What a little trooper we have had the past couple of days! Micah has done an amazing job, making it through this burn/blister encounter. I was anxious to see what his hand looked like yesterday at our doctor appointment, as there was a new blister on his pinky when he woke up in the morning. When the reveal happened, I definitely felt sorry for my little boy, as his hand was pretty blistered and red. The doctor was encouraged though, because he was using his hand relatively well. She told us he needs to keep it wrapped and clean for 5-7 days and to try and keep his blistered intact as much as possible.
When I took off the bandage today to give it a thorough cleaning I noticed the largest blister at the palm had popped but also that the others had seemed to shrink a little. The redness has faded and I think we are successfully in the healing period. Another parenting crisis survived:)

You can see the blisters on his two fingers as well as his palm. He had 4 blisters at the base of each finger as well as 2 rather large blisters by his thumb.
I want to cry just looking at them! Gah! I feel so badly for all of you. But I am so thankful that they are getting better. He looks so brave in the last picture. Sweet boy!
ReplyDeleteOuch. That's a nasty burn. Hope he's feeling better!
