Here's the latest on Horny's progress. GoFundMe
This update is by far the best update I’ve been able to give.
Todd is not only out of the ICU, but also out of the hospital completely. The word miraculous is usually what I begin with when describing his current condition to those who’ve asked me about it. To be clear, he is still undergoing treatment for his injuries at the hospital daily. The medical staff did feel that he progressed enough for him to move into the Fischer house nearby the hospital where he can walk daily (yes I said walk) for his treatment.
I had another opportunity to visit with him recently and he was far more coherent and alert than my first visit to the ICU. His injuries were visibly better and his spirits were high. My friend was finally back…cracking jokes, inhaling Salisbury Steaks, and enjoying cherry limeades. That was so wonderful to see. He related to me how thankful he was for all of the support he and his family have been given and how touched he was by the outreach of so many on his behalf.
Of course, he still has a long way to go with treating his injuries and his daily rehabilitation exercises but to say he has come a long way in a short time would be an major understatement. Keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming though and know that they are indeed helping him heal.
This will be my last update on this site. I think rather soon you’ll all be able to reach out to Todd directly and he can tell you in his own words just how great he’s doing!

As a result he suffered burns over half of his body and faces a long, hard road to recovery. His daughter is expected to spend several weeks in the hospital but is stable. I'm sure many of you know Horny and know he's a great guy. Even though he's out on mil leave there will be many unforeseen expenses. A FundMe site has been set up to help the family. Links below have more information about the accident and a way to throw a couple of bucks their way.

I haven't heard any updates on his daughter, is she doing well? I know her injuries weren't too bad, thanks to Todd. I hope she's doing well.

"She's doing great. She had minor burns that were expected to fully recover. Doesn't seem to have any emotional distress either at this point. Brave little girl"
