Miraculous Advances

 Tom Kerr, Jr. (9:09 am EST, Tuesday, 1/11/22)

It has been approximately 335 hours since the fire. In that amount of time, we have gone from disbelief that it happened, to disbelief in the support and blessings, to now, a disbelief in how far they have come. It amazes me how the human body, these great gifts, are capable of healing themselves. All of the technology and medical advances are simply about helping the body do what only it can do; to fight for life and heal itself.

Kyle has probably undergone his last surgery for his burns. He is looking amazing, and improvements are happening right before our eyes.


Pepper was able to receive a full shower in the burn unit yesterday. Afterwards, they wrapped her up in new bandages and she was even able to sit on the edge of her bed for one minute. She hated all of it, but the advances she is making are mind boggling. Seeing her little face and being able to recognize her as Pepper is a wonderful thing. She is stunningly beautiful!

Krew went through a complete dressing change yesterday, also. His right arm looks promising for skin grafts on Wednesday. The doctor believes more time will be required before grafts can be applied to his left arm. Grandma Gayle Copeland was actually able to hold Krew yesterday. Krew's events for yesterday include being able to stand for a few moments.
