I was carrying my toddler when I was impaled by a rusty garden rake, paramedics were horrified – I’m still in pain today

A MUM carrying her toddler through the garden barefoot has issued a warning after she ended up in hospital with a rake impaled through her foot.

Mary Doyon was enjoying a casual chat with her next-door neighbour in the sunshine moments before the shocking incident unfolded.

The 26-year-old was carrying her two-year-old son, Odin, when she stepped on an old garden rake.

Instead of swinging up to hit her in the face, cartoon-like – as she predicted – it went straight through the right side of her foot, becoming deeply lodged.

Mary shared the shocking photos in a TikTok which has racked up over 23million views.

Mary, a stay-at-home mum and children’s book author from Houston, Texas, said: “I had my son in my arms so I was worried about him and got him to safety.
