Despite the severity of Jay Leno's injuries, the comedian's doctor says Leno was passing out cookies to children in the burn ward: “He’s walking around and cracking jokes.'

During a press conference Wednesday, Leno’s doctor, Peter Grossman, said the comedian “did well” after his first procedure and is in “good spirits” . Still, Leno’s burns were serious enough that Grossman said he will need to “undergo further treatment,” as well as an additional procedure later this week.

“Our hope is that when everything is said and done, he will do well,” Grossman said. “But burn injuries are progressive and dynamic and it’s hard to predict ultimately what the final outcome will be at this stage in the game.” Grossman offered some additional details about Leno’s procedure, explaining that he underwent a surgical excision and grafting procedure to his face, chest, and hands. That involves cleaning and removing the unhealthy tissue and then placing a “biological skin substitute over the wounds in order to expedite healing.” That skin substitute will eventually be removed, at which point Leno’s wounds will be reevaluated, and the doctors will decide what needs to be done during Leno’s second procedure.
