to heal quickly, with minimal scarring (emotional & physical), pain Rx to help take away the pain, for NO infections & for a wonderful hospital staff & social workers to bring the criminal to justice who did this to the dear little one!
Feb 26th 2000 will be a day ecthed in my memory as it was the day our dd1 was burned. She pulled my cup of hot water soon to be tea on herself & suffered 2nd & 3rd degree burns on 15 % of her body. The burns covered her face both sides, forehead, chin, scalp, chest & large portions of her left arm.
We were very blessed to have a good ER that took care of her.
I KNOW how tough little ones can be! Her Godmother is an RN and helped me debride the burns the 1st time. After that, dh & I took care of her 2x daily baths to clean, debrid & dress the burns. She couldn't be around other children for risk of infections for the 2 months that it took to heal.
She wears special sunscreen clothes that NASA came up with that gives her SPF 30 whether the clothing is wet or not whenever she is outside.
All in all we are thankful that her eyes weren't involved!
God is good & her healing is almost complete (she may need a skin graft in the near future to cover the large keloid on her arm).
