Family friend

[Lindsey]

I am not a person who is big into prayer. I do not pray every night. I do pray when people need my prayers. I know a lot of people need prayers right now but I'm asking everyone to please send one up this way tonight. My dad works on power lines. My dad has always worked on lines, and he will until he retires. My dad, the power guy. I've never been worried about him before, he knows what he's doing.
Well, my dad has this friend Curt. He and his wife and kid moved to my hometown a few years ago and became very good friends with my parents. Curt and my dad worked together on lines. Just about 2 months ago, Curt got a job with BC Hydro which was a great opportunity, and the family moved out to BC.
Well, Curt and two coworkers were changing out a line and something went funny and Curt and one other guy got electrocuted with 14400 KV. The third guy luckily was able to call for help. Curt's gloves were burned into his hands, his cell phone burned into his hip. His back is severely burned from his harness. He has worse than third degree burns and was airlifted to the hospital in Calgary. He will be undergoing many many surgeries. Since electrical burns burn you from the inside out, there's a good chance he's got some severe internal damage.
He's a young guy with a young family and I feel so bad for them. Just terrible. And it really hits home how lucky I am that my dad has never run into anything that serious. And I'm scared for him now.
