00:00my face was then on fire like one day i feel like i'm getting better and then something like this
00:05happens it brings me down i was all alone free mommy night i had like a couple hours alone
00:10got a little cup of gas maybe this much and i poured it on top of our fire pit i lit a piece
00:18of cardboard i threw it into the fire pit at that point the fire i remember it going up in the sky
00:25and it just went like a huge circle and unfortunately i was standing right there
00:30my face was then on fire but despite her worries the significant amount of progress her face made
00:35shocked her so i started to have hives all over my legs all over my belly i'm having these red
00:41tiny little dots on my chest that hurts so bad it was just a really rough one today i'm just really
00:49confused on why this is happening to me like one day i feel like i'm getting better and then something
00:54like this happens and it just it brings me down man but she's determined to get her old face back
01:01i'm literally so thankful i honestly thought the rest of my summer i would be in bandages and creams
01:08and just stuck inside but i'm doing this i am literally healing so fast i am pushing myself every
01:16day to take care of myself and i have to say i'm pretty proud of myself i literally cannot believe
01:21the progress so what did she do that was big enough to change the course of her fate i had to
01:27run into my daughter's toddler pool and i splashed my face in water i then called 9-1-1 for help it was
01:34like a 15 minute wait for anyone to come to help the fire department and an ambulance pulled up i just
01:42remember my hand reaching out for help and i had to wait for a room for a while the two emts that i had
01:48with me kept telling me that they weren't leaving me and but what was the full extent of her injuries
01:53after this catastrophic event i ended up getting seen and they told me that i have second degree
01:59burns on my skin unfortunately because my neck is so bad i had to get checked out to make sure like
02:07nothing was closing like my lungs i had this little tube that went down my nose got to see like what what
02:14the camera was showing in the nose it was pretty uncomfortable all she knew for sure was that her
02:20recovery wasn't going to be an easy one the doctors basically said like this is definitely going to be
02:24a healing process i may have scarring we're kind of just going with the flow trying to like let me heal
02:31day by day i'm taking all my medications i'm doing my creams i'm supposed to clean my face three times a
02:37day i am just so thankful to be alive but there is one particular part of her recovery that has taken
02:44its toll on her i do have a 18-month-old daughter that i love so much and it's been pretty hard to
02:51take care of her and hold her play with her i am struggling with that a bit mentally because
02:57that's my little girl she just knows that something's wrong
