My dad's wife backed into a propane heater and caught her pants on fire burnt her legs hand's and backside bad. Her pants are burnt into her flesh there going to do surgery on Wednesday to remove the material. If you would keep her in your prayers she's almost 80 and has a bad heart.

Oh, man. Sounds awful. Will add her to my prayers.

Prayers sent

Your Father, his wife and your family will be in our thoughts. Sorry to hear the bad news.
-
Ooooh, sorry to hear that. Will send up a prayer for her. T

She’s in my prayers Rob.
Burns that bad are a long painful healing process. My youngest brother spent over a month in a burn unit when he was a kids. Skin grafts and scraping off the dead burnt skin aren’t any fun.

Can do Rob! That sounds extremely painful!

She had her first surgery yesterday they didn't tell her how soon the next surgery is going to be. After they get all the dead stuff and all the material out then they're going to start skin grafts. She seemed to be in good spirits last night when we called her.
Thanks again guys for the prayers.

Thanks for the update Rob. I very much remember my brothers struggle. The part you just described is the toughest. She will need the prayers. She will have to dig deep.

I'll pray she pulls through and grafts take properly. My niece required 150 operations when as a child she was burned by a open grate fireplace in an old home. Half her face , one arm and 60% of her torso required grafts and reconstructive surgery on lips and one ear.

Painful and horrible thing to happen.The prayers sent many and me can only do some good.

She's supposed to have her second surgery tomorrow

They were going to do skin grafts this past Wednesday but she told us they had to scrape her burns again. She said the pain is bad.

That’s the part I remember the most about my brothers burns. They actually scrubbed the dead skin off with a brush. Had to get in all the nocks and crannies too. My brother screamed the whole while.
That and where they took skin from him for the graft. That hurt for a long time. Maybe they have made some improvements since then.
I still have her in my prayers and probably will for some time. Thanks for the update.

Praying for her

They did a skin graft yesterday they took the skin off her back. The doctor told my dad that where they took the skin off feels like second degree burns. Hope it takes.

My niece had 150 skin grafts, the skin was donated by Airmen of a Local Airforce Base.
I think most of the grafts were only temporary. I suppose it was mainly by guess and by golly as to whether a particular patch of skin could take. No DNA testing back then.
That was nearly 60 years ago. They are sure to have improved the process since then.
-
Seems like I saw a tv program once they were using artificial skin. I want to say they grew it somehow.
Might be all wrong though.
Still praying for her Rob
