That is the truth. When my cousin was five years old she was playing with matches and her frilly little dress caught on fire. (we all wore dresses back then)
She sustained third degree burns over ninety percent of her body. They had to feed her with a feeding tube for over a year so her body could heal.
She was in the hospital for over two years but she had a wonderful doctor and skin grafting and survived to grow up, marry and have two children.
She also had to have massive blood transfusions and since my uncle was in the military all of his buddies at the post donated blood. The great Guy Williams who played Zorro on tv came to see her.
I have been thinking about my cousin during these past few days and talked to her the other day. She is devastated that they are killing Terri Schiavo and doesn't think that she would survive today.
