L was attempting to make Halloween-inspired candles for her teachers and spilled some wax onto her thigh. She was wearing shorts, so it immediately hit her skin and burned her. We put some burn cream on it and after a couple of days took her to see the doctor, who wiped away the dead skin, put on some antibiotic cream and wrapped it back up. She gave us a prescription for the cream and told L to wash and dress it twice a day. L also got a doctor's note to skip swimming for two weeks, which will take her to the end of her swimming unit. She was pretty ecstatic about that. The doctor said she could have a mark on her leg for about a year, but doesn't think it will permanently scar.
