BYU Hands

So Derek likes to climb on pretty much everything, so he climbed up on the counter when the stovetop was still hot and he got pretty bad second degree burns on both of the palms of his hands:( They had to pull off all the dead skin with tweezers after the blisters popped and I had to clean it and continue to pull off the dead skin around the edges daily and he would scream every time...no mommy it hurts, no more mommy...I felt so bad! He was pretty excited to have the blue wrapping on each of his hands though and we made it even more fun by adding the Y for BYU... when he was sick of getting the skin pulled off and having them cleaned he would say "I want lotion and BYU hands mom":( They are finally starting to look much better and it is amazing to me how the body can heal and recover from such a bad burn like that!


The blister on this hand was the size of his whole palm the morning after I took this picture, and then he got blisters on the tips of his fingers and all the way down his pinky finger as well:(


This was after it had had some of the skin pulled off and
had been wrapped up over night, the whole white area was a blister
and had to be pulled off... YIKES!

Derek and his teary eyes...
he was very happy to have his lotion and "BYU hands"

After the "Y's" were drawn on...what a trooper :)
