9 Oct 2007 - Jerlene's thumb hurts but my heart hurts more

Jerlene has been sucking on her thumb so much nowadays that it has turned swollen. Not only that, the skin around the thumb has cracked. I felt so pain for her but she does not seem to feel any pain and kept on sucking. At first, we tried letting her wear a mitten but she kept pulling it off. So no choice, we wrapped a plaster around her thumb to prevent her skin from cracking further.

And guess what, she continued to suck on the plaster. My MIL said Jerlene not just bit off the plaster from her thumb, she even tried to swallow it and in the end got herself choked. We were shocked when we heard that. Sigh......Jerlene, your thumb really so tasty meh? Can daddy try? Heheh........
