First Big Owie

Every Monday a group of us get together at a local coffee shop for "happy hour". We pretend that it's a playgroup for our kids, but the truth is we all love coffee and chatting. We happily sit and sip coffee, chatting away while our kids have fun. Sounds perfect, right? Well this past Monday's happy hour started out normal, until Ty found the outdoor lights (we sit outside in their seating area). They had never been turned on before while we were there, and I didn't catch him before he put his hands on them to investigate. They were VERY hot and Ty ended up with second degree burns on both hands. One hand only had two small blisters, but the other was burned all along the bottom of his palm.

Almost one week later, I'm happy to report he is healing quickly! The minor hand is no longer wrapped, and today was the first day the other hand looked like it was starting to dry out. It was a rough week with lots of teething that caused a fever and congestion in addition to his hands. I think we're on the upswing now though!

That's about it for us and I have some sad photos to share. Happy leaf raking!

Not thrilled about the day's events.


A few days later, still feeling pretty punky. Bucky decided to wrap his thumbs separate but it didn't seem to help. Luckily the one hand that is now wrapped has all his fingers exposed as the minor blisters on the fingers are doing well.

He has done a lot of resting and sleeping, and frequently goes and lays down in his chair.

A happy moment yesterday when he modeled Bucky's hat.
