My Little Birdie

So I am sure that everyone is wondering...what the devil happened and what are they gonna do and how is she doing? Well I will tell ya...

As most know my oldest 2 are potty training. I went and took jr and nene to potty and discovered that nene (who rarely has accidents) had an accident. I stripped her down (all the while my water was on to boil) got her some new jammies. then i sent nene to the livingroom and went to the kitchen and poured a mason jar of boiling water and threw a teabag in it and headed to the livingroom. well i set the glass down on the table between the chairs and starting getting nene dressed. as i was pulling her panties up zz came around me...stood up and tipped the glass all over her. I scrame as loud as i could for jonathan to come help me and we stripped her down as fast as we could and we seen her skin was falling over...hubby wrapped her in the snuggie and ran as quickly as he could (being on ice) and asked his momma what we are supposed to do. her papaw wrapped a cold towel around her and we rushed her to the hospital. Stephen and papaw watched the oldest 2 and off we went. She is burnt from her neck to the top of her hootie. the whole front. And on half of her right arm.

Once at the hospital in a matter of 5 minutes (she dumped it on her around 10:55 pm and we were at the hospital at 11 pm) they rushed her to the ER and discovered that she was dehydrated and body temp was low...yes it happened that fast...she was like a nasty gray color. well by the time they got her to CVICU where she received 24 hour care from midnight sunday night til 11 am tuesday morning. Angel One came and airlifted her to Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. They tried to get her right away but with the bad weather they couldn't drive by ambulance or airlift her. But the El Dorado doctors and nurses stayed on the phone and found out what the best thing to do for her. They ordered some special gauze from the pharmacy and bandaged and wraped her up. then bundled her up. They forced a cathedar in so that they could monitor her fluid and after MANY MANY MANY iv's they finally called an anastheisiolgist (or however you spell that) in and put a central line in in her juggler artery. All of her veins kept blowing. They tried all of these areas: both hands...both arms, both wrists, both feet on the top, both feet in the heel, in her groin, and even in the top of her hootie...and they all went bad in an hour or less...and that was how they were trying to give her fluids but they couldnt draw her blood. So the man came in and put it in her neck.

She was set to go. Hubby had to go to work (yes even after being up all night and the day before too) at 4:30 in the morning because they couldnt get a replacement in the bad weather. So me and Squish (my mother in law) stayed up all night in the CVICU and waiting room. After they got her out of critical condition (but critical enough to need 24 hour care) they allowed squish to come in the CVICU room with me and we both got to stay in there and when hubby got off he came in there for a few minutes then went home to nap in case we were able to go to to childrens and he had to drive. well it ended up that the weather was just too bad and they put it off till tuesday.

Well we home and got some sleep after they set her up in the NICU with her private nurse. ( i was up for over 40 hours straight and squish and hubby didnt get much sleep either if any).

Tuesday morning the nurse called and said that angel flight was on their way to come get my daughter (which by the way her real name is Faithe-Makenzie Jazzlyn Love or ZZ or birdie as her nicknames...) So off we go...we kissed the oldest 2 bye and we went to the hospital (they are doing good they are with the in-laws). We signed the papersm they doped her up on morphine and off they went. We follwed behind them in the van. They called us as we were still driving to tell us that she made it safely and was playing with a toy helicopter. We were like YES!



We get to the hospital and find out that this toy helicopter is a stuffed helicopter that mimicks angel one and is half the size of her. LOL. But she loves that toy. we were picturing a hot wheels size helicopter but nope lol.

Here after waiting a few hours we talk to the burn doctors and they tell us that she will be ok with no permanent damage or scarring. Also the burn were mostly 2nd degree but a few spots are 3rd degree. She cant have anything to eat or drink after 2 am. They are supposed to come in around 9 in the morning and sedate her then take to go scrape off the dead skin and medicate them and bandage them. From there they will take her to recovery. We will stay here til Wednesday and they will change her bandages. We will get to go home if everything goes good. Then a week later we will come back childrens and they will change her bandages. Then go home and come back in another week for checkup...do this until they clear her. They said it will take about 2 weeks to heal so we shouldnt have to take a trip more than 3 times if i understand right. And depending on how quickly she heals. She has played a little after they give her morphine so it knocks the pain out quickly. And it just breaks my heart to see her in so much pain and tears streaming down her beautiful face...





Well I am super tired and im gonna go and try to get some rest. Thank you all for your many many many prayers. Hubby has to go home around 4 wednesday afternoon because he has to work thursday thru sunday. He will come back up her monday and tuesday. so please pray for travel safety for him. and my father in law is bringing my mother in law to stay with me while They are also gonna travel with the oldest 2 and i believe my brother in law and sister in law for a visit. the babies cant see her but i will get to go see them while papaw and mamaw stay with birdie and visit. Oh how i miss my babies. Goodnight and i will update when i can.
