Thao continues to thrive in Sacramento. Her new skin is starting to heal and she says sometimes she can feel it tingle. She loves how smooth it is and how soft it feels. In order to keep her new skin from slipping she has to wear a velcro mask. But, each night she gets to remove the mask to apply lotion to her new skin.

Notice the matching cast on the doll. This picture also shows a good view of her new soft and smooth facial skin.
The cast will remain on her hand for the next few weeks. This is only the first of a few planned surgeries for her hand. It hoped that through surgery and rehabilitation Thao will gain movement of her fingers. The original goal for Thao to be able to touch her fingers to her thumb. However, Thao showed everyone her determination by reaching this goal months before this surgery took place.
As usual, she continues to amaze us all.
