Prayers and good thoughts needed

Ouch!! Prayers for healing.

Yikes!!! Healing prayers on the way from WA (as an aside, aloe & vitamin E are both very good burn-healing agents, as is calendula creme) Feel free to email me privately if you want more info on good herbal healing stuff.

So glad you've reported back to us, Irene, on your precious daughter. I've been so concerned about her burns. Burns (and skin grafts if it comes to that) are mighty tough to bear. Even the thought of cleaning a burn makes me gasp. Hard to breathe and think about it. Sending hugs (without touching) and deep sympathy and holding you both close in our prayers, Polly

My prayer list has grown considerably since joining this group but am always happy to pray for anyone. I consider it an honor that people will ask us to pray for them. My prayers are with your daughter that she may not suffer much pain and for a speedy recovery that does not involve skin grafts. Just remember the Lord doesn't put anymore on us than we can handle. Although this past year I have wished He didn't have so much confidence in me. :)

Gentle hugs and love headed her way from myself and my racer chicks. Race injuries are no fun at all.

Ouch..... the poor thing! Sending healing thoughts her way, and hoping for the best possible outcome on the skin graft.

Nasty, nasty... Prayers on the way. Those gel pac things can work miracles.

She saw the doctor again today who has decided the large burn is not healing as well as he'd like it to. He's given her gel-type packs to put on it for the next week (she also cleans it twice a day) which makes it a little harder for her to walk. In a week he'll make up his mind about her needing a skin graft.

She's a great kid and really doesn't want to have this surgery.Scars are not an issue for her she wants to get past this, as school has started up again and she's back at her college studies.

Please send good thoughts her way that her leg heals well and the surgery isn't needed.

Thanks, my friends.

We did figure out what happened, air in the coolant hose created too much pressure. A freak accident, they were changing motors all weekend. DH has constructed a steel barrier around it so should it ever come off again the hot coolant won't get on the driver. Sigh......

Sure will be praying for her here, Irene. Do keep us posted.

I wonder if I could also add a prayer request for my DD. Two weekends ago she received very nasty burns on both of her legs when the coolant line came undone from her race car while she was doing hot laps. 2nd degree burns. Very nasty thank goodness they had EMTs there and an ambulance. Of course we ended up in the emergency room. One burn in particular is quite large, about the size of a man's hand. She's had a difficult couple of weeks, besides the pain and nausea, but she's been taking care of them and doing exactly what the plastic surgeon has instructed.

Burns can be nasty - I know. Hope all heals well for her.

Dear God. Prayers and gentle healing vibes on the way for DD. I hope she will heal and be ok very soon. Jeanbaby

(((((hugs)))))

if it's any consolation: I got really, really nasty burns on both my legs from the knee to my toes from hot butter in a pan on a camp cooker when I was 12 or 13 - I got cooled with water and taken to the hospital - the blister got opened while swimming in the sea (doc said it was ok as it cooled the wound if I swam) and it went nasty on us - but the initial cooling, later treatments from the French doc (green gooey stuff) did help well - it just took time. the next summer the scars were still visible in the shape of white marks where I was burnt but after 4 weeks in France they scars were all but gone and a year after that you would never have thought that I had been so badly burnt

I hope your DD heals as well as I did!

I hope all goes well for her, Irene!

Irene, My prayers are with DD. Hugs, Pami

((((((HUGS)))))) for your DD. Hope she heals safely and quickly and can get back in the groove at school. What a horrible way to spend the last of summer vacation! ME-Judy

Irene, I'm sending hugs and prayers to your DD and your family for a speedy recovery. I hope she is better soon and has no scarring. Best of luck.

Hugs, Mika
