Burn, Baby Burn!

Yesterday was not one of our best... It started of normal enough, we went to the gym and came home and the girls watched a movie while I took shower and then while I was getting ready Paige came up stairs and was hanging out with me in the bathroom. As much as I Love her I don't like her being in my bathroom because she gets into everything. Well she had climbed in the tub and I had to get her out because she was getting all wet since I had just gotten out of the shower then she started to unload my cupboard under the sink so in the course of trying to put the stuff back in the cupboard she grabbed the curling iron cord and pulled the hot iron down and it landed cradled in her right arm! She of course started screaming and didn't even react enough to try and dump it off so I had to grab it off. My poor baby had two major burns on her arm and was trying to figure out what to do. I put cold water on it ant tried to call my pediatrician (which every time I use I want to change but don't ever think about it until I need the doctor again) anyway of course they have a 5 min message before you can actually talk to anyone and then on top of that yesterday of all days there is something wrong with it and it just keeps repeating itself! AUGH!!! So I hang up and happen to find a nurse hot line number and finally get through to someone and the dumb nurse keeps asking me about my insurance and how to spell my name! Seriously it's a free hot line what does my name and insurance matter just answer my dang question! All the while Paige is of course screaming her head off and the nurse actually told me to put her by the sink and let her run cold water over it and walk away so she could talk to me without all the screaming...ARE YOU KIDDING ME! So after all her non help she says I should probably take her to an urgent care or er to have it checked out anyway...that is all I wanted to know!!! So I put them both in the car and go to the ER at the hospital right by my house and they took us back right away but then of course we didn't see anybody again for 1 1/2 hours Paige did finally calm down but then just wanted to get down and go because by this time it was past lunch time and was into nap time. The doc finally came and told us she was lucky because if the burn had been in the crease where her elbow bends they would have sent us to the burn center but just gave us some cream to put on it and we have to change the dressing twice a day. So two and a half hours after the actual incident we were leaving the hospital and stopped at sonic to get some lunch for the girls and then went home to try and take a nap. Even as tired as she was she didn't get much of a nap because every time she laid on her arm it would hurt and wake her up. She did however sleep really well last night and has been doing surprisingly well, you wouldn't know anything was wrong other then the fact that she keeps trying to take the bandages off. So my heart was hurting yesterday but I'm glad my baby is okay!
