Hunter got a bath and his hair washed tonight — a simple moment that should feel normal…
but instead it triggered intense pain, reminding everyone just how fragile this recovery still is.

And tomorrow, he’s heading back into surgery again.

Tonight’s update on lineman Hunter Alexander is one of those reminders that recovery isn’t always dramatic in the way people expect.

Sometimes the hardest moments aren’t in the operating room.

Sometimes they happen after something as simple as a bath.

Hunter’s family shared that they’re shutting things down for the night, but before doing so, they wanted everyone to know that Hunter is dealing with quite a bit of pain this evening — pain that surged after he received a good bath and had his hair washed.

To most of us, that sounds like comfort.

But for Hunter — whose body is still recovering from severe electrical trauma, open wounds, repeated surgeries, and wound vac treatment — even gentle movement can ignite the kind of pain that steals your breath.

Tonight, that pain has returned.

And his family is asking for prayers that the medications he took at bedtime will finally bring him relief.

Because what Hunter needs most right now isn’t just surgery.

It’s rest.

Another Surgery Confirmed for Tomorrow

As if tonight’s pain wasn’t enough, the family also confirmed that Hunter is now scheduled for another surgery tomorrow.

The exact time still isn’t fully confirmed, but they believe it will likely be around 10 to 11 a.m.

No matter what, Hunter will be NPO after midnight, meaning he will not be allowed to eat or drink as the medical team prepares him for the operating room.

It’s another long night of waiting.

Another morning of uncertainty.

Another trip back down the hall toward surgery doors.

Family Still Unsure When He’ll Move to a Regular Room

There is still no confirmed timeline for when Hunter will be moved into a regular room.

It could possibly happen tomorrow, but the family still doesn’t know for sure.

And that uncertainty has become one of the hardest parts of this entire journey — because every time progress seems close, something changes.

A pain spike.

A wound concern.

A new complication.

A schedule shift.

A Family Overwhelmed by Support

Once again, Hunter’s loved ones took a moment to thank everyone who has reached out through texts, messages, and calls.

They said the support Hunter has received has been truly amazing — and deeply appreciated.

This fight has been physically brutal for Hunter, but it has also been emotionally exhausting for everyone who loves him.

And the prayers and encouragement have helped carry them through.

The Biggest Prayer for Tomorrow: Minimal Debridement

The family ended with the request that has now become familiar with every surgery:

Pray that the debridement is minimal.

Because every piece of tissue removed is a reminder of what the injury has already taken.

And every surgery brings the same fear:

What will they find next?

Tomorrow is coming fast.

And tonight, the family is asking for pain relief… rest… and one more miracle in the operating room
