A Texas family is mourning the loss of a beloved father and the hospitalization of his young son following a lightning strike.
Just seconds later, the lightning bolt struck, killing Boggs and severely injuring Grayson.Matthew Boggs is pictured with his wife, Kayla, and their two children, Elijah and Grayson."On arrival, responders located an adult male and a 6 year old child who were not responsive," the statement read. "Responders determined that the adult male was deceased and the child was unresponsive, but breathing.
"It seems like he's making very small progress every day, but we don't know if it's purposeful," Burris said. "Until he's off [the ventilator], we're not going to know the extent of his deficits."The hospital declined to comment on Grayson's condition, citing patient confidentiality. "As we learned more about the extent of Grayson's injuries, he's going to need some sort of care for the rest of his life," Burris said, adding, "There has been such an outpouring of love and support for them. It's just amazing."Burris said the family is focused on Grayson's recovery and remembering Boggs, whom she described as a devoted dad.
