Chad's Burns

Many of you may already know that Chad and 2 other Mission Lazarus men were burned on Thursday night while unloading a container. Everyone is healing, but still in a lot of pain. Thank you for your kind words through e-mail and mostly for the prayers on their behalf. This is going to be a long recovery, but God is with us and will comfort us through it.

Here are some pictures of Chad's burns. Please try not to get sick.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!! Your accident was announced at church and my stomach sank. In December, I had a terrible accident and crawled away w/ second degree burns on my abdomen and thigh. I was limping around for weeks. Our class is praying for your relief. I hope you have some connection to good medical advice. I allowed some of the skin of the blisters to peel too soon. BIG mistake. When they're full, use a sterile needle or pin(just burn or boil it) to delicately pierce one side of the blister, then carefully drain the fluid, but KEEP THE SKIN to protect the new skin below. On the places I did this, I had less scarring and no infection. Of course once anything becomes open or oozes, you MUST keep it covered - especially when working in dirty or dusty areas like the farm or office. Find some aloe or unscented lotion to keep the area moist (until anything opens)and wash often. Good luck and we have you guys in mind, as always. (I like the blog page you've set up!)
Over and out - Dr. Quinn.
