VIDEO: The wife of an Okanogan County firefighter says her family is taking each day at a time as he recovers from severe burns to more than 50% of his body.
Christian Johnson, a volunteer assistant chief with Okanogan County Fire District 3, was hurt while battling the Spring Coulee Fire south of Okanogan in early September.
Johnson was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he remains in the intensive care unit in critical condition.
Right now, he’s sedated, his wife told KOMO News on Thursday. But he does move his feet a bit, which she takes as a good sign, she added.
"We’re taking one day at a time and we’re moving forward," Pam Johnson said.
Johnson and her family have been overwhelmed by all of the support they’ve received since her husband arrived at the hospital.
