SAN ANTONIO – Doctors at Brook Army Medical Center are keeping Governor Greg Abbott in the hospital for at least another night. It was recommended that Abbott take another day to recover and heal after undergoing surgery to repair areas of severely burned skin. Doctors have not said how long Abbott will remain in the hospital.
Abbott’s second and third degree burns from scalding hot water cover his lower legs and feet.
After undergoing a successful skin graft procedure at BAMC to repair the most severely burned areas on the governor’s feet, it was recommended that he remain in the hospital.
Abbott was originally admitted after doctors at BAMC discovered he was suffering from a bacterial infection related to the burns he suffered last week while on vacation in Wyoming.
