Day 7

Nicole had a better night last night. Resting up for her surgery today. Doctors had originally said not surgery til Monday but they decided to do one today. They actually took off the skin of all the worst burned areas. The did not graph those areas but laid homograph and cadaver skin to protect the areas and trick it into not rejecting the new graphs when they happen.

The surgery actually was about 4 hours today. besides taking the skin they did a tracheostomy. I was so glad she was well enough to have that happen. Prayer works. She looks a little more comfortable without a huge tube in her mouth.

I asked the doctor when he thought she would be up-graded. He said, "Not for 4-6 weeks. We will see how things go." Well at least he is not down-grading her.

We couldn't ask for better care-givers. If they had to take a test for who is the most loving, caring, generous, selfless, giving people they would All pass with flying colors.

We see the loving hand of God in all of this.
