Thumb Body Loves Me

One of Zachary's known abnormalities is his lack of thumbs.  We were hoping to somehow surgically move his pointer finger over so he can be able to grip items.  The medical procedure is called digit pollicization.

There is another option that as a technologist peaks my interest.  I heard of the story where a 7 year old kid received a bionic arm styled like Iron Man.  Wouldn't it be cool to get Zachary bionic thumbs?

Most of us take our thumbs for granted.  Try to pick up your cup at lunch without thumbs.  Try to give a thumbs up/down without a thumb. We don't want to have Zachary resort to other gestures when he is older.

Also, the High Five would be more appropriately called the High Four.

He would never be able to truly and accurately reflect the Fonz, if that was his costume choice for Halloween.

We are in the process to try both routes with the first contact will be the medical team at John Hopkins regarding thumb transplants.  They have been the pioneers in transplants for more than heart and lungs but for legs as well.  We are hoping that thumbody there can point us in the direction of an extra thumb.  We are hoping to put Zachary on the thumb transplant list.

The docs would try to find a match for Zachary based on blood type, skin color and possibly gender.

I guess you could say we are having a thumb drive!

When he gets his thumbs, he could get a shirt that says "Thumb body saved my life!"

Right now, I am trying to convince Becky to get a shirt with his hand print titled "Got Thumbs?"

Thank you all for your prayers and support and by the way, if you believe this, check your calendar!

Thank you for enjoying this satire.
