Alex went outside

Alex went out side for a few minutes today. Since it was overcast they thought it would be a good thing (there wasnt the fear of the sun hurting him) When we got outside we looked to the east and saw the most beautiful rainbow.  Last time he was outside there was a rainbow. Thats a good sign. He will go into surgery Monday October 18th at 1:00pm.  He will be in the great hands of skilled surgeons and have all the prayers you all have offered.  They might transfer him to the Burn Unit tomorrow after the surgery, if they do I will miss the Nurses and Techs here in the PICU.  They are SO wonderful, and have all gone above and beyond the call of duty to heal Alex and keep him comfortable.  Thank you!!

  1. My husband and I have never met Alex or Dane, or either of your families... but you both have been constantly in our prayers since we heard the news. I'm a former "Warrior" and my brother went to school with both of you last year. You have truly been an inspiration to so many people without even meaning too! :) You are so strong willed and amazing young men! Best of luck tomorrow Alex with your grafts!
