My baby may be scarred!!!
Hey girls,
I was in the solicitors office yesterday with my demons, when Gideon started to scream, I ran over to him and he had his hand on a hot pipe!!! I took him to the toilet and ran his hand under cold water, he was screaming and when I looked I saw his skin coming off...
I drove like a lunatic to casualty and they told me he may have to be transferred to Bristol for skin grafts!!! We waited for the plastic surgeon to come and see him, in the meantime he was given 2 doses of morphine (as he was in serious pain)...
In the end the surgeon removed all the skin from his left hand (palm and fingers) dressed his hand and we were sent home...
He is feeling ok (not that he can tell me but the crying has stopped)... We have to go back to hospital tomorrow, then ever other day for his dressings to be changed!!! Not looking forward to that...
Yes, before anyone asks, I am suing the solicitors as the pipe should've been covered or a sign warning against it... Gideon may need the money later in life if he has trouble with movement...
It broke my heart, I am supposed to protect my babies, not let them come to any harm!!!
Feeling very guilty...
