Emergency Room Drama
Well, Ellie had her first run in with the ER. She figured out how to turn the water on from the water machine and got the hot (boiling) water on. She burned her thumb, palm, and arm to the elbow. There is a nice sized blister on the forearm area. So, when the breast feeding comfort of Mama wouldn't calm the cries of pain, I called the pedi. He told me to take her in. Yuck. They gave her some pain reliever so they could clean it and wrap it and sent us home with supplies and knowledge of how to do the same. It is so hard to see your sweet baby hurting and not be able to do anything about it! She is now sleeping peacefully in my arms and I am reluctant to put her down. So, I think I will cuddle her just a little bit longer and catch up on my missed tv from the week. I will post a picture of the boo-boo when it gets light and I find my camera...

Oh my, I am SO glad she is okay! I bet that scared you to death! Poor baby.
awww I would cuddle her too. life lessons are tough and sometimes hurt more than just the person learning. i hope the pain and blisters go away quickly for her.
