Not for the Faint of Heart

Poor little TJ and his burned hand!
This was the first time that they changed his bandage, 2 days after the pro-chef decided to cook. They are a little out of order but they show the gory details... I know that some of you may have seen these on FB so sorry if this is overkill... I just have mommy guilt about this.
The second degree burns go to the middle of his palm and the blister on his pinky wraps around the back of his finger. The sagging skin at the bottom of his palm is another blister. All of the blistered skin that will have to be cut off, anyone want to come to that appointment???
He had first degree burns up to his elbow. They have healed almost and don't bug him very much
What a trooper! He was good until they had to wash the burn then it was all down hill. They have his hand wrapped in non-sticking bandage, gauze, an ace bandage and then some of the stretchy sticky stuff that looks like casting material so that he won't damage it or get any infections. He looks like he has a broken arm. He will probably have to be bandaged for about a month.
Man I hope he gets feeling better soon. He is so sweet and doesn't deserve to be hurt!
