The wrapping finally was removed from Jim's left hand. Whew! We were so thankful to learn the skin graft took. I don't know exactly what the plan would have been if it hadn't, but I can't imagine it would be super enjoyable. Little by little, the swelling is starting to go down in Jim's fingers and hand, too. The stitches also came out of his donor site. It looks pretty angry right now, but is healing well. So, by all accounts, things are going according to planned. Our next step will be surgery on Wednesday. I am including recent pictures as Jim really wants to chronicle as much as he can. If you're a little squeamish.... skip these :)

That's a nice looking graft. He's gonna be a hand model when this is done.
