Lengthy update...

Eowyn burned her hands. We were at someone's house the wood or gas stove, was off when we arrived, it was turned on while we were there and we were not notified, and Ewoyn put both hands, palm down on the stove. She had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on the palm side of her hands. We brought her to Shriners within hours of the incident, she got the best care I can imagine is possible. She has been healing quickly and there is no concern for longterm scarring or any mobility loss. It's been an emotional and difficult time, in many ways, but we have been blessed through all of this as well. Ewoyn has been a very amazing little person. She does not complain or try to remove her dressings. She is even cooperative during dressing changes, even when she was very upset about them, she was just a great kid. I may write more about the experience as time goes on, but for now, know she is doing great, healing fast and is still a happy, active baby. Here is a picture of her in her dolls cradle with the Teddy Bear her Great Aunt Chip sent her...it came with the hospital gown and bandaged hands... Ewoyn was touched by this...When he came out of the box, she gently patted his bandaged hands with hers, said awwww, and hugged him. She knew how he felt. It was very sweet.
