I forgot to post this but I need to put it in so it will be a little out of order with the rest of the blog.
This morning we noticed that Kirk did not have a shirt to wear to work that was ironed so I quickly ironed one before he left. Instead of taking the ironing board out I just quickly ironed the shirt on the ground. Then I uplugged the iron and kept feeding Heidi breakfast.
When she was done eating I took her out of the highchair and started cleaning off the tray. The next thing I hear is Heidi screaming and I knew she touched the iron in the other room.
I rushed in there and found out that I was right. My heart dropped. My poor baby. I ran her hand under cold water for a few minutes but she really didn't like it. She was so tired so I gave er some milk and put her to bed. I think the burn set in then and really started hurting. She really needed to nap so I gave her some Benadryl and wrapped her fingers in a wet cloth. Then she slept for another 3 hours. I felt so horrible. It is the worst feeling to know that your baby is hurt because of your carlessness. I was heart broken. The rest of the day I kept her hand wrapped and then wrapped it with gauze and anti-biotic ointment for the rest of the healing.
I know I cannot stop her from being hurt all her life but I hate that it was my fault. =(
