Dang hot water.

So, update on Macie's hand. Poor girl. I know that it probably hurts! I have been putting cream on it, and covering it with a light layer of gauze just to keep it protected. The blisters have like merged together, forming a huge blister. Kind of gross, really.

She had another on her other finger than was pretty big, but it popped last night. It's gross, because the blisters jiggle. There is so much crap in there. Yuck. She is really good about it though. She doesn't play with it or anything, and holds up that hand when she is playing and eating. And it's her right hand. She very ambidextrous, that girl...or amphibious as Shawn Kemp would have said {it was Shawn Kemp, wasn't it??} Anyway. We ran out of the gauze this morning. We went to Target to get more, and what do ya know? As my luck would have it, the blister popped. Just to tell you how gross it was, there was a puddle on the ground. Yes, she was crouched on the ground looking at something, so she was close to the ground. It was gross. A puddle. And then her long sleeved shirt was soaked up to the elbow...yellow puss. Sorry for the detail...it just adds to the value of the story! I rushed home to get her changed so we could make it for story time at the library for Noah. She didn't seem too concerned about her hand dripping with crap. I found these blister bandaids and covered it up while we were out, I don't want the open wound to get infected. But then, do I let it air out, or what? I want it to heal. I don't know...I'm no nurse. Where is my grandma, Myrt, when I need her? I need her to look at the burn and then just tell me what to do! I'll see how keen my motherly instincts are!

So that's the burn update. All the blisters popped...hopefully it will heal, poor girl.
