Skin graft may save crash victim s life i THURSDAY night United Press International GALVESTON — Doctors at the Shriners Burn Institute say a tiny piece of skin from the burned body of Rachel Schultz may wind up saving the girl’s life. The girl, 7, was burned over 86 percent of her body July 9 when a Pan Am jetliner crashed into her family’s home near New Orleans. Although the child remains in critical condition at the Insti tute, doctors Tuesday said they hope work by the New York Sloan-Kettering Memorial Insti tute of Cancer might help pro vide her with new skin that would help her recover.

He was sent enced on the drug charges by another judge after Wood was gunned down May 29, 1979.

Rachel is not expected to re ject the cultured skin because it is grown from her own. Doctors say the skin will serve as a permanent defense against infection — a burn victim’s deadliest enemy. Rachel’s physician at the Shriner Institute, Dr. David Herndon, previously has used cultured skin on burn victims. About 10 percent of Rachel’s body will be covered with cul tured grafts. The use of cultured skin means fewer operations for the burn victim, who usually has 20 or more operations in the first few weeks of treatment because donor skin is rejected. Herndon said until the cul ture process is proven success- COPIES 2V2< kinko's copies ful, he must use almost every \ available bit of the victim’s own I natural skin to cover the open wounds. Rachel, despite her critical condition, is alert and speaks with her doctors and nurses at the Institute. Her doctors say she faces years of reconstructive work on her face and body if she sur vives. But until she is 18, all medical expenses will be free at Shriners. Her mother, Barbara, re mains in stable condition in East Jefferson Hospital in Metarie, La., where she is also receiving skin grafts. Rachel’s sister Jen nifer died following the crash.
