Severely Burned
 

Our fellow member Daryl Middlebrook grandson was severely burned on his feet a couple days ago and is undergoing skin grafts Wednesday in Rochester NY Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers! If that was not enough he lost his long time companion Raven the lab Monday. When it rains sometimes it pours Thank you Gary

My thoughts and prayers will be with Daryl's grandson. Thanks for letting us know Gary.

That is terrible news. It's one thing when something like that happens to an adult but it's doubly bad when it happens to a child...

My thoughts and prayers to those affected.

Linda and I will be thinking of your grandson, Daryl. We are slowly getting over the loss of a grandson two weeks ago. Situations like these never get any easier.

Hi Gary,

Consider it done.. Daryl's grandson is in Jen's and my thoughts and prayers... Please pass on our posts and keep the rest of us updated on how he is doing, OK?

My best always,

John

tell darrel we are rooting for him... charlie

Thoughts and prayers. Will pass on to my moms prayer chain.

What is the boy's name and how old is he? He is in our prayers as well as the rest of the family.

Bill, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.

Gary: Please tell Daryl that we are all praying for him and his Grandson. Young people often recover faster than us old folks. Bill we are praying for you too in your loss.

God Bless

prayers for Daryl's grandson for a good recovery and also for Bill and his family. Godspeed Calvin

I would like to thank all of you for your kind words and prayers. My grandson Reece is 6 years old and in surgery as I write this. The bottom of his left foot was burned as a result of him running thru some hot coals that were left over from a chicken barbeque at the local firemans field the day before.

I cannot express how much it means to me knowing that you all are praying and pulling for Reece. Thank you so very very much for your kind thoughts and words.

I read this forum almost every day. However, for some reason I am unable to log on at home. So I am unable to participate in daily discussions. This message is being sent from another computer.---Again, thank you all.

I'm so sorry to learn of your grandson's accident. I've heard of that exact situation a few times before (live coals from cooking) and burned feet... so sad that it happened Daryl. Many of us feel the anguish you must feel as we have kids and grandkids in that age group.

Best, Dean

Here's hoping and praying for your grandson's full and speedy recovery.

BURNS
A young man sprinkling his lawn and bushes with pesticides wanted to check the contents of the barrel to see how much pesticide remained in it. He raised the cover and lit his lighter; the vapors inflamed and engulfed him. He jumped from his truck, screaming. His neighbor came out of her house with a dozen eggs, yelling: "bring me some eggs!" She broke them, separating the whites from the yolks. The neighbor woman helped her to apply the whites on the young man's face. When the ambulance arrived and when the EMTs saw the young man, they asked who had done this. Everyone pointed to the lady in charge. They congratulated her and said: "You have saved his face." By the end of the summer, the young man brought the lady a bouquet of roses to thank her. His face was like a baby's skin.
Healing Miracle for burns:
Keep in mind this treatment of burns which is included in teaching beginner fireman this method. First aid consists to spraying cold water on the affected area until the heat is reduced and stops burning the layers of skin. Then, spread egg whites on the affected area.
One woman burned a large part of her hand with boiling water. In spite of the pain, she ran cold faucet water on her hand, separated 2 egg white from the yolks, beat them slightly and dipped her hand in the solution. The whites then dried and formed a protective layer.
She later learned that the egg white is a natural collagen and continued during at least one hour to apply layer upon layer of beaten egg white. By afternoon she no longer felt any pain and the next day there was hardly a trace of the burn. 10 days later, no trace was left at all and her skin had regained its normal color. The burned area was totally regenerated thanks to the collagen in the egg whites, a placenta full of vitamins.
This information could be helpful to everyone: Please pass it on

Grandson Reece is now home and recovering well. His right foot is all but recovered. It will take some time for the grafts to take hold and for his left foot to heal up completely. In the meantime he has a minature walker that he has learned to operate successfully. He is getting arount the house at a faster rate than his mother approves of. She is spending a good deal of effort trying to slow him down.----It is a loosing battle I am afraid.

Thank you all for your thoughts, comments and prayers. Good friends are really important in times like these and y'all showed your colors. Thank You again.

Daryl, that is very refreshing news!! Kids bounce back so easily it seems. Thanks for brightening our day.

Glad he's doing well Daryl. If only us older folks could recover from such things as fast, eh? The egg white thing is new to me. I do the same thing with aloe gel from the plants.

Daryl, that is great news.....Funny his Mom is already trying to slow him down but like you said I am sure that is a "losing battle !". Eric

Great news Daryl. The little guys often have to find the limits the hard way.

Daryl, As others have said this is great news! Good luck trying to slow the lad down....Believe me I know....:rolleyes:

This is great news, Daryl. It's good to hear he is at full speed.
