To All that have inquired about my FF friend who was injured earlier this month, I just rec'd this email below. If you'd like to view this brave man, please visit www.rvfd.org Firefighter Joel R. continues to recover from his burns at the Washington Hospital Center Burn Unit. Although Joel has seen significant improvement in his condition and most of his grafts are healing well, there is approximately a 20% area that will need to be re-grafted. As of today, Joel is scheduled to return to the operating room on Thursday, October 23rd for his fourth surgery. The burn center surgeons will debride the skin grafts that did not take, primarily on the back of both legs and the front of his right leg, and then re-graft those areas. Due to Joel’s upcoming surgery, he has requested no visitors on both Thursday, October 23rd and Friday, October 24th. It is now expected that Joel will remaining in the burn unit until mid-November.
