Wow Fred. What an awful thing to have happen not only to your grandson but to anyone. Must be a gutsy kid to go through all this but hats off to him. I think I know where he gets that from.
I worked with a guy many years ago with the same thing. He and his buddy were playing at a cement pipe manufacturing plant. Being mid Winter they grabbed some gasoline and decided to make a small fire in one pipe that was enclosed at the back.
They started the fire and he decided to throw some more gas on the fire. Of course the gas can caught fire and the rest is history. His nickname was Torch.
We were working one night at the carpet factory and his machine kept shutting down so he was cursing and swearing. I yelled over "You having fun over there John"? He came back with "I haven't had this much fun since the night I got burnt".
He then started laughing. Personally I think this was his way of hiding his feelings. The Dr told him with his severe burns he doubted he'd be able to have kids but he proved him wrong. Unfortunately I've lost contact with him.
