The dressing change went fine, and Sam will be back upstairs shortly.

The surgeon said he didn't encounter any problems, and
the grafts he's done so far are taking.
Another dressing change is scheduled for Saturday;
the doctor needs to do some more grafting as well,
but wants to give Sam a rest, so we're not sure when that will happen.

She's still fighting a lung infection;
it's hard to get rid of while she's intubated.

Other than that, we're in the usual wait-and-see mode, and,
as always, hoping and praying for the best.
