Rachel --- please pass along our continued good wishes. Anthony must be a real "trooper".Recall that Sumner Redstone was badly burned in a fire, and survived and thrived:

http://www.myprimetime.com/work/life/content/res_ceo2/index.shtml "Success isn't built on success, it's built on failure, sometimes on frustration, sometimes catastrophe, and how you turn it around and turn a negative into a positive," says Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone. His theory was put to the test in 1979, when Redstone was nearly killed in a five-alarm fire in a Boston hotel. He suffered burns to about 40 percent of his body and was told he'd never walk again. But the then 55-year-old Redstone wasn't buying it. He had too much living to lose. "Survival is winning the biggest battle of your life," says Redstone. "Winning is survival." At the time, Redstone was a small-time businessman with a chain of movie theaters. The near-death experience became a stepping-stone for the fearless media mogul who went on to build an empire that garners more than $20 billion in annual revenue. And he still tears it up on the tennis courts, thank you very much."

I extend my hopes for a full recovery. I myself have been through this same ordeal, although not on the face.My hands suffered second and third degree burns during a fryer accident where the fryer came apart as I was cleaning the outside of it. I spent eighteen months in recovery before I was allowed to handle anything with my hands again, and an additional two years of physical therapy just so I could open a coke can on my own. You get through this. So let him know not to get down on himself, you get better, and friends are abound here on film-tech. Good wishes to you both. Dave ps... 85 percent recovery here, but you would never know it if you looked at me, just look retarded from all the static cling in my hair. Dave again.
