28-10-2009 - Update on my brave Ava\'s tootsies

My mood while writing this blog: Scared/worried

---

Hi fellow mommies, hope you are all well.
I had Ava back at the hospital today and it was good and bad news, Her right foot is healing pretty well but her left foot, little middle toe is ulcerated and will more than likely need skin graft. My poor baby, I just want it to be me and not her soooooooooooo badly. I have to bring her back to the hosp on friday and they will decide then what needs to be done. A million things are going through my head all at once like - I am so so so so grateful it wasnt worse but I still keep thinking what if and its driving me mad.......like what if I hadnt taken her babygro off when I did...oh my god. also smaller things like -will my baby hate her feet when she is older and not want to wear any cute flip flops or strappy shoes?- Will her nail grow back or will she always be missing one, and then she wont be able to paint her toes all pretty coz she feels her feet are ugly?- Oh god I so wish she makes a full recovery from this, the thoughts of my baby having to have skin grafts makes me wanna scream.

Also to all of you concerned mommas who think I should sue, the plumber is actually a family member and is devastated, I doubt any amount of sueing or punishment will make him feel any worse than he already does so we have decided to not take any action against him but have spread the word to everyone we know with kids of the dangers and hope this never happens to a child again.

I am just sooooo exhausted, havent been sleeping well and Ava has had mostly broken sleep too, but you know what she has kept on smiling, she is the bravest little girl and we are so proud of her.

Thank you all sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for your kind wishes and I will let you know how Ava gets on Friday. Kisses Tina xoxoxoxo

Hugs to you hon. We will all be keeping you and your sweet baby in our hearts and prayers. No matter what, she is going to be a gorgeous girl. A friend of mine who could model if she wanted to, has a big scar on the top of her foot because back when we were kids, my father was giving us a ride on a riding lawn mower, and when she thought the ride was over, she went to get off and he accidently ran over her foot. It basically tore the top of her foot off down to the bone. 25 years later, she just laughs about it and says it gives her character. If anyone ever asks about it, she knows she's got an interesting story to tell. So, please, know that lil Ava will be just fine. She is going to be breathtaking because her mama is, and she is going to be a confident child no matter what because that will be her character because her parents are so outstanding. Accidents happen all the time and she will know that. But I would feel exactly the same way you do. And my heart truly goes out to you. You are an extremely strong and loving mother. And I have lots of faith that this incident will only make your family stronger and alert, for not only yourselfs but those that are in contact with you!!! I know, I've learned a lot through this!!!! God bless!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for Ava that all will be well on Friday. Please dont think the worst as babies are amazing at healing I know from experience with my younger sister. Sorry to hear that the guy was a family member but he should have been more careful with chemicals of that nature I know no one would ever mean to do this and it is awful for all concerned. I will say a prayer for Ava tonight and ask her angel to be with her and mind her. You are one brave lady and I wish you all the best. XXX
