If you could say a little prayer and sprinkle some pixie dust for my son I sure would appreciate it.
He was working on a car today and the coolant exploded out and burned him on his face, chest, arms. They took him by ambulance to the hospital. He is a mechanic and knows how to handle working on cars.
I am out of town on business and will be trying to fly out in the morning. Thank goodness for cell phones. My daughter and his girlfriend are with him at the hospital.
Thank you everyone.
UPDATE- SAT. evening
I got the chance to talk with him this evening. He has 2nd degree burns on his face, arms, chest. He is shivering from the burns. They have been giving him morphine but he says it doesn't seem to help the pain.
He said he apologized to the ambulance crew for making them come to the scene. He didn't want a fuss made. They are going to keep him for a few more hours and see how he is. If they release him he will have to go back and have his bandages changed for awhile.
I have to call the airline in the morning about a standby seat but I feel better having talked with him. He will be off work for awhile but thankfully it could have been much worse.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It really does help.

He'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help out.
