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?
