On New Years eve a 17 year old I have known for years, a neighbor kid half mile away was badly burned in a cabin fire..
3rd degree over 90% of his body. He is in University of Iowa hospital's burn unit.
Currently they are working daily to remove dead skin and flesh, only doing what his body will stand each day. The goal is for him to get stable enough
to be moved to a Shriners burn hospital as soon as he is stable enough for a private jet flight. We were hoping Houston Tx would be the place as the facility in Ohio is currently full. Yesterday it is looking like Boston might be the first available.
Harley is a tough kid with an an iron will and great character. Our whole community is stunned at what has happened. He has a friend who was his hero that night, and woke up and drug Harley out of the cabin or else he would not have survived.
In all my years I don't think I have shed this many tears since the death of my twin brother in 1981. We all have our stories, we all have pain in our lives that are not in our control.
This one hurts the most as this young man has his entire life before him......
I forgot to mention this in this mornings post. Please pray for a farm kid here named Harley McDonald.
