Please pray for a traditional Catholic family whose 4 year old boy, Anthony, was burned on 90% of his body on Tuesday morning. Drs give him a 60% chance of survival.
If you are so inclined, here’s a link to a gofundme page. https://tinyurl.com/sn6z7pk7

From the GoFundMe page:
"Today
by James Sirba, Organizer
Good morning! Anthony's second surgery is scheduled for 11:00 this morning. Please be praying for him as they work on removing the dead tissues from his upper torso!"
From yesterday:
"Saturday's surgery (ended up being today) will be focused on his torso and there is a third surgery scheduled on Monday to remove the dead skin from his arms and legs. Please continue to pray for success in these surgeries, for Anthony's doctors and care team and, of course, for his healing. After the surgeries are finished, they will begin the process of grafting skin."
"This will be a long, slow process. As of yesterday, Anthony was swelling quite a lot from the burns. Thankfully, his organs all seem to be holding steady right now, and it sounds like he's breathing a bit more on his own today."
:pray:

Thank you, Seraphina and AMDGJMJ, I was well acquainted with his mother years ago, when I first got married. She’s a very sweet woman, I just can’t imagine what this must be like for her. They are a good family, 10 kids.

The poor family... 9 other children to care for and this also happening...
I can't even imagine... May God help them through these trying times. 😣🙏

Update from GoFundMe page:
"Anthony is stable today with a noted decrease in post OP swelling of his face and feet. His fourth surgery is still as scheduled for tomorrow morning."
...
"8am surgery time was confirmed for tomorrow.
A short respiratory trial was performed this afternoon to see how he does breathing with less machine support, and he did very well. Deo Gratias!"
...
"The fourth surgery will focus on his legs on Monday morning.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support."

How did he get burned? What happened? The donation page reveals nothing, which seems a little odd.
I will happily pray for the boy and his family, but it'd be nice to know how this situation came to pass.

I don’t know much, but apparently the little one was playing with a lighter and the fire was on his family’s property.

I checked, and the fundraiser has already surpassed the goal of $50K.
That said, it wouldn't be a bad thing, for folks to keep on donating.

Update today:
"Good morning, all! Since Anthony has a day of rest from surgery, we just wanted to write a post with some general updates.
Anthony currently has a mid-grade fever, which he has sustained overnight. While the doctors are not worried (this is common post-operation), please pray for the fever to break. Perhaps more importantly, Anthony will be having the dressings that cover his wounds changed today. This undertaking is extremely painful and can be felt even through the pain medication. He could use as many prayers as possible today for his comfort. Thank you!"

Thank you, everyone for your prayers and donations. The mother of the family also requests prayers for some very important meetings their family has this week.
