Our very own PK made his way to the entry-way side of our see-thru fireplace and used the glass to balance himself. He burned his right palm entirely and 3 fingers as well. The blister was soon obnoxious, so since it was a friday night @ bedtime, we took him to the ER. Grandma watched and put Vanny to bed, who was pretty upset by his brothers ongoing crying. The doctor sent us to the Harborview Hospitals burn unit in Seattle on Monday. There they removed the blister and taught me how to dress it and do his hourly exercises so that he would have total use of his hand. Without these exercises of bending his fingers backward and stretching out his palm, it would heal incorrectly and he would have surgery to correct it. Sufficed to say, we are diligent in doing them!
PK is crawling and playing like normal. We go back to Harborview in 10 days. Much baby-proofing is now our focus. These 2 little men are constantly on the go!
