Lumps and bumps!

*This post was originally written the end of April. About a month ago, Travis showed me a bunch of what looked like little blisters in his armpit area. We watched them for a while and they didn't seem to be spreading, so we decided to wait for the lumps and bumps day at the Lovell clinic to get them checked out. We had them looked at and found out that they are related to the wart family and in order to get rid of them, we would need to freeze them. We were told to place some compoundW on each individual wart until they go away. We did the first treatment on Thursday. Travis was a trooper! It burned a bit and he got a little sad while it did. Luckily it did't burn for too long. They look lots better after the first treatment, but we did another one Sunday to try and clear them all up.

Travis' armpit before we started.

I looked up while I was in the middle of dabbing gel stuff on the warts and saw that Landon had a hold of Travis' hand to make him feel better. He is such a good brother and didn't like to see Travis sad! It made my heart about burst!

Here they  are after we put the compoundW on each of them.

This is what Travis's arm pit looks like now (mid August). After several treatments (like 6), the warts are pretty much all gone, minus a few that have popped up down further on his arm! Up until the last few weeks, he has worn swim shirts to cover them up, but now he feels like a new man and goes without them!
