I was so mad at the staff at Urgent Care. After we did the triage and checking in, we had to wait for almost 1/2 hour while she screamed the waiting room. I should have been more assertive and asked for them to give her something for the pain, not a mistake that I will make again! Finally into a curtain room....to wait some more. The Dr. comes in and looks at it. By this time she had fallen asleep. Now the poor thing is awake and crying again while we wait again for the nurse to get her some pain medicine. So an hour after arrival, I got her medicated and her hand wrapped up.
The Dr. said he doesn't think it will scar and there shouldn't be any problems with her hand functions. Already I have cut back on her medicine dosage, it has codeine so I don't want her to have to take it for too long. ( By the way, mixing it with chocolate syrup makes it go down easier!) I take her for a check up on Thursday.
Well if you are faint at heart, you might want to skip the first pic. The blister on her palm got bigger over night, but the ones on her fingers and thumb seemed to have gone down.
If you use a wood stove, make sure the little ones can't get to it, even if you have a barrier, like we do.
This is day 2: 10-17-07
Sleeping away
She doesn't let her bandages get the way of doing things. Little trooper.
