Ammie was only 18 months old when she had the accident that has scarred her for life. While her mother’s back was turned for a moment, the curious child reached up to grab the flex of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant body.
Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly scalded, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. The doctors could tell immediately that Ammie’s best chance of survival was a specialised burns unit some miles away at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, surgeons performed complex skin grafts to close her wounds and control her injuries. The operation took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie under-went 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at Maxwelton primary at four, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her.
Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars, pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin grafts. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims. She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year
