well my life here lately has been taking care of my 3 yr olds foot( which his name is Jackson but we just call him Lil J ) you see Wed. night around 9:oo pm he stepped on the stove right after I turned off the burner ( we have an electric stove ) and he has 3rd degree burns on his foot and at 1st it hurt him so bad that nothing helped, and as of Thursday he was jumping off the table and it doesnt hurt, well I found out that he burnt his nerves in his foot so as of right now he has no pain, but once the nerves grow back he is going to be in great pain.
I talked to my family doc and there is a chance that my DS may have to have a skin graft, if the burn is so severe, talk about stress, and he has a higher chance of infection b/c it is on the bottom of his foot.
Hugs to ya all

Mary

Ohhh Mary, poor Jackson!! I'm glad he's not suffering with the pain but you must have been so shaken by his accident!! (Kids sure can get into mischief, can't they!) I hope he has no lasting damage and that if he does have pain, his pediatrician can give him some relief! Hang in there my friend. Hugs, Lori
