Kyle and also Amanda's rescuer were on the Today show NBC today. Kyle is pretty banged up but his burns are not too severe.
He and Amanda are at the Army Burn Center. It is not an easy segment to watch.
If you go to www.today.com and click on Amanda's picture, you can watch it.
How's Amanda Doing?

Up to this point most people did not no the extent of Amanda’s injuries, that was because we were still finding them out ourselves.
As of today Amanda is in “stabilized” condition but please keep in mind that “stabilized” does not necessarily mean “stable”, she remains in the Burn Intensive Care Unit.
She sustained a significant inhalation injury from inhaling smoke and fire, because of this, she has a breathing tube and a machine helping her breath.
She is burned on almost 70% of her body. 64% of which are “Full Thickness” or “3rd Degree” burns. This includes her face.
She sustained numerous fractures to her face and orbital bones around her eyes. As fare as they can tell she can still see fine.
She also sustained fractures to her neck and back. In other words she has a broken neck and back but at this time she does not appear to be paralyzed.
That is the bulk of her major injuries and there are many more that I will not list. But the good news is she’s young, healthy, athletic, in great shape and she’s a fighter. The doctors keep bragging on how strong she is and how well she did in her 1st surgery. Amanda goes back in for her 2nd surgery tomorrow morning around 7am. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I will let you know how things go tomorrow.
