A Texas teenager suffered 90% burns at a holiday gathering when a boy threw a pan of gasoline on the fire, his mother said.
Madison Lewis, 17, remains unresponsive at a Dallas hospital, Fox Dallas reports.
“There is nothing in the world that I want and need more than my baby girl to be healthy and living life. She’s 17 years old,” Ericca Hammond, Madison’s mother, told the news outlet from her daughter’s room at Parkland Hospital.
Lewis was with friends around the burning barrel when a boy threw something inside, Hammond said.
“I thought it was a cup at first, but now I found out that it was a real pan filled with gasoline into a barrel, and they said that it just exploded and went towards him,” he said. “It was terrible. Burning his whole body.”

Lewis, a senior at Jacksboro High School, has had at least four surgeries since then.
“This is the first year since I’ve been a mom that I haven’t wrapped a single Christmas present. Not one,” Hammond said.
The teenager was supposed to graduate this year and go to college, her mother said.

Doctors took her pain medication on Tuesday to see if she became responsive, the news report said.
“He was supposed to graduate in May and go to college in August, but he has a lot to do here,” Hammond said. “Because of that. I mean, he’s a hero. He is a fighter. That’s what we need most now is prayer and for his recovery and his weak body.”
