Survivor's Hope

Hi Tina

I am so sorry to hear about your sons accident.
As you just mentioned, everyone recovery and healing is different. No one knows the outcome and you just have to believe that we have an awesome God that we can trust and ask Him for miracles. Dont loose hope. Pray.

Blessings
Tony

My Son had 3 Degree burns neck, arms chest and under arm due to Athonal Fireplace explosed, 2 degree in lower face and ear. After about 1 month in the hospital with Skin Grafting now is going through Rehab and Physio. I now that everyone if different of recovery but just wonder will he be back normal as the way he was before the accident. My heart is torning, wishes that I could make it right for him.

Tony, I am stunned how strong you have always been. I have just read your story and it surely proves that you are an incredible person. God bless you and all other survivors!

God bless and she will be in our prayers. I encourage you to share her story on our website and include your feedback about our mission too. This way together we can encourage and give hope to more people in need.

Thanks Tony, for your reply . It means a lot to me.
In the right half of the body , it is 3rd degree burn but elsewhere it is 1st degree or 2nd degree.
Doctors are saying that swelling is reducing from the face and other parts of the body.
She was caught in the fire inside the house and could get out.

I really appreciate the initiative you have taken. It gives a lot of courage to others.
Please pray with me for my aunt.

I am very sorry to hear about your family members burn.
One of the best doctors in US is Grossman burn center. This is where I got treated. They are very professional and nice too.
As far a precautions,......I am not qualified to give medical advise, but I can tell you that if she is responding to you and drinking
coconut juice, that is awesome but in the mean time I can tell you that with 90% burns, she must be in a very critical condition and I dont even know how she is not in an induced comma. In my case, I was put into an induced comma for 3 months. She must be in a tremendous
amount of pain. Are her burns superficial like 1st degree or deeper? How was she burned?

Message: Hi Tony, I read your story and it really inspires me. One of my family member is also 90% burn due to fire. Doctors say that there is less probability of surviving.So,I searched on it and found you.Right now, She is speaking with us, drinking coconut water,understanding what we are saying. Tony, I am from India. Can you help us like giving contact of best doctor or any precaution measure. Any kind of help will be appreciated. Please reply to my mail as soon as possible. I am waiting for your response.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi

I think everyone's case is different but I can tell you that I sweat even more now than before, and I have full thickness grafts over 95% of my body.
Hope this helps

My brother was caught on fire by a powerline and has 3rd degree burns on 26% of his body. He is an active physical guy my question is will he be able to sweat again in the areas that were full thickness burns?

Thank you Ian. And yes, it has changed my life for the better. Today, I focus on my family and helping others in need and that is just a blessing.

As horrific as your injuries were, I would assume in a bizarre way, this accident has changed your life for the better?! Such a great story, to come back from that and be able to get on with your life is such a wonderful thing to hear! I'm so pleased for you and your family!

I'm not a religious person, but nature was sure looking out for! Obviously you had to endure that horrible time, but to come out the other side in such good shape, considering how bad that was, is just an amazing story!

Good luck with the website and may life bring you much happiness! :)

Hi Jessica. You're most welcome. We have been working very hard for building and growing this website exactly for this reason. We want burn survivors and even other survivors of tragedies to feel comfortable and feel like they are loved and welcome. By sharing our stories, we can become a hope in someone’s life and isn’t that just an awesome thing to do? Together, we can make the impossible become possible. Tony

I've been looking everywhere for a support group i couldn't find one until i looked up the word hope and burn surviors and it lead me straight to this website!! I actually was looking for a photo for my burn surviors and support group on Facebook when i ran into this. I just wanted to let you know that i'm thankful for what your doing. I've been looking for a place that i can just tell my story and inspire others like you've inspired others. So Thank You very much ^.^

Wow! That's a ralely neat answer!

HOPE is the best you can have. Never loose it.

Thanx a lot for your reply. itsbeen alomost 4-5 days now since that incident happened. the Doctors say that his condition is stable - neither improved nor detoriated. So we all have a ray of hope. Lets hope for the best

Dear Shika
This is a very serious injury and by loosing most of the bodies protection chances of survival are up to God.
Neither I nor anyone can tell you an answer to this question. All I can say is to pray and hope for the best.
We will do the same for him also. Please keep in touch.

My cousin brother, who is 31 yrs old, has got 90% burns in his body. his burns is due to the chemical acid which come oer his body whille working. we are staying in Bombay, India. i just wanted to know whether there r chances of survival in his case

Thank you for contacting me and your kind words. I am very sorry to hear about your friends husband and I also know first hand how hard it is on the victim and specially the family members at this time. he will be in our prayers and with Gods help he will not only
become a survivors, but also an over comer.

You give hope!
Message: Hey man I just wanted to say that you give hope more than you may know! I just found out that that a good friend of mine's husband just had an accident at work...he is right around the same age as you were when you had your accident ( maybe a year or two younger)...fell into a vat of liquid that was over 300 degrees and has 90% of his body covered in 3rd degree burns. He is currently in a coma but I believe I heard that he may have just started breathing on his own. He married his high school sweetheart and they have 1 son. I just wanted to say that you have proven that it is possible to not only survive such an event...rather that you can come out and start living life again. Thank you for your inspiration brother!
