Progress

Whitney Copeland (5:00 AM PST, Saturday, 1/22/22) Pepper did well with her shower yesterday, the Dr. was very pleased with how her wounds are looking. The cadaver skin on her arms, torso, and back are adhering well. They will take her in Monday for #14 to remove the cadaver skin and put a different synthetic skin down. This will be extensive and a long procedure, her legs and feet will have to wait until later next week. She still has a good appetite, and requests food like a pregnant lady would, we are so happy to oblige. Her pain is uncontrolled at times but they are working diligently to get it under control. 27 days, building tolerance to these medications are definitely an issue it’s a challenge these drs are willing to take on.  Krew had a chest x-ray this morning and his lung had significantly improved, prayers are working!

Whitney Copeland (10:50 pm PST, Friday, 1/21/22) 13 surgeries and 25 days in for this brave, strong, beautiful survivor.  Pepper asked me today, “mommy you know those nice people that got stuff off of our bus? Did they find my iPod?”  She found out today, that someone replaced her iPod touch that she received from Santa 2 days before the accident, it’s all she asked for this Christmas. She sobbed and sobbed. I asked her if she was ok.  “People are just so kind, mommy.”  I love your heart baby girl, I’m so proud of you, you are a beautiful soul. 💕  #Copelandstrong
