This is neither a quirky nor funny post.

As we were packing up to leave our holiday to get back to home and work, I left a cup of coffee unsupervised and Ben pulled it own all over himself. I had him in the bath under cold running water in about 20 seconds but even so he got 2nd degree burns to his face, chest and arm. It was probably one of the most traumatic experiences I've had in a long long time. I think I can count the number of time I have cried since I was 10 on one hand, but driving at 140km to the hospital was one of them.

Fortunately the skin under the burns is still in pretty good condition so hopefully it won't scar or get infected. We have to go each day for the next week or two to get the dressings changed and to put more cream on.

Please pray for the little guy - although he is his usual happy self our hearts are breaking.
