28 May 2010 - Chicken "pops"

So this afternoon I went to collect Michael from my mother-in-law (Andrew and I had been to a birthday party and Sue has looked after Michael for the afternoon) and I noticed a small blister-like mark on his neck. On closer inspection I found another 5 or 6 of these blisters on his back. My immediate thought was Chicken-pox and after a quick visit to the doctor this was confirmed.

I had to laugh at Andrew though. he kept saying to Michael that he must not come near him adn give him his "chicken pops" - every time I corrected him he just carried on with the pops instead of pox. Needless to sy the new buzz word in the Cross house is now chicken pops :).

Oh boy, so now I have a very contagious little boy who does not understand why he can't see his friends, can't go to school and can't scratch his very itchy skin.
Apparently the spots will get worse until about day 4/5 and then he can go back to "normal life" a few day after that. Wish us luck......
