A few months ago I shared my story about my daughters horrendous accident. She got caught in a petrol explosion and received 50 % burns. She spent 2 months in intensive care. I thought I'd share an update.
It's been 8 hard months but she's doing brilliantly. Her scars are maturing well. She needs loads of care
: moisturising and massage, silicon dressings and pressure garments. She wears these head to toe including a balaclava. Being out and about is hard due to then stares butmi'm getting used to these now. She's been extremely itchy and sleeps very badly because of this. However even this is improving and for the last 2 nights she slept through. A first since her accident. She had some steroid injections which seem to have helped.
She had developed clots whilst in itu and I was having to inject her twice a day with cleaner ( a type of warfarin). The clots are stable so it was a huge relief to stop having to do this before Christmas.
She's going in for more surgery in June to regraft her right hand and straighten her fingers. They'll also laser her large hypertrophic scar and treat with recell (spray on skin).
Life has been tough butnshe's a happy little girl most the time. It's been tough for me but maybe sharing her wonderful progress with a bunch of strangers with be helpful!
