Ok so I know it's been a few days since the last update. He is doing better, He WILL be able to use his leg and arm. There will be lots of scarring though. But I have talked to him a couple of times and he sounds good and is doing good in therapy. He will be having another surgery on Tuesday, I think thats to go in and reclean the wounds and have a plastic surgen in there to see what kind of work he will have to have done. But he is expected to recover well.

There is another thing that I would like to do for them and they don't know about this yet. I would like to start a fund for him but I have no clue how to do this, Does anyone know how to get something like that started? His mom is not able to work right now and her parents can only help so much, They have to pay to stay at the Ronald McDonalds house, So I would love to help them out. Thanks Beth

Just a thought but if he qualifies for Medicaid, they will backdate.  Meaning if he could get on it now they would most likely be able to backdate it to whenever he first had to go into the hospital.  Just an idea.

As far as the Medicaid goes they are working on getting that but that won't help with the mom not working and her bills not being paid. I have no clue where to even start for a fundraiser.

What about going to your church ans talking about cooking ameal for a fundrasier.Like a spaghetti or lasanga meal or even a mexican pile on dinner. Make flyers and put it on the radio station you could make a lot of money. or even a car wash with the weather getting nniver alot of people like to keep there cars clean. Jsut remember to advertise well.
