SAT . Hope Returns After the Storm: Injured Lineman Hunter Alexander Prepares for Life Beyond the ICU
Excitement is finally filling the air — a feeling that seemed impossible just two weeks ago.
Only 14 days after lying on a ventilator, fighting for his life following a near-electrocution that nearly claimed it, injured lineman Hunter Alexander is now talking about going home.
Let that sink in.
Hunter’s father shared an emotional update this morning, revealing that doctors are adjusting his pain medications — not because things are worsening, but because they’re preparing him for the next phase: managing pain outside the hospital. A milestone that once felt unimaginable.
“I was sitting in the cafeteria this morning looking at pictures,” his dad wrote. “A lot has happened in two weeks. Some truly miraculous changes. Lots of prayers heard and answered.”
The road ahead is still long and demanding.
Surgery number six is expected next week. Skin grafting is likely. Healing will be slow, painful, and far from easy. This fight isn’t over.
But here’s what matters right now:
Hunter survived.
He still has all his limbs — so far.
And he has defied the odds that once loomed heavily over him.
Two weeks ago, his family didn’t know if he would live.
Today, they’re discussing discharge plans.
As Hunter prepares for the next chapter — recovery at home, more surgeries, and a future still being rebuilt — his family asks for continued prayers, strength, and support.
This step forward is huge.
And it’s one worth celebrating.
💬 What would you want Hunter to know as he takes this powerful step toward healing?
