Just haven't felt like bloggin' the last few days.
Long story short, Trixie climbed up on the dining room table and decided to blow out a candle. Instead, she caught her hair on fire. If I hadn't walked in right that second...........
Well, I can't even think too long about it. It makes me sick to my stomach.
Things can change in an instant. I love my kids so much. I don't know how I would live without any one of them.
Anyway, as I was slapping her upside the head (to put out the fire!) I think I pressed some of the flames onto her forehead, which caused a few burns. Nothing major. Trip to the ER and some silver sulfadiazine and she's almost as good as new. (yes, I italicized and highlighted that for a reason......see below:)
Nurse: Any allergies?
Me: No, except I really don't want her to have sulfa because I had a really bad allergic reaction to it and so have some other members of my immediate family.
Nurse: Okay. Well, this is just silver, it doesn't have any sulfa in it.
Me: Okay, great!
On package in big letters: Silver Sulfadiazine. Hmmmmm...interesting.
Anyway, she's fine with it. But one day there were two spots on her head that turned bluish-silverish-purple and I had a moment of panic.
Not only did I leave a burning candle unattended, then left a 2 year old unattended (okay, I was with her in the kitchen seconds before and she had been in the dining room all of one minute I think), then I smacked her upside the head to put out the flames, which probably caused the burn marks on her forehead, then I allowed her to have sulfa applied to her face, which then began to turn her face blue.
Oh my heck, I'm going to be raising a blue man/girl :

What have I done? What have I done?!
Anyway, it didn't turn out that way. She's okay. Really. And I will be too after some therapy.

Awww, poor kid. At least you were able to catch her before she got too badly hurt.
