Today as yesterday, we were at the hospital all day. They are very strict with their hours though, 11am-6pm and 8pm to 10pm. We are over half an hours away from the hospital, so we grab dinner between 6pm and 8pm.
Missy had some friends stop by today- Carol, Donna, Chris and Dean. As I mentioned yesterday, they are keeping her pretty doped up, although that does not mean pain free! Of all things, besides all the morphine, oxicatin (sp) and various other pain meds, they give her benadryl injections and that helps with the burning and helps her catch some shut eye! Tonight before we left, they gave her, her 4th debriement. The nurse is saying that she is 3rd degree on her left thumb and palm area. Missy has no feeling there so the night nurse is thinking that there will be some grafting on Friday. Tomorrow night, we will be at 72 hrs, and at that point we should be seeing the worst of it. But again, every shift says a little different story on her condition. I will keep posting picture updates of her recovery. Without seeing her in person, you can only imagine the worse, so I want everyone to know how very lucky she is. Love to You all and please keep her in your prayers for a speedy recovery. I've thrown some pics of myself as well. My burns pale in comparison to Missy.

Thank you so much for keeping us updated on everyone's condition. You guys have filled so many of our thoughts these past few days. Nervously optimistic about what the 72 hour mark will bring.
All of our love,
Bill, Tamara, Soren & Anja
Merry Christmas, Missy, Mike, Aunt Linda and Uncle Phil!
Love,
Jill & Linnea
We love you all so much.
Wish that we were closer and could
personally help out.
