Maddox's accident

For those of you who don't know the story, here it goes:
We were at lunch at the Honey Baked Ham store in Kenwood. Garrett was paying after he dropped the food off at the table. I had Maddox on my lap getting ready to feed him. Carson was sitting beside me.
My soup was in a basket (like a hot dog/hamburger basket, paper type) along with my sandwich. I noticed Maddox was inching to get to it, so I moved it back further on the table.
In the meantime, Carson asked me to open his pop for him. I leaned up very little to open the pop when Maddox started screaming.
He had grabbed onto the basket and pulled it down enough to where some of the soup spilled onto his hand.
Instantly his skin began peeling back. We were PANICKED. Garrett called 9-1-1 while I had his hand in water (as paramedics told us to do till they got there). They rushed him to Children's. Children's detemined he had 2nd degree burns around the top of his left hand (not his fingers...thank GOD he's got feeling, etc. in his hands/fingers, etc.) and around his wrist where his long sleeve shirt caught the majority of soup from crawling further up his arms, so his wrists had large bubbles.
Garrett took Carson in the car to Children's (he was only about 5 min. behind them......he was QUICK)
In the ambulance they were able to get gauze around him while he was screaming the ENTIRE time.(of course). I held the oxygen mask near his face, not around him, to calm him.
Children's referred us to Shriner's Hospital. They are the most amazing hospital around. I loved every bit of our experience there. They determined 2nd degree burns throughout as well. There is one part around his wrist that is a tad bit white, but not too bad.
They cleaned him up very good and showed us how to as well. We have to clean him up and put medicine on him and wrap with gauze 2x a day right now.
We have to go to clinicals there on Friday where they will see how well he's healing. This is when they will determine if he will need skin graphing done. They truly don't think he's going to need any of that or surgery based on what they saw. But won't know till Friday.
We will determine from there how much longer he will need to be wrapped up.Maddox is 5 1/2 months, so you can only imagine what he's been going through. For those who showed up at the hospital and those who prayed throughout the entire thing, thank you. He's really recovering okay. He needs to take tylenol with codeine 1/2 hr. prior to his cleanings because of the pain it causes.

He slept very well his first night. Got up at 1:30 and 6:45, and no crying in the meantime. We are praying for quick recovery for our little guy and we will need you all to help out as well. The picture Garrett took on his phone is attached of the top of his hand. It was much more red than the pic shows.I just burst into tears at Children's when the nurse unwrapped the gauze. It was so devastating to watch. You never want your children to be in pain. It was aweful.
From the time we got to the hospital he was all smiles. He hadn't had medicine, bottle...nothing. Everyone was wondering how he was so happy with what had just happened. He's in good spirits.

Please just pray for him. He's such a trooper through everything and we hope he stays this way.
