Friday the 13th

Other than Mauri's normal bad reaction to the cleaning sessions- this Friday the 13th was pretty uneventful. The good thing about the cleaning sessions, though, is that they give us the opportunity to speak with the doctor.
Today's news was pretty good.
During the session, they removed most of the staples from the grafts from Mauri's left arm. The doctor said that the grafts look very good. Since four days have already passed, that is a very good sign. Both arms are doing quite well, and the legs are on their way to recovery. The main concern is still how the healing on Mauri's back and sides will progress. The doctor did say that the areas seem to be epithelializing well, but that they will have a better idea of if they will have to operate or not when they do a deeper scraping of those areas next Tuesday. He said that Mauri is also doing quite well with movement, and that they will start to do more rehabilitation exercises to make the new skin more pliable. On Sunday they will do a less invasive cleaning session of just his back to make sure the area stays clean and continues to heal well.
If we are lucky, they will let us see Mauri again today (Saturday).
