Thankfully her mom is a nurse manager at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, so he was quickly brought into a trauma bay for surgery.
Since elf rules state that sam cannot be touched, the team secured a pair of special operating gloves directly from Santa.
In the end, Sam was all patched up and was even treated with magic medical glitter.
