I had gone to Walmart after church with the boys to get something to make for dinner. I was feeling like we needed something a little special so I had picked out some steaks and fresh and warm French bread to make a yummy treat. That in and of itself was a battle because the boys were hungry and Elijah was whining for something to drink. Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE whining? Just saying... Anyways. So I got home and took Noah out of his seat first. Since he can walk now I just took him out and set him next to the car while I grabbed the diaper bag. All of a sudden I hear this SCREAMING and look over to see Noah's hand in between the wheel of the tire. I thought maybe it was stuck but when I pulled it out it was flaming red and blistered. He burned it on the rotors/brakes! I immediately rinsed it in cool water and put some burn spray on it but could tell it was not helping. Jake got the other boys and groceries out and I headed for urgent care. They got him in right away and gave him some ibuprofen and let him play in cold water...which he was not up for. Basically he screamed at the top of his lungs including that awful lip quiver and shaking for 45 minutes until the medicine kicked in AND they got some silvadene cream on it. He has to keep it bandaged until it heals. The hard part...he sucks the thumb on that hand. I figured out a sock taped around to his long sleeved shirt helps keep him from picking at it.
These are the pictures from today. The blister on his thumb broke open but the others are still intact. Sorry the second picture isn't that great. Try to get him to stay still!
