Wednesday morning the doctors debrided the burns. This means they sedated him completely and scrubbed away any debris so the burns could heal more easily. It is an exceedingly painful process and we were glad he was knocked out. His mom was able to stay with him. When they got to the deepest burns that had been covered with an artificial skin on the night he came in, they decided to leave it alone. It was healing so well it didn’t need to be disturbed. We were so glad. The scrubbing made his face swell a lot during the day. He looked pretty bad by evening, but they said he could go home.
He needs to return every day to get the bandages changed and to be looked at.
I went by this evening expecting only a little improvement. The swelling had really lessened. He was beginning to look like and act like himself already. What a powerful thing love is!
Thank you for your prayers!

Oh my heart just feels so sad looking at these pictures. Little ones like this don’t understand what is happening. Thank God they are so resilient!! I pray he heals quickly, and feels better soon!! I am sure this has all been a strain on you and his parents. Prayers are for him—-and for you! Hugs.
I came over from Mimi’s site–bless his little heart. Wow those are some burns–Things like that happen so fast. I hope he does well and is up and running in no time
Stopping by from Mimiwi’s site too. Poor little guy, I hope he heals fast. He is in our thoughts.
I am also in the parade from Mimi’s site. I will be praying for him also. Hugs to all
What a little sweetheart. Sending prayers and warmth to him and all of his family.
I also came from Mimiwi’s site. It always amazes me how children are so resilient. Sending prayers for continued recovery.
Ditty on Mimi’s site… I will add your family and this special little guy to my prayers. What a little trooper… It pains me to see him in pain, but I do hope that he heals as well as he can and soon be out of any pain at all from this.
Poor little Alexander. Prayers for him and his parents as it has to be as hard on them to see him suffer.
This is frightening but all seems going in the good way now . I hope he wont have scars .
I think also of the parents and you . What a shock !
Love
