Friday night Elley was helping me cook some dinner at the stove. She does this quite a bit and I'm always careful to make sure she is safe. She knows the stove is hot and she shouldn't touch it.......or does she?
She had a stool and was watching me cook her some scrambled eggs, she even stirred. The doorbell rang. I turned off the burner, moved the eggs over, and Elley and I both went to get the door. When we came back into the kitchen I pick up the pan and was dishing the eggs onto her plate. Next thing I know she had climbed back onto the stool and stuck her little hand right on the burner which was still hot.
Immediately I started running cool water over her hand and she was screaming. After a few minutes she started to calm down. Adam was on his way home and stopped at the store to get some burn cream. By the time he got home she was holding a sippy cup of ice water to help with the burning/throbbing. What a poor girl! I don't know if any of you have ever burned you finger or hand......I have, and it HURTS. Just a few months ago I was taking something out of the oven when I burned my finger. I had to keep running it under cool water and kept ice by my side....and it still hurt.
It was hard keeping her comfortable, so we decided to take her to the ER for some pain relief. The doctors gave her some pain medications to help calm her down and help her deal with the pain. We also got a prescription for that same stuff to get us through the night and the next few days. We have to keep ointment and a sock on it. If we go out any were we keep it wrapped up so the blisters are protected and it doesn't get infected.
She is doing a lot better now. If you touch her fingers she will say "ouch" but other than that she goes about her normal day. I hope the rest of the healing process goes well and that we wont have anymore burn accidents around here.
Perfect!!! What a handy guy....I think I'm gonna keep him!
