Hi all, just a wee story of an eventful evening.
What a night we have had! I was at A&E with Charlotte till midnight. A bit of a story, but i'll keep it as short as possible. Charlotte went to stay at Nana's farm for the weekend (a good half hour out of town)Yay!, but at 7.30 we got a ph call to say she had burnt her arm. (They had been making milo at the bench. As Nana brought the jug around Charlotte brought her arm up - BANG! - she wore the water). I jumped straight in the car and raced out. As soon as i saw it i thought A&E. It is about the size of a very lg orange and was blistered and weeping and clever Nana had put a plaster on it (right over the middle of the wound). Of course we picked a busy night to go to A&E. The nurse took one look at the plaster and said he wasn't touching it! Finally they got us a room with a bed at 11pm, so i was able to settle Charlotte down for a sleep. She is a deep sleeper thankfully so when the Dr and nurse came she slept thru the whole procedure of pulling the plaster off (and some of the skin with it) and having it dressed. They have said it is a nasty surface wound, but at least over time it should heal completely without scarring. Charlotte seems okay this morning. I think Nana is more traumitised than her. She was on the ph to Daryl last night in tears while i was at the hosp. Still it really was a simple accident that could have happened to anyone. Charlotte is enjoying the attention and Daryl has said she can have tv today and whatever movie she wants! We are also going to bake (one of her favourite things to do). Drama though and am somewhat tired today. Maggie was up at 6.30am and i let Daryl sleep in as he had work. I get to sleep in 2morrow.Could be another rough night though as Maggie has been sneezing all morning and seems to be developing a runny nose. Hopefully it will just be a minor cold. Bring on the Pamol!
