Carr1955

Just a note for thought. I was burned over 90% of my body in 1959-60. I was 4 or 5 years old at the time and male. I was treated in San Francisco by a caring and generous staff. It was always communicated to me by my family that I was the first to survive burns this severe to that date. I was an Easter Seal poster child. I attribute my recovery to talented doctors and nurses, my tenacious mother and family and many, many others, along with a personal genetic meaness and will to live. I also understand that age plays a major part in survivorship. I know this is an old thread but, in searching for sources, I found this site and postings and thought I should make an effort, as it seems there is not much information about on the subject. Strange and wonderous is the world.
