What an amazing story to read, I don't know all the details, as I seemed to have missed these threads, but is Eddie your son, I remember you telling me about the explosion which burnt him badly when I posted pics of my niece's foot.

I am so happy to hear that Eddie has made such marvellous progress and that he has such an inspiring woman Regina to help him through all this, this must be a really tough time for you all, but to read your story is simply wonderful, HUGS to everyone, and I hope all continues as good and Eddie continues to make such progress, thinking of you all and wishing only the best for all of you..

Yes Carole, Eddie is my son, he is 43 years old. By all rights, people do not survive the degree of burns that he had. So many nurses have told us that, but he has amazed them all from the very beginning. Regina said that when he goes out walking, the nurses stop and cheer him on because they know he should not be here. Sentera Norfolk General and their burn unite has done miracles with him as has all the prayers from all over the world. To physically describe the extent of his burns, he was burned, front and back from his knees up to (and including) his neck. The explosion blew him into a brick wall about 2 feet behind him and that allowed the fire to encase him, front and back. Had that wall not been there, he would not have been burned so badly. It melted the screwdriver he had in his hand and the blackberry (communications device) he had on his hip. Safety glasses saved his eyes.

How is you foot anyway? I know it is taking a whole lot of specialized care so how is it doing?

Oh Laura, I'm so happy for you (and Eddie & Regina)! This is wonderful news and I'm so happy he's getting stronger and has this amazing will. Go Eddie!!

Great news! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Love, Kelly

Oh my gosh Eddie truely is a miracle isn't he?just reading the story brought me to tears, your son is a real survivor, i can only imagine what you and he have been through, it was my niece who had the burnt foot, and she is doing very well so far thanks,her experience has been bad enough,but what your son has had to endure is beyond comprehension.

He is amazing, you must be so proud, I just wish you all the very best and as a mother myself I know you have been to hell and back watching him through this ordeal, HUGE HUGS to everyone.
