Not for this family!
Today was my turn to sleep in, but I didn’t get to sleep in much because JonJon slept til 8:30am today! Woo Hoo.. First thing I said to Mike was check J for a fever. He never sleeps in unless he’s sick. No fever. Thank you Lord!
Mike and JonJon make some breakfast and Mike brings Jonjon back to our room and J says “Mommy, i burned my fingwer” I said oh no let me see it! It didn’t look bad. Just a little red. Mike said that JonJon was helping him cook breakfast and they were trying to flip the pancakes and JonJon’s right ring and pinky fingers touched the hot griddle. They didn’t seem to be bothering him so we ate breakfast. JonJon said he had to potty so I took him in the bathroom and while he was pottying I looked at his fingers. They were blistered now! Great!
Looked up what to do in my taking care of yourself book. It said to apply cold and give Tylenol. We tried the Tylenol and he wouldn’t take any. BUT he did hold the teddy bear icepack on his hand. Then it said to take him to the dr. JonJon said at first his fingers didn’t hurt, but then he started scratching at them. I didn’t want him to pop the blister open and since he said it was starting to hurt, we went ahead and went to the ER.
I dread the ER. Seems like every time we go, we have an unGodly wait. This time I was pleasantly surprised. Got in the back with in a few minutes of walking in the door. He was triaged within about 15 mins after we got in the back. Then we were taken to the Winnie the Pooh room and after about 5 mins, the Dr walks in. Takes a look at his hand, had him move his fingers. Said we’d have to put silvadine on it once a day and keep it wrapped for about 3-4 days. He leaves. The nurse and a nursing student come in about 5 mins later. Put the silvadine on, wrap his hand, I signed his discharge paperwork and we were out the door. We left our house at 10:30 am and got home about 11:30. That is the quickest we’ve ever been in and out of the ER!
So, of course I took a picture of JonJon with his hand all bandaged up!!
I have had to re-wrap it 4 times since we’ve been home! He’s been down for a nap since 2:25..it’s now 2:45 and I can still hear him thru the monitor moving around. I hope he doesn’t bother the bandage. So we’ll see if he even naps! Cross your fingers that he does!
