Bad News

Post by OlympicMtDoo »

I'm a bit in shock right now, need some good thoughts sent a young mans way, he is in Harbor View trama center in Seattle right now fighting for his life. My Grandson and two of his buddies were house sitting for his Grandmother (my ex) and somehow burned the house down last night. My Grandson and one of his buddies had gone to the store and when they got back the whole house was in flames, they called 911 and went in after the other kid when they were overtaken by smoke and flames. Long story short, the fire fighters got the boy out and he is now fighting for life in Harbor View, I pretty much raised my Grandson and the young man in trouble is like a second Grandson to me, he has helpd ware out a couple of my dirt bikes, broken several of my fishing poles and help lose a ton of my fishing gear. A few good thoughts from the gang just might help.

Damn, thoughts and healing mojo sent his way, I sure hope they don't find a half melted still in there when they clean it up.

Wow what sad news, the good thoughts I can send is that Harbor View burn center is one of the best in the world so if anyone can do good for the young man I believe it's them.

Thanks Guys, The boy still hasn't came to yet, looks like I'm lookin after grandkids while two of my daughters are back and forth to Harbor View. He has some pretty bad burns, but as BM said Harborview is supposed to be the best burn center there is, I spend about a month at Harbor View myself, not in the burn center but in the non walking ward, when I got crushed falling timber in Alaska many years ago and they treated me pretty damn good so all I can do now is hope.

Thanks guys for all the good wishes, news about the boy is slow, he is still out, all I know is that most of his torso one whole arm, half the other and half of his face are burned, just makes me sick for such a young man, but at least he is young and strong, my Grandson is a wreck too just waiting for his best friend to live or die, just wish there was anything that I could do. Thanks again to all

Thanks to everyone for the good words and thoughts, it somehow helps to know that we all stick together and care about each other in difficult times. I think we as humans are a pretty good lot for the most part and it does a heart good to know that our little HD group has it's share of really good folks. Thanks again for all the good wishes. OMD
