Rocky style

Speaking of Rocky style, Corb, you may think we're taking this whole Rocky Balboa thing a little too seriously by the looks of this photo.

But alas, W is not training for his first fight, he is recovering from a nasty burn from his vaporizer. It was definitely not one of my proudest parenting moments. We turned our backs for two seconds which was about two seconds long enough for W to touch the steam and immediately start howling. Two hours of crying later he finally fell asleep and actually slept through the night. Our nurse friends recommended taking him to a doctor if it blistered and by Saturday morning, boy had it blistered.

Since it was Saturday we went to UrgentCare thinking it might be cheaper than the ER. We waited in the waiting room for an hour and half, get in the exam room, the nurse takes one look and says, "Oh, we're going to have to send you over to the ER. We don't deal with burns on the palm of the hand." Grrr....that would have been nice to know when I called UrgentCare and asked if they would see my son because of the burn on his hand before waiting an hour and a half! So we went to the ER where they looked at it, wrapped it with gauze and sent us home. Remind me again why it was so important that we go to the ER? Anyway, two lessons learned:

1. Never use a vaporizer again

2. Unless it's a third degree burn it can wait til the doctor's office opens on Monday.
