Burn Update

We went to the Dr. today to get Benjamin's hand checked out. His palm started blistering yesterday and got worse and red as the day went on. So we went in this morning since they didn't have any appointments left yesterday. The crazy office is open from 7-9 am on Sat, which is just silly if you ask me! So I had to wake my poor sick son at 6:30 so we could get there before the rush since its just walk-in appointments. Luckily we got right in. The Dr. said that the blisters looked ok and that its good that they weren't bigger so they didn't have to cut them or anything (ewe!!!). Thank heavens for that! She said that again we just had to be super careful about keeping it covered in the Bacitracin and wrapped up and try our best to keep the blisters from popping. She also said that it would be good for the hand to be soaked everyday. So that's nice because the nurse practitioner in the ER had said to keep it dry and only do sponge baths for awhile. So it'll be nice to get to let the little guy soak and play in the tub tonight since he has so much fun! Well that's about all for now, just hoping that he keeps the blisters intact and free from infection and that his cold goes away so he can get back to his fun self!!!! Below are some pictures I took of him eating breakfast when we got back, since I thought I might get some flack for putting a post up without any pictures! As you can see, he's still as cute and sweet as ever!
