaced the ignition switch, but the mower still wouldn't start. They fiddled and they faddled, I think Noah might've sworn under his breath more than Shawn swore out loud (I didn't keep track). It still wouldn't start.
Shawn finally just started pulling parts out of the tractor and inspecting them, piece by piece.
A fuse. Halfway in, he pulled out a blown fail-safe fuse.
When Avery cranked that random key as hard as he could, this fuse blew, no doubt, saving his life.
When Shawn went to replace it, it was about $2.
A two dollar fuse saved Avery's life from all the electricity that would have flowed through that random key and into his body.
Seizures aside, this kid has got angels. Exhausted ones for sure.
Someone remind me to leave some wine on the doorstep for them.
Only God can keep these kids safe (from themselves...and us!) 😂
