Our weekend
August 28th, 2007We had a pretty bad/traumatic weekend; wound up at the hospital Sunday-today because the munchkin has burns on his chest; he pulled scalding hot tea on to himself while we were at the in-law’s.
He’s healing very well so we don’t have to go back to the hospital until Thursday.
I got to ride in a chopper with him, air-lifted to the local children’s hospital as it’s an hour drive away and our close hospital isn’t equipped to deal with burns/small children. It’s amazing what you can do when your child is in danger. I’m terrified of heights.

Aww, your poor baby! I hope he’s doing alright
People can do amazing things for their children. We were talking about that the other day… one person said was that they didn’t think they could handle _fill_in_the_blank_ and the basic response was “You do what you have to.” When the kiddos need you, your instincts take over any of your fears.

Oh my! I hope you will post details of how this happened, it could be an excellent lesson for all parents out there of simple household dangers. I’m glad to hear your little one is going to be okay, that had to be terrifying for both of you.
