Ouch!!

Have you ever burned yourself with the curling iron... or with a hot glue gun?? I remember awhile back, I burned my fingertip with hot glue and it was the most excruciating, ongoing pain I have ever felt! That burn feeling just doesn't go away. So yesterday, we got up and I was fixin to start getting everyone ready for church and Madelynn went in the bathroom where there was a hot curling iron on the counter and she grabbed it. Just straight up grabbed it!! She is soooooooo good at always talking about how curling irons and sraighteners are "hot" and she is very careful not to touch them. So why she grabbed it is beyond me. She was in the bathroom by herself. The whole day was just awful!! I felt so bad for her. All I could think of was how that little dot of hot glue put me through so much misery, and here my daughter's whole hand is "burnt". I would have done anything to take that pain away from her. The pain where all you can do is cry and shake because it hurts so bad. I think if I could make a wish that would come true, I would wish that I could take the pain for my babies.

She pretty much sat on the couch all day with her hand in a bucket of water. That's all she would do. Even when it came for bed/nap time she wanted it. I guess that was the only relief she could get.

Today it is a lot better and she is using it more. Every once in awhile she'll look at it and think about it and she'll ask for the "bucket". There are a couple of blisters and today you can see exactly where its burned and the swelling has gone down.
