It was years ago. She was 18 months old, and very very quick... I was coming out of the kitchen, which we had gated, and somehow she went by me, moving at what seemed like a million miles an hour. Just as I grabbed her, she pulled a pot of grease off the stove. The handle was turned in like it was supposed to be, but she just grabbed the lip of the pot...
It could have been a lot worse, but she still ended up with 3rd degree burns on her chest, shoulder, and behind her ear...
She had some grafts, and has pretty much healed. 13 Years old now... and still too damned quick...
WOW, what a horror for your family but it looks all is well now. My son was a healthy preemie and we had to hang in that ward for a few weeks(3) until my son was big enough... I felt such sorrow for the other families who had sick children while my son was fine. He was born at 3. 6 lbs then shrunk a bit and came home at 4.2 because he was so healthy and I will never forget the sick children we left behind... : ( some where around 1.5 lbs : (( just a difficult situation that you leave asap and pray for the rest : (
Just great docs a great ward, great nurses and great parents all around. Something I will never forget ever.
Oh dear. Well, I am so glad she is ok and thank you for sharing. I too have a little toddler and stuff like that scares the bejeebus out of me. When you have children its like you have to constantly be on the offensive.
