We just got back from a little vacation to Driggs. We try to go each year with my family and take some time to go skiing at Targhee (well, some of us ski). Anyway, we couldn't just start out our vacation without some kind of excitement, so we began with a trip to the Driggs ER. Corgin pulled a bowl of hot, almost boiling, water down on him and burned his arm. We hurried and stripped off his jammies and put him in cold water. He didn't like that much, so we ended up wrapping his arm in snow. We filled his sippy cup with pop and tried to cool his arm as much as we could.
He wasn't sure of the ice pack at first.
We took the snow off and saw this huge blister forming, so we decided it was time to take him where he could get some better help. The ER in Driggs was the fastest we've ever been taken care of and they did a good job.
They wrapped his arm and sent us home with medicine for the pain and an antibiotic cream for the blister if it broke (which the dr. was sure it would with a wild little two year old). Here is Corgin showing us his big "bandaid" the next morning.
He begged to have nakey time, so we let him play for a little while. Besides the bandage on his arm, we wouldn't have known he was hurt. He was a happy little boy.
We even found time to go play in the snow. Corgin kept begging to go shovel snow. However, the shovel was soon abandoned and funner things were found.
Corgin and his grandma went on a little sled ride.
When Corgin came in, he begged to go play some more. Of course, grandma and grandpa had to give in to this cute little boy who almost always says please.
So, he got some rides on the fourwheeler.
Grandma, Jake, and grandpa all took him on rides. He absolutely loved it.
He came in and wanted more rides, but I had to be the bad guy and tell him no more. His little cheeks and nose were starting to get really cold and probably a little wind burned. He was having a lot of fun though, and the cold didn't bother him.
The dr. told us that his burn would look the worst within 24 hours and then start to look better. This is how it looked the next day when we changed his bandage. It looked pretty bad. Today it is looking much better. We are happy about that.
We had a fun and exciting little get away. Thanks to my parents for setting it up and for our family that let us use their cabin. We appriciate it and can't wait until next year.

Grandma Merri always makes me feel better when I'm hurt too. I'm so glad it wasn't any worse, and he seems to be ok, Whew!!
Oh, sweet Corgin -- we felt so bad when we heard about the accident. He is an amazing little boy, seems to not complain or raise too much fuss. We hope his burn is healing good and that it will leave no lasting scaring.
Hugs & kisses to our tough little Corgin -- we love you little man!!!!
