Wound Update and Strength Building

Heather's sister, Heidi, let me know that Dr. Morris, our doctor/surgeon in the Burn Unit, said that Heather's abdominal wound is looking good and that her leg wounds are so-so. Heidi also said that they will try Heather off the ventilator for a two-hour period today. Heidi said that Heather is currently sitting up in bed (The hospital beds are quite impressive. They can mechanically fold into a chair, which makes sitting and standing tons easier.) and will try to stay sitting up for an hour. It is great to hear her making these improvements that seem so small, but are really huge.
