Vino was brought to one of our clinics. I remember seeing him and wondering what could be done to help him. He had been badly burned in a kerosene spill accident. His right arm, right hand, chest and neck were scared and he needed expert reconstructive surgery. He was presented to the Children's Burn Foundation and Grossman Burn Center. He came to the U.S. to be treated. He has made wonderful progress and is now free of the burns contractures and continues to be treated. He is going to school and seems to have adjusted very well.Vino is facing some challenges that could effect his recovery. He is running out of harvestable skin for grafting. He is having "balloons" placed under his good skin to stretch the skin to provide more usable grafts. We are now waiting to see the results of the new skin harvest. I will keep you posted on the progress.
