Kendrick's Burned Hand

On the last morning of our California trip with the drill team, Kendrick burned his hand. We had just finished ironing our clothes for the day and Scott had left the iron on the ironing board and was going to put it away. We were rushing around because we had to pack everything up that day too. Well, Kendrick pulled the iron down off of the ironing board and then tried to pick up the iron--which was still very hot!

Kendrick started crying and I said what happened? Scott explained what happened and so I put some ice in a baggie and put on his hand. I could tell he was getting a blister, but Kendrick calmed down and so we didn't think much more of it.

Well, after we returned home, Kendrick had his 18 month check-up. The doctor looked at the burn and "popped" all of the blisters and cleaned them out so there wouldn't be any infection. He then put a gauze pad on it and wrapped it all up. It looked like a small cast!

Anyway, it is getting better everyday. We change the wrap and take it off a night. It is itching a lot and so we know it is healing.

I tried to take some pictures, but Kendrick wouldn't let me get a very good one.

It is getting better each day. We have been back to the doctor to have it checked and he said everything is looking good!
