We are back at the burn unit at the University of Utah hospital. That is a good thing though. On Wednesday, mom went into the clinic to see how things were going and they decided that it was time to close the wound. She had surgery on Thursday. They had to take a skin graft from her thigh. It went well. For right now, the graft seems to be taking. She will probably be in the burn unit for 7-10 days, then we aren't quite sure where she will go. It will be time for some pretty intensive therapy so that she can start getting up and moving around.

not much update
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. There just hasn't been much to say. Mom is doing good. She is working hard at therapy and trying as hard as she can to get home as soon as possible.
She moved last week to a new room, but is still at the Woodland Park Care Center. Her new room is smaller and not quite as nice, but it is still a good place.
She went to the burn doctors last week. They said that her wound is healing nicely but that they probably won't be ready to close it up completely until 6-8 weeks. She can come home before that though, if she is strong enough to. We are hoping that in another month or two she will be ready to come home.
She really appreciates all your thoughts and concerns. We love you all.
