Long Night

[clayton86]

My baby girl got burned real bad today. While at the sitters my 13mo daughter touched a electric fireplace glass screen. Normally they don't get that hot but this one did a number on her. Both her hands are covered in 2nd degree burns. Went to urgent care they gave her morphine and wrapped them and gave us an ambulance ride to the city to see the burn unit.

My little girl has taken it like a champ she was fine once I got to urgent care just kept showing me her hands and babbling her side of the story but no tears till the shot of morphine and bandages. Same when they did the debarment or what ever it's called cutting away the skin she wasn't drugged at all just sat on my lap and starred at me while they did it. We're staying the night to see the surgeon in the morning.

Man, she is a trooper. Sorry that happened, can't imagine what you are going through. I hope she heals up quick.

[Catch and Grease]

That's terrible... Hope she gets back to 100% ASAP, that's gotta be a scary experience for a parent.

Hope you get some good news from the Doc in the morning.

Awwww, poor baby.. God love her, my son and daughter went thru similar, but nothing that bad.

God Bless man..

What a pretty little girl. Good luck and God Bless Her.

What a pretty little girl. Good luck and God Bless Her.

Thanks, wish I could say she gets her looks from me lol but she is my adopted daughter. She looks a lot like her mother other then the dark hair and skin tone she gets from her biological father.

Does make it hard when they ask for fathers family history and I have to explain he's a dead beat and her mother is too.

[clayton86]

Here's my princes when not in the ER and being her normal happy self.

[FloridaFishinFool]

God bless her! I hope she recovers quickly!

[Redlinerobert]

God bless.  Here's to a speedy recovery!

[SirSnookalot]

Oh poor baby......................best wishes for a speedy recovery

[Sam]

Close one.

 

Glad it was not worse.

 

Here's to a speedy recovery for both her and you!

[Bankbeater]

That stinks, hope she gets well fast.

[clayton86]

Thanks for the well wishes. She was tossing and turning all night which actually isn't any different from any other night other then we had a packed pediatrics ER all night with people constantly in our room so it was tough to get her back asleep. Surgeon is supposed to be here between 8-9am which in hospital time that's 2-3 pm. Still trying to get ahold of her wonderful mother to let her know but can't reach her.

[deep]

That's terrible. She's braver than I am. Wishing a fast recovery.

[clayton86]

Yeah she is handling it very well other then not being able to eat because they may sedate her to do the second cleaning. It makes me cringe and tear up seeing her raw hands or even that first picture of it blistered up.

[nick76]

Prayers for you and your daughter.  It will take some time to recover, but kids are pretty resilient.  Take good care of her.

[KritterGitter]

Man sorry to hear, best of luck to both of ya. Burns gotta be the worse injury, I couldn't imagine what Id be like if it was my daughter. Prayers sent

[slonezp]

Sucks. I pray she heals well

[whitwolf]

Y'all are on our prayer list.

[Smokinal]

I'm sorry to hear that man. But, I'm glad to hear it wasn't worse. She could have laid her cheek on it or something. Hope she does well.

[clayton86]

Thanks guys were still waiting for the burn surgeon to come down I'm physically and emotionally drained how ever my bladder isn't lol but I refuse to leave her side

[ww2farmer]

Ughhhhhh.....poor thing. Hopefully it all gets better soon. Thank god it was just her hands and not her face or a larger area. What a mess that would have, as if this isn't enough. I think you need a new sitter if she's able to even begin to get that close to something that hot.

[clayton86]

Yeah the sitter is family(sister) she has one of them electric fireplaces that had the picture of the Flames you can adjust by remote and it also puts out heat. She touched the glass on it. I didn't think it got that hot I mean the thing cranks heat it will put you out of the room it gets so hot in there but I thought the glass wasn't supposed to get hot.

[gardnerjigman]

Dang buddy. My heart sand when I read it and saw the pics. Prayers her way and yours buddy. Let us know if you need anything.

[clayton86]

She has to stay another night to monitor her pain during bandage changes. Her mother and her gf came up for the changing and to talk to the surgeon. She was fine then when they took the bandages off she flipped whipped her phone out to "document" it so she can get the kids taken from me made a big scene and left.
