I burnt riley last thursday. I had her in her carrier in front of me. And was putting chicken in the oven and the side of her leg caught the oven door. She let out a little scream and I screamed and ran around like a mad woman to check her feet, etc. Couldn't see anything but still put her feet under water. Then sat down to give her milk and saw it was actually on the side of leg and it had blistered up. Meanwhile I hadnt stopped crying, and put her leg under water for 10mins.
Riley was fine, apart from her 1st scream and being a bit disturbed about her leg being under cold water. Caleb couldn't understand what was going on. But kept saying 'alright Mummy?'
I can't believe how stupid I was! I thought she was safe and secure in her carrier and at the time I was saying to caleb 'keep away, oven burn' and not thinking of riley's dangling legs. So stupid. We took her to emergency and they said she should be fine. Took her to our family doctor and she said the same thing. so it's bandaged up.
I had this false sense of security with riley in her carrier, thinking she's safe and happily going about cooking dinner. Never again. Never again. My whole family have been supportive with comments like 'accidents happen' but it's no comfort to me. I should have known better.
I will never do that again.

Praise God for His protection and that it wasn't any more serious Tali!
About Courtney: she is fine. Maybe my post wasn't too good explaining. Accutane is a super strong drug for teen acne. Her acne has not responded to regular treatments (creams, antibiotics, etc.) and I had it bad as a teen and don't want her to have scars like i have some on my cheeks. SO...accutane has been approved for her...please pray that it won't burn her esphogus or give her bad headaches...thank you so much. I'll be back to browse here later this week..i am so busy right now because of CLaire's xmas show at church. 1 more week!
You must be busy!! Christmas is busy for me and i don't have half your activities!! I hope the medication works for Courtney....acne is terrible for teens. Will definitely pray for her. Just think we have been on the internet almost at the same time. I'm back on now and just saw your comment. The internet is amazing that you should be in your home half way around the world and me down under! Hope the christmas show goes well for claire!
About riley - yes, what gets me is I actually thought about it at the time and I was so confident she was fine and it was caleb I had to be careful of as he was in the kitchen at the time. Her carrier gave me a false sense of security. Praise the LORD who covers my stupidity with his grace.
