ELECTRICAL EXPLOSION SEVERELY INJURED MY HUSBAND

MY HISBAND BRANDON WAS AT WORK TUESDAY MORNING 06/6/2023 AND WAS TOLD BY HIS SUPERVISOR TO GO PULL THE SMALL COVER ON A 480 VAC SERVICE ENTRY STATION SWICHGEAR TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE METER SOCKET SO HE WOULD KNOW WHAT TYPE TO GET FOR THIS NEW PRIMARY POWER FEEDER FOR A REPLACEMENT PIECE OF MACHINERY THEY HAVE BEEN WANTING TO INSTALL. HE WENT TO THE BUILDING AND S.E.S LOCATION, AND PULLED THE COVER. THE INSTANCE HE PULLED THE COVER IT EXPLODED ON HIM. IT WAS IMMEDIATE. LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF WHICH SHOULDVE NEVER HAPPENED. LUCKILY HE HAD HIS SAFETY GLASSES AND PROPER FIRE RETARDANT CLOTHING ON BUT IT STILL BURNED HIM SEVERELY. IT BURNED HIM SO BAD THAT INSTANTLY HE IMMEDIATELY WAS TAKEN TO THE BURN UNIT AT BANNER IN TUCSON WITH 2ND AND THIRD DEGREE FULL THICKNESS BURNS COMPLETELY COVERING BOTH FRONT AND BACK OF HIS HANDS, FINGERS AND BOTH WRISTS. WE SPENT 9 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL BURN UNIT ICU WITH THE FIRST 3 DAYS OF THEM TELLING ME THEY ARE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE HIS LEFT HAND. AFTER DAYS LATER FOLLOWING 2 DEBRIEDMENT SURGERYS AND OTHER WORK THEY ENDED UP SAVING IT BUT THE DOCTORS INFORMED ME THAT HE NEEDS AT LEAST 2 MORE SURGERIES AND EVEN THEN MAY NEVER REGAIN THE FULL USE OF HIS HANDS AGAIN. WHICH MEANS HIS LIFE LONG CAREER AS AN ELECTRICIAN MAY BE OVER BUT I HAVE COMPLETE FAITH THAT HE WILL PROVE THE DOCTORS WRONG. HE IS OFF WORK FOR NO ONE KNOWS HOW LONG AT THIS POINT AND EVEN WORSE, HE IS STRESSING AND WORRYING SO SO MUCH. HE KEEPS SAYING THAT ITS VERY POSSIBLE HE WONT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR OUR FAMILY ANYWHERE CLOSE TO AS GOOD AS BEFORE AND I STOP HIM RIGHT THERE THAT VERY INSTANCE MID SENTENCE. BRANDON IS AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE FATHER, A LOVING AND CARING HUSBAND, AN EXTREMELY HARD WORKER PLUS SO MUCH MORE. WE ARE AT HOME NOW HANDS/WRISTS STILL ARENT HEALED ALL THE WAY ON THE SURFACE YET AND HE STILL SUFFERS THROUGH 2 COMPLETE DRESSING CHANGES EVERY SINGLE DAY AND I DONT KNOW HOW HE DOES IT. HE IS THE STRONGEST PERSON I KNOW AND THE BOYS AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I MADE THIS FUNDLY BECAUSE WE ARE ABOUT TO LOOSE OUR HOME AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR AND TO ACHIEVE AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER NOT TO FAIL BRANDON AND OUR BOYS. YOUR DONATIONS WILL GO DIRECTLY TOWARDS MEDICAL MOSTLY BUT ALSO GETTING OUR RENT AND UTILITIES BACK IN LINE WITH THE REST ON GROCERIES AND BABY SUPPLIES. WE ARE SO THANKFUL THAT THIS FUNDING EXISTS AND IS AVAILABLE AND THANK ALL OF YOU WITH ALL OF OUR HEARTS. 

Brandon, Laura, Landon, & Spencer Brown
