My grand-nephew was burned on Friday from grabbing hot fresh coffee at restaurant on table in front of him. It burned his leg around to his buttocks and part of arm.
He was transferred to a burn unit in Austell GA (2 hours south of us).
He was admitted Fri night and released Sat morning only because burn unit was closed.. RIGHT!? (trying not to be upset with stupidity)
Anyways he was fine this weekend and then we got a text (while we were live with Brad's study),
Sunday was a hard day and he was in a lot of pain and Motrin was only barely touching the pain. He woke up screaming and crying at 3am because he was so hot to the touch. They stripped him down and put in front of a fan (remember he's bandaged from 2nd degree burns) and took his temp, it was 102.2, gave Motrin, waited for an hour. It went down to 101.7 but now had red rash all over chest, back and arms and mouth. They called Children's hospital of Atlanta and her pediatrician on call. They were concerned he was starting an infection because the wound was so close to the diaper. They were advised to call the wound burn care unit at 8am. They wanted to see him immediately (2 hour drive). Logan and Brianna were in tears. They weren't doing good emotionally. My brother had to bring the car seat back to them from his car and Logan (his son-in-law) was in tears so bad he couldnt form a sentence. (Logan is a rugged man, hunter, tough, so this was a shock). They were worried worse case was sepsis.
UPDATE at 2pm
They are headed home! Wound was healing great and they redressed the wound. The rash and fever is viral, so they are headed to pediatrician. So we still need prayers that they can treat him for the rash and fever but thanking God his wound is good and it didnt cause it that we are aware of.
Please continue to pray for Beau that he will heal quickly and with no more sickness or pain.
He just turned 1 yr old on Nov.2nd.
Praying for y’all
