Baby finally showing improvement after accident involving boiling water | Parent24
One-year-old Denay Kuhn, from Arniston in the Western Cape, fell into a bath full of hot water more than three months ago and sustained second- and third-degree burns. She’s been on a ventilator ever since the accident.For weeks doctors administered several types of antibiotics in an effort to cure the infection but Myrtle said none of it worked.
On Tuesday, Denay was taken into theatre to clean her wounds. Myrtle, who’s by her baby’s side every day, says the doctor told her it’s the first time Denay’s condition remained stable throughout the procedure. The young mom had boiled bathwater on the stove after the family’s geyser broke, so the water was scalding hot when Denay fell in. Myrtle had turned around to get a towel and in that moment, the toddler tumbled into the water. A neighbour rushed them to hospital.
