My poor little Rowdy turned one on April 3rd, and since then has had maybe the worst 2 weeks ever!
It all started 2 days after his birthday, it was Saturday morning and we where having pancakes with Grandma and Grandpa, when Rowdy crawled over and grabbed the pilot light on their fire place.
He spend the weekend in the Phoenix Burn and Truama Center where they took great care of him. He has 3rd degree burns on 3 of his fingers, and has lost most of the skin on his index finger...we are just so happy that he was able to come home with all 10 of his little fingers. But it has been so hard to watch him in pain, he has a ton of healing to do but everyday it gets a little better.
Jimmy and I are getting really good at changing his "dressing" on his hand. I have even made it threw a few changings without crying.
Tuesday morning we took him up to the burn clinic to see the doctor, when truma number 2 started! On our way up Rowdy started throwing up, by Tuesday night he had a tempeture of 102.7 and we ended up taking him to a pediatic Urgent Care, only to find out that he has the stomach flu!
He has had a high temp. now for a couple of days, and isn't able to keep any of his food down at all. Our biggest problem is he keep throwing up on his hand, that can't get wet!
Yesterday I took him to his doctor and we where waiting for him to come check him, when I decided it was time to have a little talk with him. Our conversation went something like this...
"Rowdy your one years old now welcome to reality! Life isn't about laying around drinking formula, and pooping your pants all day, things are going to be ruff, it's how you deal with it that counts!"
And just so everyone knows he is dealing with everything amazingly! He is much much stronger then his mommy! But together we are all dealing with this truma...we are just so thankful for everyone who has been praying for him, and thinking of us!

That is so sad! The poor little guy and poor you! I hope everything heals up well and he feels NO PAIN!
We pray for him daily! Hope he feels better soon.
Poor little Rowdy. I think his name might end up suiting him just fine!!! I've had a couple burns on my kids, and they are the worst. You really can't do much about their pain, and that is the worst part I think!!! I hope he gets well soon, it sounds like he's on the way! Oh yeah, I'm glad you had the "talk" with him, he was getting a little out of hand, with the crying and pooping and stuff!
I am so sorry that poor Rowdy had to go through all that pain. I really think it is the worst when little kids vomit because they don't understand what the heck is going on. I am so excited he is one and getting bigger every day, I will have to bring Gavin over to have another (longer) play date. Or we could do what we always seem to plan but never do, have a day at my house.
Well I am glad he is okay now and if there is anything I can do for you let me know.
Heidi--it's your cousin Brooke--found you through Amy's blog. I feel so bad for Rowdy--he is darling! Hope he gets better soon!
