Heather is doing really well this morning. She says that she is in no pain, has no nausea, and has an appetite. She also says that she doesn't remember anything that happened during or after the surgery last night, which is a real blessing. It's wonderful to see her feeling so much better than she has for the past couple of days.
There are three main doctors that work on rotation here in the burn unit (Dr. Saffle, Dr. Morris, and Dr. Cochran - I'm not sure of the spelling of those names). Dr. Morris has been on since we got here, but he is rotating off today. Dr. Saffle is covering the weekend, and I believe Dr. Cochran will be on for several weeks starting on Monday. Dr. Saffle started the Burn Unit between 20 and 30 years ago, and is a revered figure in the field of burn care. He came in to see Heather this morning and said that if her wounds look good on Sunday and it appears that she won't need any further surgery, they will take her tracheostomy tube out on Sunday. That would be fantastic!
