Kansas City Boy Upset His Lionel Messi Jersey Was Ruined in Fire Pit Accident as His Recovery Continues

From his hospital bed on Wednesday, 6-year-old Christian, a Kansas City fan, sent birthday greetings to Argentina superstar Lionel Messi, who turned 39 that day.
Christian suffered burn injuries after accidentally falling into a fire pit on Saturday at a friend's house where a bonfire was burning.
Parents Andrea Holmes and Matt Holmes credited a fire chief neighbor for the quick response that ensured Christian received immediate care; he sustained burns on his back, legs, hands, and arms.
Watching World Cup games in his hospital room helps Christian's recovery, with parents using a sticker chart labeled "you can do it, Christian" to motivate him during meals and physical tasks.
