ACCIDENT!!!!! Scalded Left Hand

My heart sank when I saw my 2 year old son's left hand scalded with lots of blisters. His eyes were telling me how much he's aching. I felt his pain and how I wish I could just take it all.

He happened to dip his hand in the pail of hot water which was supposed to be his bathing water last night. He removed the water hose so the water was not mixed with cold one. My mother-in-law was just attending to Zeo when she suddenly heard Hariell screamed! She didn't notice Hariell going in the bathroom. She put Vaseline lotion immediately. Then after a couple of hours, my husband came back from work and told me what happened. I instructed him to put on aloe vera gel for first aid. He said that Hariell's hand was red but did not tell me it looked like something I never thought my baby's hand could be :( When I got back from work at 1:30 in the morning, I cried. Feeling kawawa for my son and I felt helpless. It was an awful feeling I hope I could never feel again.

My brother sent me some help and told me to be strong for Hariell. And then later on, Happy and I went to the Emergency Room of a nearby hospital. The doctor cleaned and sterilized my baby's hand and applied ointment. They also gave him a pain reliever for comfort. Hariell was so brave he was trying not to cry. I wish I could just ease all his pain. It was difficult seeing him like that.

After some hours, the doctor discharged us and we went home. Hariell still have difficulty sleeping. It must be really painful for him.

But God is good. I know my baby's going to be stronger after this.
