A thumbsuckers thumb

Poor Keeley went to the dr. this morning to have a wart removed from her thumb. Being the evil parent that I am I chose the painful way of taking it off, good old freezing. He had another alternative to take it off that would have been less painful, but would have been stretched out over a number of weeks. I'm cheap. What can I say. I chose her discomfort instead of spending hundreds of dollars to take it off with less pain. So sign me up for the evil mean parent i.d. card, because today, I qualify.

You can see her poor little thumb there, all wrapped in duct tape. Yes, duct tape. That is what my expensive dermatologist told me to do. On the bright side, maybe she'll stop sucking her thumb. Unfortunately, the one on her other hand still is very suckable.

K had a wart on his heel and the doctor told me to put duct tape on it because it deprives it of oxygen. I did it and guess what, it seriously worked. We didn't even have to have it frozen off. We'll see how long it lasts though:) And, if you are entered into the bad parent club, I don't even know what club that would put me in!
