Baking mishap

After church on Sunday, Thomas was going to go visit some cousins in town for Christmas. He thought he would make up a quick batch of peanut brittle before heading out. Oops. He burnt the peanut brittle and poured the hot candy all over his hands. Then we couldn't get it off. I tried putting oils on his hands but I could tell he was still in tons of pain. It wasn't calming down like Hayden's had before. We decided he needed to go in.

Julie came over and took him. Good thing we did. He had really bad second degree burns. Blistering and painful. He was prescribed pain meds, ointments and we have to wrap and apply meds a couple of times a day. Poor guy. He's a  good sport. Although he decided he was done with Christmas baking. 

Good news- he was able to get a couple extra days off for Christmas with Hayden and me. And we loved that. It's so great to have him home.
