Lilima I am glad that some one came and sat and explained it all to you. Sorry that it didn't happen that way first. Sounds promising that they are going to look at getting J some extra support.
Lulu I don't know how I managed not to loose it at this child's mother. I think the fact that I was so focused on trying to get Hamish to breathe and help him as much as I could.
I am still quite angry , especially when Emma told me after that the two boys had turned it on and knew that it was hot. So they knew it was hot and they still told him to touch it.. I cannot get my head around a child that does this.
Emma also told me that the child tried to blame the other by saying he turned it on. I am really mad. I know this Mum quite well and we have been friends for a while. The boys went to kindy together. Unfortunately she also sees this one child (she has two) through rose colored glasses.
As for scaring we are not sure yet, he has some dressings on , which are meant to be on for 7 days but already today he has been picking them off. He hates anything on his hands and the tape holding the dressings is driving him crazy. Tomorrow I have to go get it re dressed. I can see some very nasty blisters and some skin which is dry and cracked. My main aim is to try and keep dressings on and infection out. I am aiming for Wednesday that the blisters still be intact. I guess we will know then as he is going to the burns unit so they can have a better look.
It appears that the main concern is the large blister he has which is at the base of his fingers, we are hoping it will not tighten and impair movement.
I cannot believe a trip to the local park for a picnic would end in burns... I watched him like a hawk next to the creak. I stood next to him as he climbed a tree and i watched as he happily played on the playground and rolled down the hill. I never expected a burn, we were not using the bbq's and were no where near them.
Today Emma sat him down and told him that she didn't think he was a very good friend and Hamish told me he doesn't like him anymore. He was quite upset because this little boy is coming to his birthday party in 2 weeks, that's if he can still bowl..he is meant to have a bowling party.
Sorry I just rambled along trying to get my thoughts out of my head. While Hamish lay sedated in hospital I shed a few tears with a wonderful nurse as I explained what had happened and about his Aspergers. She sat with me as I cried wondering if we will always face these challenges. I am thankful to her for taking the time to sit with me...
