Both procedures went fine, and Sam is back in her room sleeping.

She looks a lot better w/out the tube --
you can see her whole face again, which is nice.

The plastics doc is pleased w/how things are looking, and
grafted her butt area today; he also redid part of one leg,
but said that most of the prior grafting took pretty well. He said the whirlpool treatments have been beneficial, as the skin is looking a lot better; she will resume whirlpools in about a week, after today's grafting has a chance to heal. He's hoping today's session was the last "major" grafting, and that he'll only have some small fixes/clean-ups left to do.
Let's hope!

All in all, a good morning for Sam; let's hope for a restful weekend.

Thanks,
Jessica
