SAT . Prayers Answered: Injured Lineman Hunter Alexander Shows Powerful Signs of Recovery
Just days ago, it was hard to imagine a moment like this.
On Wednesday morning, a lineman who could have had 10,000 volts of electricity tear through his arms was spotted doing something that once felt almost impossible — sitting by the hospital elevators, wrapped in a black robe, Mardi Gras beads around his neck, calmly holding a cup of coffee.
When his father walked in and saw him, the words came easily and honestly:
“I would say last night’s prayers were answered.”
The moment comes on the heels of Hunter Alexander’s fourth surgery, where doctors delivered encouraging news. Surgeons found healthy tissue in his hand, and confirmed that the fasciotomy incisions are holding — a critical sign in a long and uncertain recovery.
The battle is far from over. Swelling remains, stitches are still in place, and the road ahead will not be easy. But for the first time in days, the progress is undeniable.
Doctors are now beginning to talk about what comes next: skin grafting, once they are confident every bit of damaged tissue has been fully cleared.
Hunter, just 24 years old, is the lineman who climbed into danger during a brutal winter storm so others could have heat, light, and safety. Now, he’s fighting a different kind of battle — one measured not in volts, but in patience, endurance, and faith.
From ICU… to fresh air… to coffee and beads — it’s not the end of the story.
But it’s a powerful chapter.
If you’ve been following Hunter’s journey, leave him a message below — something he can read as he looks ahead to healing, grafting, and a future that is finally beginning to come into view. 🙏
