Barbie Thomas Biography

When Barbie Thomas was 2 years old she lived in an apartment complex in Pasadena Texas. While playing outside she climbed upon a transformer. For anyone who is not sure what a transformer is it is one of those big green electrical boxes that you might see outside your house – only this one was much bigger. As she climbed up she grabbed onto the wires.
Electricity 101: When electricity enters a body it has to have an entry point as well as an exit point. It entered through both of Thomas' hands traveled through her little body and exited through both of her legs. That is why there are burns/scars on both of her legs. Her arms were burned all the way through to the bone. They were completely dead and had to be amputated at the shoulders. She now has a shoulder on her right side which she uses for many things and not much on the left side. Her kids endearingly call these them her “nubs.”
The doctors said that she probably would not live. They said if she did live she would be a vegetable for the rest of her life. Her mother made a promise to God that day-- if he let Thomas live her mother would make sure that she became “somebody.” The doctors were boggled by Thomas' recovery. They decided she must have survived because of the rubber soles on her tennis shoes. Thomas chooses to believe that she survived because God saw the bigger picture and had plans for her.
