Emergency Room Visit




Well, my dear sweet Ella had to go to the ER yesterday. I was finishing a SCUBA diving lesson on Saturday morning and received a message (when we had just gotten out of the water) that Ella had been hurt. I called home and learned that Ella had been burned and they were headed to the ER.

So, I got to go to IRMC ER in a wet bathing suit for the second time in my life. FUN!

Logan was getting a bag of popcorn out of the microwave and accidentally picked it up from the bottom. Ella was standing right next to him and the butter flung out of the bag and hit her in the face. She has 1st degree burns on her arm and superficial 2nd degree burns surrounding her left eye. Thankfully she closed her eye quickly and that was not burned (she does have burns on her eyelid, eyebrow, cheek and nose).

We have a referral to a plastic/reconstructive surgeon on Monday.

Thankfully she is healing well and we are optimistic that it will not leave a scar. For now our #1 rule is NO sun!

Oh no! Poor Ella! Sarah, we'll be praying for a quick recovery.

We are praying for Ella day and night around here. I hope that the recovery is scar and pain free.

BTW, she looks sooo much like Logan in those pictures.
