A Day of Mishaps!

When we reached home today, Ah Ma told us that you touched the hot cup which was soaking (warming) your milk. She's not too sure if you'd dipped your finger into the water or you had just touched the side of the cup. But she was remembered clearly that you had yelled and cried for quite a while. Wonder if it's the shock from touching the hot cup, or you were really scalded.

Worried that you may have a blister from the hot water, Ah Ma soaked your finger in cold tea. Never knew that this was the remedy for scalding/burns. But I do know that your not supposed to put the scalded area under water or else you will get a blister. I did a little research on home burn remedies, looks like we can also apply toothpaste, honey or even aloe vera on the burns to relieve the pain and reduce swellings and blisters too. Anyhow, when we went home, daddy checked your fingers, and it was all ok. No blisters *phew*

Then mummy took you upstairs for your bath. Daddy bathed you today. You went downstairs after that for your dinner of ikan bilis moi. While waiting for mummy to get everything ready, daddy accompanied you at the dining table and he fed you some water. All of sudden your face turned red and you looked like you were choking! You were gagging, but no sound came from you. Daddy tried patting you but to no avail. So in the end he quickly removed you from the high chair and put you over his shoulder and gave you a few pats on you back. Finally, you splattered some water out, and you happily made your "oo ooo" noises again. *double phew*


What a scary day. Luckily you were all right from these 2 "adventures" of the day.

Toothpaste works for burns - I've tried it before.

What a day of mis-adventures for dear Evan :)

We used to have some silver burn cream (or called something like that), but that's for adults la. It was recommended by a friend who's a nurse.
