This sweet little child is accident prone. I did not realize when she hurt her head on New Years that we were ringing in a year of injuries! Fortunately, nothing has been too serious (knocking on wood.)
After our camping trip, Afton burned her fingers on an iron that I had literally just plugged in. I walked away for 10 seconds to grab a shirt and she put down her book and somehow got the iron on top of her fingers. :(
After a trip to the urgent care and a canceled date night her poor hand looked like this:
She sucks on her two middle fingers of this hand, so we had to wrap it up all crazy to keep the burns from getting infected in her mouth.
Nasty little second degree blisters. Fortunately, the burns were not serious enough to require anything beyond topical creams and bandaging, and she has full movement of her fingers.
After a follow up with her pediatrician we got some better bandaging for her little fingers. She got a lot of compliments on her cool glove :)
And this is when the burns were almost completely healed. They look even better now!
The ONE silver lining from this accident is that Afton no longer sucks on her fingers! She sucks on a pacifier instead... but pacifiers are much easier to take away than fingers are :)
