Hmmmmmm....

Eli's hand is a bit worse than the first doc thought. We went to the pediatrician today to have it scraped and cleaned and he said it was likely 3rd degree too, and that he wouldn't touch it. He bandaged it again and referred us immediately to the plastic surgeon. After a consult, we were somewhat relieved...somewhat not. He is scheduled for a surgery tomorrow morning to clean the wound and determine how bad the damage is.The pediatrician mentioned the possibility for skin grafts, the plastic surgeon, who never actually looked at it, said she doubted that would happen. So, tomorrow will tell. We are hoping for good news. He is one tough kid! He's been so tough and brave...he loves his mommy a little more than usual right now and clings to me alot...which is a little heartbreaking for me~ I love the snuggles but its obvious that he's hurting. Thank goodness for doting bro and sisters who've been babying him like mad! He's thrown out the ,'I have an owie!' card more than once to get favors! That part is cute...little manipulator~we'll keep info posted...
