Funeral Update and Prayer Requests
The doctor came in this morning and looked at Mason's wounds. He said that the skin grafting can be delayed and so we can probably have the funeral on Wednesday, but we don't know for sure. We will not know for sure until we hear from the Army on Monday.
Mason's wound care was very, very painful for him this morning. It was so hard for me to see him in so much pain. He is so brave! I am so amazed at his incredible strength. I just held his hand and he squeezed it so hard. Leslie the PT had to scrape off a lot of skin off of his legs with a knife and that is really painful for him. It was good not to have visitors during this time in the early morning. It took about three hours! But his legs are healing well - they looked a lot better to me today. The doctor said that there is an outside chance that he will not need any skin grafts, but with burn wounds, you just have to wait and see because they could "pink up" in a day, which means they are healing.
So, prayer requests: please pray for Mason's pain control, that miraculously God would be with him and give him relief especially during wound care. Please also pray that his wounds would heal quickly and that if it is God's will, that he would not need any skin grafting. Skin grafts are very painful; often the donor site is more painful than the site where they put the skin, but they do heal pretty quickly.
Thank you all so much for your support. The grief comes in waves. It has been really good to see everyone. We have family coming in today; I can't wait to see them.
God is still good. Feel free to make any comments. I will be posting pictures soon.
Love,
Heidi
