Hi! My name is Beary.
I burned my skin on something hot, so my grownup brought me to the hospital.
When skin gets burned, it needs to be cleaned and covered up so that it can get better.
First, my nurse gave me a little medicine to drink. I didn't like the taste, but it didn't last long. It helped me feel calm and relaxed.
My doctor started by taking off the bandage that was already covering my skin. They used a bit of cold water to help it come off easier.
Then my doctor cleaned my skin to make all the germs go away. They used soapy water and a cloth to gently rub my skin. It felt cold and wet.
My skin looked pink where it was burned.
Then my doctor used a new cloth to dry my skin.
Once my skin was dry, my doctor covered it up with three bandages.
I felt a little scared to have my dressing changed, but my grownup gave me a big hug and helped me to take big breaths. My nurse told me that I did a great job staying as still as a statue!
