Jenn called me today from her hospital ward and we talked for 15 minutes her voice is still raspy, but clear, and she sounds more like Jenn - she has been moved out of High Care into a regular hospital ward, ALL of her tubes have been removed, and she has been taken off oxygen. When she arrived at the hospital, she had scabs covering most of her face - they have mostly come off, and the skin is normal underneath!!
She is looking forward to taking a shower by herself tonight, and wearing her own clothes - including a pink nightgown her mother took to her.
The eye doctor examined her vision thoroughly, and her eye is fine - stitches should come out tomorrow, and we'll know more about her appearance then. They also have a macular facial surgeon who will be looking at her soon.
Prognosis is that she will be in the hospital about a week longer, then move to a halfway house for two weeks, then be flown home.
Her mother said "her recovery has been amazing. It is happening so fast, that she may not realize how seriously she was injured". She also restated again how wonderful the hospital staff and hotel staff had been to them.
Brenda and Micki are planning on leaving on the 8th, Brenda hopes to be back home Friday morning. Jenn will be lonely, so feel free to give her a call - remember, it is 8 hours later there (central time).
