A hand update........
Well we had a dressing change on Friday, which was all as to be expected, not as healed as I was hoping for, but no cause for concern.

And then last night she began to tell us that she had a hurt. Which really is the best news we could have had. It seems like the healing process has started. I am hoping I can continue being glad in the night when she gets up!

She is thrilled that she has bitten the thumb section of her mitt free and is now able to see her thumb. She spent most of church thrusting her hand at people and then pulling the mitt away and giving the thumbs up! Cute if not repetitive.

Dressing change tomorrow and plastic surgery appointment on Tuesday (routine not because we definitely have to go there). More details to follow.

We had a hard day on Tuesday night when Heidi feel against our hot fire and burnt her precious little left hand across the back.
So the end result is that she has very deep second degree burns on her left hand, I guess the good thing about that is that she is in no pain....for now.
So we have entered a world of dressing changes and sensory assessments. Time will tell the extent of her feeling loss etc, but we are trusting in the Lord.

Apart from that life is busy busy busy.....

Everything hurts!

I decided to do the neighbourly thing and shovel our friends paths (you have to shovel within 24 hours of snow or are liable for a $500 fine). They are on the corner so it is a hard job and with so much snow these last few days, hideous. But it saved me gym entry today, and Heidi got to play out with some other children which meant she napped much better :) I should learn to warm up!
