"Austin is sleeping a lot and mending physically and mentally, then Friday we start treatments up here in Tampa for his 3rd degree burns on his hand, and possible nerve damage surgery," wrote Austin's father, Kyle Dunn.

"I'll put some pics out later of his damage and hospital stay, but gotta warn you the hand is bad! Not 4 the weak stomach! He has nerve damage down both legs where it also exited! Brain is staying stable and he is in lots of pain but also is alive and here to complain!" he added.

The airport officials have said that the lightning warning system was activated at the time that Dunn was struck.
