Ellie Has a Wart Removed (POOR BELLA)

Yesterday morning I discovered Ellie had a wart on her thumb. So I schedule an appointment at the pediatrician for Tuesday afternoon. She is unaware of what is likely to happen. I take her and Sagan to Michaels Arts n Crafts to pick up some painting fun, take them for haircuts (LO! To our surprise Uncle Richard is in town and meets us there) You haven't seen Sagan's smile brighter then when she sees her favorite Uncle. Beaming!



At the doctor he tells me what the options are. I opt for horror. It's quicker and she is not likely to pick at the sore. So I explain to Ellie what he has to do and that she is just as brave if she cries.

She was sobbing. The wart had to be frozen to truly kill the virus. I have never ever heard Ellie cry in agony before. She was sweating, shaking and sobbing all the while shaking her hand to stop the stinging. I was undone. My poor girl.

On the way home as the crying has nearly stopped as she is enjoying a lollipop I came up with a brilliant idea. I took Ellie and Sagan to Game Stop and bought Ellie a new Mario DSI game. She was thrilled. Yea for parental guilt and distractions!!!

She was ok when she got home. The game was an excellent distraction. Fred sat with her as she played.

Hoping she is well this morning.
