THE NEWTON VERSION OF ASH WEDNESDAY




















































Here are pictures of Zach's burns and the fire damage in the garage. We feel extremely blessed that the fire wasn't worse and even more importantly that Zach's injuries weren't worse. I don't know if you can tell but the hoodie that zach was wearing saved him from recieving 3rd degree burns on his abdomen. He had light scorch marks on the sleeves of the hoodie that he put out when he rolled in the snow. He could have had burns over 50% of his body instead of 20%.
Recovery will be about a month, and right now he has to go into wound care at the hospital every day to have the burns cleaned and redressed. This is exremely painful and he takes a strong narctic about an hour before going in. Even then he's in a lot of pain.
Thank you all for your kinds words, love and support. What else is family for eh?
