An x-ray shows the screw partially embedded between the two halves of Darius Foreman's brain.

Dr. Shenandoah Robinson (left), a neurosurgeon, cut the board off Foreman's head with the help of nurse John Mullen (right) before her neurosurgeon husband, Dr. Alan Cohen, removed the screw.

Foreman was conscious the entire time before the operation, Cohen said.

The screw removed from Foreman's skull. The doctors gave it to him as a keepsake.

Foreman is expected to make a full recovery, Cohen told CNN.

Foreman received gifts as he was discharged on Thursday -- coincidentally, his 13th birthday.
