Just because it was the same campsite where Rebekah fell in the fire three years ago, doesn't mean that we needed to have another accident there.
On Friday evening while preparing dinner, Sam tripped and fell in the campfire. Luckily it was just ashes where he landed but even then after seeing the skin coming off on his palm, we decided it was going to need an ER visit.
After a quick blessing (screaming all the way) and bandaging and an hour long drive through the canyon we arrived at the Price hospital. Sam was too tired to cry by then and we even got him laughing while waiting for the doctor.
Luckily they were only 2nd degree burns and he wasn't worried about the black plastic that had attached itself to his thumb on one hand. We wrapped them up, covered them with latex gloves and went back up the mountain.
By the following morning, you couldn't even tell he was hurt. He was completely back to normal and running around throwing rock and playing in the dirt.
This is after two days in gloves so he is a little wrinkled.
Sorry about the gore.

Poor guy! I got 2nd degree burns from a sunburn one year...no fun.
So sorry that happened! Burns are NOT fun! And while you were camping... Hope he's feeling better!
