Heavenly Father, We pray in the name of Jesus for a miraculous recovery for this little girl. Please give hope and comfort to the family. In Jesus Name, Amen
So terrible.
Burning/burns...can’t imagine anything worse.
Poor poor baby
put more gas to the fire
It's the "more" that really gets me.
Gasoline is good for powering engines. I really wouldn't use it for anything else. It's combustible, you know.
Things may have changed since I left...progress may have been made...but when we'd get in a patient this badly burned we always say (softly) "hopefully,he/she will die quickly".
We'd say that because we knew that it was 99% certain that the patient would die eventually...quickly or slowly.
I feel her pain; I too was a burn victim [long ago], and it was over 33% of my body. The only thing I cared about during the ordeal, was my next shot of morphine.
Superb USAF doctors who cared for me, had much experience treated napalm victims in ‘Nam. God Bless them and their expertise. And the Gray Ladies with endless kindness and patience. It took 4 hours to change the bandages, every two days. Excruciating.
This child has a long, long road ahead of her; and the scars will be with her forever.
She and her family are in my fervent prayers.
I use lighter fluid for the charcoal grill or sometimes paint thinner to start a fire quickly. Never gasoline.
So sad.
Lord, please remember this poor girl, Layne Chesney. Amen
Dreadful. Prayers for the young lady.
From another source. She was at a house with her 18 yo friend and his parents when she picked up the container and poured the gasoline.
I had a case once where a group of teens were camping at a privately owned campground. They had a campfire going (within the designated ring), but it was dying out. They had run out of lighter fluid, so one of the teens suggested that they pour on some Coleman white gas, which they had used earlier in the camp stoves. Two of the teens suffered terrible burns in the fireball.
Oh good God in heaven, I could barely read this! I pray for this girl, this is absolutely horrendous, I know what this entails as I use to work in the burn ward in the 1980s. There is nothing on this earth more traumatic.
Why does her mom not know exactly what happened and who did what? And why were they using gasoline for the fire?
My kid, I would be smacking heads to get the truth as to exactly what went down. And whose bright idea it was to use gasoline.
Renova Care is awaiting FDA approval for a new burn treatment, The Cell Mist System, which has proved successful in clinical trials.

Prayers to the girl...and her family, and her friends.
This happened in Fort Pierce, Fl. We live in the same county just a bit south of Fort Pierce. A Go Fund Me page has been set up. I don’t know the family but my heart goes out to them.
Please dear Gd help this girl.
Sadly, her fight ended yesterday, nearly a year and a half after the accident.
