4 Years Ago

Four years ago I got "the call". The call from Randy's boss. With Randy working the highways I was always scared that something would happen and I would freak out when I couldn't reach him on the phone. I always remember him comforting me saying don't worry unless Bob (his boss) calls. Well, that day came. He was working in Van Horn, Tx(in the middle of nowhere) and was involved in an explosion. They worked with a thermoplastic material that is heated to 400 degrees. Randy was changing the material and had to dump the excess into a barrel which had an aerosol can in it. The can exploded shooting the thermoplastic everywhere. My husband blocked himself with his left arm. Material covered his left arm, right arm, and part of his neck. That was the beginning of a long journey of surgeries, rehabilitation, and recovery. However, even through that difficult time, we were very blessed and had a lot of love and support from those around us. These pictures were taken after Randy had skin grafts on his arm.
