Momling Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 One of my foster kids was abused and came to us with 3rd degree burns on his hands. (With no medical attention for over a month!) We had a lot of instructions and creams and bandaging to take care of. He did okay with his bandaged hands and surprised us. He needed a bit of help with some stuff, but was pretty capable. Unfortunately I saw him recently and he had contractures and keloids that made his hands pretty gnarly looking, but I don't think that'd be an issue with second degree burns. Even still, he was happy and thriving and I was super impressed by his resiliency. Hopefully your son will have an easy recovery too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Oh my, I just saw this. What a horrible accident!! I got a burn like that, just on one finger, and I STILL remember the pain. The skin hurt to stretch as it grew back. I bet care is much better now. I had no fingerprint for a while as the skin grew back. Well take care of your ds. That's going to take a while to heal, both physically and mentally. I had my burn while making candy (divinity), and I don't think I've ever made it since. And that was a lot of years ago! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Oh Lori, how scary! Praying his hand heals, for a good report tomorrow (hoping no surgery continues to be the case!), and that he can be patient with the healing process and pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Oh, Lori, I just saw this now, but I'm so glad that he is doing pretty well and that the prognosis is good. I'll be praying for his recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Geek Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I have treated myself for a couple of burns from spilling hot food on me. There is a product called burn gel http://www.waterjel.com/consumer-products/burn-jel-plus/ I would mix this with triple antibiotic ointment and keep it loosely covered with gauze and tape. The burn gel really helped with the pain. Hopefully they have given you this or something similar to it. Lidocaine is the ingredient that really helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooksandBoys Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 My thoughts are with your son. I just wanted to mention that if he's taking narcotics, it would be a good idea to get him on a stool softener right away and keep him on it for several days after he stops the narcotics. Opiod-induced constipation is horrible! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerryAtHope Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks so much for the update, Lori. I'd be weak with relief too. And how amazing is it that he instinctively grabbed with his NON-DOMINANT hand?! Praising God for good news, and I hope and pray he heals up completely. I wondered about tendons shortening etc... too--sounds like they have a good plan in place and your son is being a trooper! PS -- in answer to someone's question -- it is his NON-dominant hand, so another blessing there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
