She said it’s the only physical touch he is allowed to have, due to the severity of his wounds and concerns of infection.

She said doctors have told the family that the tactical gear he was wearing in the field, including his helmet and boots, helped protect him from more extensive burns. She said he will be undergoing surgery this week to remove some of the damaged tissue and begin placing skin grafts.
“这将是一条漫长的路。就像他们告诉我们的,这是马拉松,不是短跑,”她说。
"It's going to be a long road. Like they told us it's a marathon, not a sprint," she said.
