Radford has had his left leg amputated below the knee and doctors have been able to reattach some fingers that were blown off. He also suffered severe burns on his face and chest. The hope is that he will be able to use to his fingers again.

It's possible that the teenager from Matagorda County may have also been blinded in the incident, which occurred on Saturday evening in Sargent, south of Houston, at his aunt's house. He's undergone a handful of surgeries since the accident to assess injuries to vision. He's also on a breathing machine, according to family members.

On a GoFundMe page set up to help pay for the coming medical bills more details have been released about his injuries. His arms are being held together by pins and screws and his right leg has also been injured.

According to reports he's been heavily-sedated since Saturday's accident.

The family spoke to KHOU-TV in order to warn parents and children about the dangers of fireworks when not used correctly.

According to his mother, the teen was known for "sparkler bombs," made by tying together hundreds of the hot-burning novelties for a spectacular blast. The explosion caused a 4-foot hole in the ground, family members said.

Another child received eye injuries when metal shards were blasted from the sparkler sticks.

"Rowdy has always been known for making his booms and he makes his booms by scaring everybody," Samantha Hansen, Radford's aunt, told KHOU-TV.

On the GoFundMe page the family says that the teen was due to be a freshman at Tidehaven High School this coming semester and was interested in one day becoming a mechanic.

Nearly $6,000 had been raised by Tuesday morning to help Radford's family with medical expenses.

"I just want the parents to know don't let your kids play with fireworks. It's not worth it. It really ain't," Radford's mother, Wendy Smith, told KHOU-TV.
