About a week before Halloween we had to take Zach into the doctor to have a wart removed on this thumb. No big deal, right?? Wrong! The thumb that had the wart on it was also the thumb that Zach sucks, because of this reason I had made the huge mistake of just trying to take care of it myself with over the counter medicines. By the time we decided to take him in to the doctor the wart was really deep and big. He basically had to have surgery because they had to scrape it off, dig a lot of it out and also burn it. Pretty tramatic and painful for him and so sad when he got home because he wanted to comfort himself and suck his thumb but obviously he couldn't. Zach always wore a bandage and it took a couple of weeks for his thumb to totally heal, which ended up being a miracle in disguise because it broke Zach's thumb sucking habit for good.

Pretty sure that this is the first picture I have that
Zach isn't sucking his thumb while he is sleeping. |

The wart was only on the inside of his thumb
but for some reason his whole thumb was sore and bruised. |
