2nd degree burns

[ryedalema]

Hi Ruth - I just wanted to say that that Doctor was horrid making you feel like that. About this time last year we bought bunk beds and put Big C on the top bunk - naively thinking the guard rails were high enough and her mature enough, but lo and behold she stage dived off the top bunk and broke her arm.

Buggie actually, and all at Kings looked after us marvellously - but it was also followed up by a visit from a health worker who made me feel the way you did/do - like we'd done this on purpose. That the house was an accident waiting to happen etc etc. It made me feel so so bad.

Someone shortly afterwards told me that they have to make you feel that way so that they can judge that actually you are a good mother and not someone uncaring or irresponsible. I guess a lot of the people they meet fall into that other category and they have to be really sure that the child is and will be ok.

Don't feel bad - accidents are exactly what they say. Baby Seb is a lovely bonny boy and he'll more than likely know nothing about this as he grows up with you xx
