After hours under heavy anesthesia, 24-year-old Hunter finally opened his eyes. But the relief everyone prayed for quickly turned to heartbreak. 😔

Family members say tears replaced his usual strength as the reality of his condition set in. Machines surrounded his bed, pain persisted from wounds still struggling to heal, and beneath layers of bandages, his left arm remained nearly motionless. 🏥🩹

Katie stayed by his side, holding his hand for hours as Hunter quietly began to understand something devastating — the road ahead may mean far more than just additional surgeries.

Loved ones continue asking for prayers and support as his recovery journey unfolds. 🕊️
