3 Days after it happened
Healing
Almost a month to the day...Lookin good thanks to Mederma!Let me tell you how this happened...The last week we had at the Jewelry Store, Tuesday Terell was sick so he was home. I took the girls to work with me. I was helping a customer and McKinley grabbed a little bottle of the shelf that's nitric acid, we use it to test gold. She thought it was eye drops because I had Rory's girls the previous week and they had pink eye so I was putting drops in their eyes. So she aimed for her eye and it dripped on her cheek and she panicked and squeezed the bottle. I rushed her to the sink thinking it was in her eye too. Then once I rinsed her good I took her to the ER in Springerville. They washed her and washed and washed. They were on the phone with the burn unit in Phx and they were telling them what to do. Well they insisted we air-vac her down there. So we took a ride in a airplane to Phx. The nurses in the ER did more than the burn unit. And I'm serious! They loaded her up with a baby doll, a coloring page, slippers, and even a cute blanket! They also loaded her up with morphine and benadryl to sleep on the airplane but it didn't work. She talked to the EMTs the whole time. The guys at the burn unit said it's the only kind of acid that doesn't go into the blood stream and damage your organs, also if she would have gotten it in her eye she would probably be blind. My Aunt Sheryl lives close by so she came and picked us up. We stayed the night at her house so Terell wouldn't have to drive while he was not feeling good. He got to Taylor to pick up his mom and they had already let us go. So the next morning Uncle Danny and Aunt Maudine drove us to Payson to meet Terell. Thanks to them for the ride and hospitality. Now she's healing and back to her honry self!
