The Burn Story Continues - On To The Wound Care Center

We saw the doctor again on Monday. The nurse 'S' came out to the waiting room and called Beth's name. We walk to the back and she weighs her and directs us to the room. She's talking to Beth a little differently, not bad or anything, just different from the usual, "Hi, I'm so-and-so and I'll be your nurse today." 

We sit down in the room and S says, "I have a sister who looks... exactly... like... you!" 

My face lit up! "You do?! You have a sister who has Down Syndrome?!"

"Yep! She's older than you are Beth but yeah, I do!" Awwe! What an amazing visit we had with her. Her sister is 45 and lives with their mom. She's beginning to slow down now but they still enjoy going to concerts.

S was so good with Beth. You know when you meet someone who just knows how to communicate and engage your child? You just wanna hug them and make them part of your family! 💖

Well, back to the reason for the appointment. When the doctor came in, we removed the bandages and we both agreed the burns don't seem to be healing like they should. Today marks 13 days since it happened and they're still very raw and oozing.

So now we have a referral to the Wound Care Center at our local hospital. They were closed when I called so I'll call again to get an appointment. Please pray with us that these burns begin to heal. I'm so, so thankful Beth isn't in a lot of pain, but oh, this can't be fun.

(I'll add a photo to the very bottom of this post. If you don't want to see them, stop reading here.) 😅
