I wonder how many thousands of dollars this is going to cost the taxpayer?

After a skin transplant at Texas Children's Hospital, 10-month-old Ja'bari Gray's mom is grateful she can finally kiss her baby boy.
The San Antonio baby born with missing areas of skin came to Houston to receive life-saving treatment.
"He literally from the neck down, from the front and back nothing, there was no skin and even parts of his legs, he had no skin," said his mother Priscilla Maldonado.
Ja'bari also has other complications. His eyes are fused shut and even though his skin has started to grow on its own, his fingers, toes and neck became fused while in the NICU.
Maldonado says there was no sign of anything wrong during her pregnancy, and they only discovered the abnormalities after he was born and aptly named. Ja'bari, she says, means 'fighter.'
After two surgeries to open his eyelids, they re-closed. Both of his arms, right hand, right foot and neck will all require surgery to separate them.
Maldonado is staying positive, celebrating every milestone.
