On Tuesday November 22 Raider got a nasty burn on his left hand
from our heater. We took him to the pediatrician, she put cream on it
and wrapped it. The pediatrician said it was a third degree burn.
She was worried his hand would heal in a curled up ball,
if this happened he would never be able to extend is hand. She set us
up an appointment with a burn specialist the next day.
Trent and I took Raider to Doc. Jones, the specialist.
Right when he unwrapped it he said "oh, he will be fine".
Doc. Jones said it was a second degree burn. He re wrapped it,
told us to come back in a week so he can cut the blisters off,
clean and wrap it again. Raiders poor hand will be in a wrap
for a few weeks plus his hand will be pink and sensitive for a
couple months!!! So far Raider has been a champ. He gets frustrated
cause he has to army crawl, and he can only use one hand to pull
himself up on things and to play with toys.
Its hard on me cause I have to make
sure he is not sucking or picking at his wrapped
hand. I also cant let his hand get wet.
