Basic Healing, Appointment Tomorrow

I didn't post anything yesterday because there really wasn't anything to report. Heather did well. Her dressing changes are, thankfully, uneventful these days. She has continued to stand up about twice per day. They talked about taking her down to their physical therapy/gym area today to practice walking using some parallel bars for support. We'll see if she feels up to it.

The hardest part for her (and for me) right now is just the drudgery of being in the hospital and not making progress as fast as she would like. It is extremely frustrating and discouraging for her to be away from family, and especially Hannah. It is really hard not to get down about missing all of Hannah's discoveries and excitements during this Christmas season.

Heather has an appointment back up at the UofU Hospital tomorrow. We are interested to see what the burn doctors have to say about how her wounds are progressing. We are unsure whether she will have to go by ambulance or if she can go in a wheelchair-equipped van. Either way it will likely be an adventure.
