THETFORD, Vt. (AP) -- Two months after she was maimed in a lye attack, Carmen Tarleton continues her fight for life.
Family members and friends, meanwhile, pray for her recovery from what one doctor called "the most horrific injury a human being could suffer."
Burned over 80 percent of her body when her estranged husband allegedly doused her with the chemical, she has undergone more than 16 skin graft operations and has more to come.
Now blind, with one ear burned off and another damaged, the 39-year-old nurse and mother of two remains in the intensive care unit of the burn center at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, heavily sedated and unable to speak.
