I took the cookies out of the oven (yes, Jack was next to me), and I placed the extremely hot (350*) sheet on the counter, away from the edge. Jack immediately reach up, which he as never done before, to get one. I thought I had grabbed his arm just in time, and put his hand in mine to try to sooth his crying. When I looked down, his skin from his wrist was coming off, and it looked really bad. The rest of the night, he kept his arm far away from anything and everything. Even the next day, he wouldn't use his right arm. I would try to hand him his water bottle and he would reply "mom, I can't hold it". Then he would tip his face forward and open his mouth. He is hysterical. Here's to the "Mother of the Year Award".

I am so sorry Ashlee and know how you must feel. I remember Charles when he got burned around our campfire and then Randy picked up my hot curling iron when he was little. Accidents happen so quickly. Have you thought of putting a Cool Jel burn pad on it? They soothe, heal and take all the pain away.
