Wow, so much has happened in the last few weeks! Our 10 year old granddaughter. Was involved in a cooking accident. She was making Mac and cheese for her brother and sister. When she went to drain the noodles, she slipped and the whole pan of boiling water landed on her thighs and panther area. Her mom and dad brought her in to the ER where the doctor determined the 3rd degree burns were more than they could handle here. He sent her by ambulance to the burn vented in St. Paul. Twenty four days. And three surgeries later she is home recovering. Who would have thought a box of macaroni and cheese could cause so much damage! The whole time she was in the hospital, all she wanted was to be home to go to candle light Christmas Eve service at church. She made it! We were all able to go to church together. Tomorrow is her first check up and major dressing change. Hope it all goes well. Besides having the two little ones here quite a bit of the time (so mommy and daddy could be at the hospital) I had a coworker go out on medical leave. She will be out at least. 8 more weeks! That means I will be doing her job and my job for at least 8 more weeks. In to work early, stay late and no ouch break for at least that long. Not looking forward to that! Actually. I have been doing it for 2 weeks already. My stress level is off the charts! This too shall pass!
