Curt rode his motorcycle to work, and when he got home his little buddy went to the garage to greet him. He got curious about the bike, and touched the pipes. It's a sick feeling to see what is about to happen, yet be too slow to stop it.
After a tearful trip to the emergency room we came home with these expensive accessories.
it looks like he wants me to pick him up but he's actually waving and showing off his new hands. I think he's pretty proud of them.
He has second degree burns on his left hand and right forearm. His hand is a big blister. It makes me cringe every time I change his bandage. But, suprisingly, it hasn't slowed him down too much. As long as we keep his pain under control he acts like his same crazy self.
I feel bad because three of his favorite things will be affected--
Food--He won't be able to eat as fast or as much with only one functioning hand
Baths--He loves bathtime and he won't be able to get wet for 3-4 days. I'll just have to wipe him off and put yummy lotion on so he doesn't start to stink too bad.
Signing--he and the girls have been learning a little sign language and he really enjoys using it. It's a wonderful way to help him communicate, but not so great when his hands won't work.
Poor kiddo.
