"Time to get those burns cleaned, then." Brenda stood and stripped off her
gloves, then mixed up water and hexochlorophene in a basin and brought it
and cotton over to set down by Ivy. New gloves, then time to tend her
hands. "And it does suck, yeah." She sat again, dipped cotton in the
solution, and wiped it along Ivy's hand just hard enough to dislodge
anything that might be embedded in the burns. She was numb; she should be
fine. "Dawn's already okay with sharing her dad--they mostly already call
him 'Dad', and he is in the important ways--and I think she'd be even more
okay with him adopting them. It was her idea that I adopt her."
