Oh gosh, my poor baby! Yesterday evening after work I had a going away gathering to go to for a co-worker (or now ex co-worker as the case may be!). Jeff went with me and Brandon was watching Justin. Well, just as we had finished dinner Jeff's phone rang. It was Brandon. He had boiled the water and made ramon noodles (one of Justy's fave things) for Justin for dinner. Fine. Well, no sooner did he set it down and Justin started to eat than it got knocked over. I have no idea how it happened, just one of those weird freak accidents, I think. But, in the end boiling soup landed on Justin's foot. EEK! Well, Brandon did exactly what he should have: he put a cold, wet rag on Justin's foot, then got a bag of frozen noodles and had him hold it on there, called Jeff, and cleaned up the mess. I was very proud of him for handling it so well. So, Jeff and I immediatly left the restaurant and came home to see how bad it was. When Jeff saw it and said I needed to get my purse again, I knew it must look icky! It actually looked like he had a sheer stocking on his foot that was hanging loosely (that would be the top layer of skin that was hanging loosely). So, off to the ER we went! Strangely, Justin didn't cry or anything until we headed to the hospital! Then he started freaking out on us! At the hospital the ER doc said it was mostly 2nd degree burns, possibly a small amt of 3rd degree. As he put it, Justin would prob have preferred 3rd degree b/c they don't hurt as much since they go below the nerves. 2nd are far and away the most painful. He gave us some medicine, bandaged him up, gave us instructions on care, and sent us on our way. Pretty much all we can do is keep it clean and wrapped and keep him on the meds for pain and hope no infection sets in. He's a tough little fella, though! He didn't cry at all at the hospital and was great when they wrapped it up! He didn't much care for the tylenol with codein, though! So, no soccer today. No shoes today period. Maybe his crocs will be wearable. We'll see! Anyway, any pd you could send his way for a quick recovery would be much appreciated!

Oh dear.... Poor Justin.

I hope he is not in a lot of pain, and is feeling better quickly.

Cleaning it and re-dressing it this morning were NO FUN! He was less than thrilled with the cleaning process and air drying process! But, like a trooper, he hung in there and no tears were shed this time! Just some grumbles! But now it's all clean and wrapped and he's medicated, so he's tootling through the house like nothing's wrong! Gotta love that boy! I, on the other hand, just get sick to my stomach when the bandage comes off! It is so nasty looking and now his foot is pretty swollen. Thankfully I think it looks worse than it feels! I'd prob be in bed whining if it was my foot, though!

Awwww

Major dose of Pixie dust coming Justin's way. I know the pain of second degree burns and it is not fun! Here's to hoping the healing is quick and the pain is minimal.

Justin went to school today bandaged and with a sock and his crocs and did well! The biggest, ugliest blister busted today, so right now that area looks kinda yucky since it's all red and oozy. But the rest is looking better each day! We're seeing some scabbing and less swelling of his foot and ankle! So, I think we're well on our way to healed! He even took his own bath and washed it himself this evening! WHEW!! What a relief for me not to have to get him in and out of the tub! Yes, healing nicely indeed! It must be that abundance of PD we had coming our way!! Thanks again!!

Jodi
