AG,
Sorry that I got so busy and didn't check the Board more carefully!

Praying for you and suggest that you go and get a full body cast just for protection! lol

Seriously, I'm praying for you!

Got to going too fast and went down a hill and the bike went one way and she went the other...She hit concrete and slid... it is a horrible 7 inch by 4 inch cut down her side... we ran to the dr this morning to get it looked at. All I was able to do was clean it with peroxide and put neosporin on the guaze pads I put on it... She screamed so bad someone would have thought I was killing her. So we rushed to the dr and they inform me after doing some kind of skin test something or another that not only is it infected its a 2nd degree burn from the slide across the concrete. Burnt to badly to put silvadine on so we are just doing the best with what we can. She cant start her PT yet for the ankle because of the burn soooooooooooo say a prayer.

There are other things going on too not with her but me and just keep us in prayer please. This isnt really a good time around here at all.

Thanks in advance

Girl, when it rains it seems to pour at your house. Taking it to our Father, He is faithful.

Ok for a lil more info. Just got off the phone w her dr. The burn is a very high 2nd degree burn and what it has done is taken off all but the bottom layer of skin.. so when she moves the bleeding is coming from the one left layer of skin tearing. So they are hoping this burn bandage will 1 hold it still for now among other things. One thing I did forget to say earlier is there are actually 2 parts that are not covered by skin at all. My dr informed me his call will be followed by a call later this evening from a plastic surgeon. They are thinking they are going to have to do a skin graft because of the area where the burn is (right at the bend of the hip start of the thigh) and so every time she bends her leg it bends the skin and with the skin trying to form a new layer what it is instead doing is ripping the layer she has left causing at times near uncontrollable bleeding.

Thank you so much Falla..

Just an update on the baby girl..

There is of course much pain but that is to be expected with a burn of this degree. They cannot give her Codene as she is deathly allergic to it so we are rotating the Motrin and Tylenol and seem to be doing ok. She did make it to school today and the nurse is giving me hourly updates as she goes in and checks on her every few min. They are just doing their best to keep everyone away from her and not touching her at all. It was a really freaky moment when we got there and her whole class decided they wanted to hug her and we heard one scream and they all backed off LOL... kind of freaked me out but her worse I think. She explained to them WITHOUT showing her scars and they all just oooed and ahhhed and said ok air hugs! So I think now with her class knowing it will go a little smoother. The nurse said it was funny watching her go to computer lab. 2 of the girls said hey lets build a hedge around you... so they walked with 4 kids around her to "protect" her and they would talk and say ok walk over this way so you dont hit this.. walk this way now... LOL

Now that I am destressing I am gonna try and go get some groceries and a nap.. havent rested since this happened on Sunday so about ready for a bottle of Vicodin and a few pills of some strong drink! LOL KIDDING!!!!
