Day 20

To start Brenda went to have an MRI this morning, but then Doctor Kelly stopped in to tell Jack that Brenda will be having a CT scan because she cannot fit in the MRI machine. At 11:09 it was determined that the root of the problem with her hand was compression in her spine. The Doctor will be consulting with a specialist in order to address the problem. Doctor Perry took a look at her burns today to see how the skin graft was taking. He reported that the large burn on her torso seems to be doing well. An interesting fact for all of you wonderful followers. The doctors had used a new process with Brenda's large burns, one that has minimized bacterial growth. It has been so successful they are debating using it on other patients. Her next surgery will be Dec. 13. For this surgery and any surgeries after they will only be doing one surgery a week. Dr. Perry plans on doing the ears and other small sections. Brenda is still critical, but she has been having success thus far. Keep praying for her recovery and that the skin grafts take.
