Hi and welcome Randi, I'm so sorry to hear about Alex that must have been very frightening. There has been another little boy in the newspaper down here and the boy will have to wear some kind of brace for 23/24 hours for the next two years to keep him from scarring  is that where Alex is at also? 90% burns sounds pretty awful. How is he doing?-------------  |

welcome to ohbaby randi, i only wish the circumstances were a little better for you.
my heart went out to you guys when gwen told us about alex. would you mind sharing a few details about how it happened? i think we are all a little disturbed about all the media attention on flammable fabrics that has been going on lately. i so hope alex has no recovery problems, and will come through this as quick as is possible. is there anything you guys are needing at the moment - magazines, books, toys? something to do while in hospital and to help distract alex? i hope you and your husband are getting plenty of support yourselves at the moment, it is going to be a long time for you, and emotionally draining until you have a clearer idea of how alex is going to recover. ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe - my big 4 year old

Hope things go well with the Drs tomorrow, its going to be a long journey, but I expect that the Drs & Nurses at Starship are being nice and supportive and providing lots of good information.

Hi Randi. I was so sorry to hear what happened to your little man! It's pretty scary to think that can even happen! I read yesterday that they can put the low fire risk tag on pretty much anything but the worst category of clothing which is shocking!
My thoughts are with you and your family. Big Hugs going out to Alex. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
