Update on Josh Casorso’s Condition
Posted by: John Kirk on November 13th, 2006
We received some good news on the young Ogopogo witness who was badly burned in a freak accident aboard a train in India.
Josh Casorso is doing well and undergoing skin grafts in Vancouver Hospital. His body is healing nicely, especially his face. He is fighting a few infections at the moment, but they are dormant.
Thanks to all those who sent prayers and good wishes to Josh. His recovery now seems fully underway and we wish him all the best as he fights his way back to full health.

My best wishes to the young man.
I wish him well, and can only hope that he’s able to spend some relaxing and painless moments on the calming waters of Lake Okanagan in the near future.
I agree whole-heartedly with Loren as this is good news. My thoughts and prayers are with Josh as he continues to heal.
I will hope and pray for a quick recovery for Josh!
