Billy’s long road to recovery from severe burns and surgeries
Billy, once a burned child, underwent skin grafting in 1965 at St Francis with 11 pints of blood, later replacing units via Shriners donations. His neck and arm contractures improved after months of reconstructive care under Dr. MacMillan. He returned for follow ups in 1966 and 1967, with ongoing therapy and expectations of fuller use of his hands.
