Update

We just got back from a very short trip to Salt Lake to see the Dr., and got what should end up being the final diagnosis:
  • He has to have grafts on some of his fingers on one hand
  • No grafts on his back, palms, or anywhere else; they will heal by themselves
  • His head has healed, his leg is healed, most of his hands have healed*
This is about as good of news as we could have expected. Better than we expected is that we can cut back on a lot of the bandaging he's had to do and we get to go home the same day of the surgery.

Thanks so much for all the help, food, love, and concern thrown are way. Thanks especially to Grandma Holm for using up most of her month watching our other kids and to my mom for coming up here to help out.

*By 'healed', they mean the skin has regrown healthily. His skin is not back to normal and cannot be in the sun for a year.

What great news. I am sure your careful bandaging this past week helped with the healing, but most of all the prayers of faith that have been given by so many.

Love, Dad Holm
