Hand update

For those of you who haven't heard we had a bit of an incident with James on Saturday morning. He managed to grab a cup of boiling hot tea and so we took him to the ER. He has second degree burns on his right hand and a little bit on his chest.
We took him to the doctor yesterday for a follow-up appointment and they said that although the blisters look really bad right now they are actually looking good for a full and complete recovery. We have special burn cream to put on and need to change the bandage every day. We go back in one week. Although he gets upset when we change his "special glove" (as he calls it) it doesn't seem to bother him at all when the bandage is on.
It's not slowing him down or stopping him from doing anything - in fact I think he's teaching himself to be ambidextrous! Stickers are a bit tricky but he does them anyway! We have to be really careful that it doesn't get infected so we're keeping him inside (away from the dirt!) for a few days.
I've just exceeded my photo quota on the blog so no photos right now - hopefully will sort this out in the next day or two!
