She will be okay.
You didn't mention how she burned..but as long as it's not more serious than 2nd, she will be okay.
I suffered second degree burns from the sun all over my body a few summers ago. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my entire life.
But with the help of some prescription pain killers and other skin renewal pills the doctor prescribed to me, I recovered in less than a week.
I will say a prayer for her.

A gas can blew up and she caught on fire..Her trach and lungs are burned as well.They have peeled all the skin off and have her wrapped in bandages.I know she will be fine, but it will takes months the doctors said. Thanks for your kind words...Ralinda

Wow... that must have been terrible to have her trachea and lungs burned.

I hope she's okay. I can't imagine the pain that she's experiencing. I got second-degree burns on my right thumb and index finger in eighth grade and the pain was excruciating. I was blowing glass in chemistry, and since I didn't want to be late for my next class, I tried to take the rubber tubing off before it had a chance to cool, and my hand slipped and touched the molten hot class. My index finger was charred and my thumb was black and white. Luckily, I'm left-handed, but I remember having to pop the blisters and peel off the dead skin- not fun. I sincerely hope that your daughter heals quickly. I'm so sorry that she has to go through this. Good luck and God bless.

I am so sorry for your friend's pain. As a baby my mother was burned while taking a bath, my gradmother left my mother in the sink to answer the door but when she came back one of my mother's feet was burned by the water being too hot. Any burn injury is painful, but what your friend must be going through I would imagine is excruciating. Many blessing to your friend, I hope she heals safely.
