Oh Laura...lots of hugs and prayers being sent your way, sweetie. (((((HUGS))))))

It must have been so great to be able to see your son's eyes and see him be able to respond.

Hugs, Kelly

Laura, We all know it's going to be tough to get through this, but if any family can, it sounds like yours can, and will. I'm so glad to hear Eddie is more alert, and he knows his family is with him. ;) Still praying for Eddie, and the rest of your family, and will continue to. I can't wait to hear some more happy news from you. (((HUGS)))!

Kevlin and Rhonda are on their way and should be in sometime today!

Nothing much is happening with Eddie today. Whoever told Regina that he was scheduled for surgery today told her wrong. Things are still about the same, meaning, no setbacks.

I told Marie today that our prayers now should be for progress to continue going forward with NO setbacks!! Each day is a miracle!

Someone from his work told us yesterday that as a result of this, they are now looking into getting fire retardand clothing for these guys to wear to work. That is a great thing and it may save someone else from ever being burned this bad.

Keep the prayers coming!!

More prayers on the way.I will keep it up.

Kevlin and Rhonda arrived yesterday around 4 pm. Shortely after he got here, he got a call, his Dad was put in the hospital for a possiable spider bite.. DARN! This family is catching is right and left these days for some reason... believe me, this is highly unusual for us.

Rie caught her airplane back home this morning and I will miss her for sure!

Eddie is off the resperator now and they said next to go will be the feeding tube. Looks like his deep coma is over with dispite what they told us earlier. He is responding to us a lot now but our concern is how much pain he is in and if he is suffering. He has to nod "yes" to the question "are you in pain" before they will give him more and heris PO'ed and stubborn and won't nod for them. He got highly upset when they told Regina she HAD to leave last night. I know his mind is foggy and he is so confused and don't understand what is happening and why he can't talk..

Oh my gosh Laura, if it doesn't rain, it pours.

How much more can one family endure.:( I pray that Kelvin's Dad will be okay.

This must be so hard on Eddie, not understanding what is going on. Hopefully in a short time he realize what had happened.

All of you are still in my prayers.

Thanks for updating us when you can Laura.

Prayers still coming for all of your family, Laura. ((((((((HUGS)))))))

Positive thoughts and many prayers continue for EVERYONE

Ok, the news is GREAT, he gets food tomorrow! He has been awake and very talkitive today even making a sad, frowning face when I told him Kevlin had left this morning. He pulled a joke on Kevlin yesterday even.. His eyes are clearing and as each minute passes, I see more and more of my beautiful brown eyes boy there!!

His supervisor called yesterday to tell us the story of when it happened and the heros, that saved Eddies life. After the explosion, Eddie walked down a hallway ON FIRE saying "Help me, I am on fire!". These men, jumped up and ran to him, throwing him to the floor, pounding out the fire with their hands, burning their hands and ripping his burning clothes off of him and poured water on him to cool him down. The explosion set the building on fire so it had to be evacuated but these men refused to leave him telling the people and fire department that they would not leave the building without him.. These men stayed in that burning building with Eddie until the EMT's came and took him out.. Then they said, they didn't do anything special....:eek: These guys are HEROS to those of us who love Eddie and we sure hope we get to see them very soon!!

Wow... what a story. Those men ARE heros. I have goosbumps reading what they did. They are special human beongs and will be rewarded in life beyond their dreams for their act of selflessness and love.

I am so happy to hear about his progress. It must be excruciating to see him in this condition.

Oh Laura, what wonderful news. I hope Eddie isn't in too much pain. I am so glad that you are able to be with him. He sounds like a very strong person. Already pulling jokes, he sounds like one super duper guy.

I hope that you do get to meet these Heros who saved your sons life. To stay with him regardless of the building being on fire, is without a doubt, Heroism is my books.

Prayers and Hugs for you and your family.

Oh, Laura! It's so good to hear of Eddie's progress. Maybe it's better that he doesn't remember the explosion at least for now. I was so moved hearing about the men who helped Eddie then refused to leave a dangerous situation until Eddie was safely taken out. They truly are angels among us! Our prayers continue for you, Eddie, and your family. There's no doubt that prayers of thanks are in order for those brave, caring gentlemen that risked so much to ensure Eddie's safety. What goes around, comes around. God will reward them. May God continue to bless all of you and continue to show his infinite mercy. Special prayers for your heros!!!!!

You must be elated Laura! That's such great news that Eddie is joking around after such bad burns to him. You have a strong family that's for sure. :eek: ;) And the men who risked their own lives to pull Eddie out are most certainly heros IMO! :) Thanks for such an uplifting update, and I'm still praying for Eddie and your family. (((HUGS))) Jan

Laura, that story is amazing, and yes those men are not only heros, but ANGELS as well! I am so thankful to read of Eddie's remarkable progress!
