Slide Burn

Alia!

Thursday, July 21, 2011

What started out as a fun day in the sun, ended up as a 2nd degree burn on the bum cheeks for Alia.  She was in her swimming suit at the time.  She climbed the slide, started her descent, and burned her little bum cheeks all the way down.  Her delicate skin blistered immediately and the first layer of skin peeled off, exposing a bright red burn about 3 inches wide and 6 inches long on each side.  Audrey had to change bandages three times a day, apply antibiotic, and make frequent doctor visits to make sure no infection occurred.   Poor baby girl! From Alia, the bad luck went to....

The burn is on both sides of her little cheeks.  It's just about healed in the picture above
