Dr Daniel Lozano, who treated Sarah, said: "She lost skin in her entire body. It's rather dramatic
to really see this coming off in sheets."
He added: "We were able, over a 48-hour period, to cover her whole body with an artificial skin
replacement that allowed this to start healing rapidly. Within about a week her skin was back."
Meredith Frank, a nurse in the burns unit, said Ms Yeargain's recovery was a miracle.
"With the magnitude of the skin loss she had that there was a divine hand in her recovery."
