Round 3

Today I took Gracie back to the dermatologist for her third appointment. She started with 4 warts on her fingers (I think, but I'm losing track). Her first treatment went well, but we had to go back for a second application of the medicine. Today was her third application of the medicine and she had two new minuscule warts. Ick! We were disappointed to find two new ones, but there was also success as the biggest warts were either gone all together or much smaller. Gracie is just as pleased as can be with her dermatology appointments. She loves the doctor, the rewards for being so brave (thank you Grandpa and Nana), and the suckers she gets from the receptionist at the clinic. She doesn't care that she has warts; in fact she calls them bumps. Her doctor said she can look at Gracie's skin and she that she is predisposed to viral infections, but she thinks that as Gracie ages and "gets tougher" she should outgrow this. We hope so! Her doctor also said there is research that proves you should yell at your warts and they will go away quicker, so we have been doing lots of yelling in our house!
