Poor little Owen had a rough first week of November. On the Monday (the 1st) we were out after work with him in the jogging stroller and he managed to stick his hand out the front and touch the tire as the stroller was moving. The moving tire burned a patch about 3/4-inch long and 1/4-inch wide on the top of his hand below his thumb. On Wednesday morning he started to not feel well, got a fever and got sent home from school. Not being fever free for 24 hours, Owen and Dad stayed home Thursday. While Dad was putting lunch (one of Owen's favorites, chicken nuggets and mini tator tots) in the oven, Owen walked over to investigate, lost his balance and and tried to catch himself by putting his on the hot, open oven door. Jed caught him right was he put his hand down and knocked him backwards but the fraction of a second he touched the door was enough to burn his hand. He had a blister on the palm of his hand a little smaller than a quarter, a tiny blister on each of his finger tips, and a small blister just below his wrist. Friday went better, although Owen was still home recovering from the fever but on Saturday, Owen broke open his burn blister while playing in the dog door. All this just before his 1st birthday. Fortunately, his string of bad luck only lasted about a week
