The dreaded pox


I think Moses might have the chicken pox. No good, no good at all. I noticed the bumps yesterday afternoon (he has the same on his other arm and a couple on his back). Then I checked my email. A woman from my mother's group just got diagnosed with shingles. Hopefully I'm wrong. Hopefully I'm overacting. But they were still there this morning (plus 5 or 6 more). On the plus side they don't seem to be bothering him. He's still pretty happy go lucky.

Oh no!!

I haven't dealt with this one because the kids were vaccinated for it...I think they were anyway. But my mortal fear is hand-foot-and-mouth disease. I know so many people whose kids get it. Yeeccchhh!

Well, at least he's getting it while he's a baby - better than as a bigger kid.

Hope he stays oblivious to it!!

I don't know, those look more like bug bites to me. They are almost in a line, I don't remember chicken pox looking like that.....

I think Earl might be right...you usually get chicken pox on your trunk first...tummy etc. If I remember when I was a kid ( I brought them home from school and infected everyone) They are a lot larger:)
