Josey • Age 12 • Winona, MS

While hanging out with friends during an end-of-the-year campfire, 12-year-old Josey was severely burned in an accident, suffering second and third degree burns on his arms, legs and torso. His mother was initially told he might be hospitalized for over a month.

However, after just 12 days at Children’s of Mississippi, Josey was on his way home. His mom attributes her son’s swift recovery to his optimistic persistence, the care he received and the technology of spray-on skin.

Josey’s infectious spirit touched the lives of many people. During his hospital stay, he had 68 visitors and arrived home to a parade in his honor.

We’re sending a big round of applause to Dr. Marc Walker, a Children’s of Mississippi plastic surgeon and the Songcharoen Endowed Chair of Plastic and Reconstructive Hand Surgery, who earned the Grand Prize at the Arctic Midnight Sun Surgical Workshop in Reykjavik, Iceland. 🇮🇸
The international event brings together top surgeons to explore new uses for Kerecis — a fish skin product that helps heal burns and surgical wounds. 🐟 Dr. Walker’s award-winning case showed how Kerecis can be used in surgery for base-of-thumb arthritis, one of the most common and painful forms of hand arthritis.
His technique is giving patients, including children, a better path to healing and making daily activities easier again. 💪💙
