Chicken Pox
The very end of August both kids got sick with fevers the weekend before school started. A few days into school it looked like Zora had a bunch of bug bites on her elbow, and after seeing some of the parent’s reaction, I decided to take her to the doctor just to make sure it wasn’t chicken pox. Well, the doctor thought it was chicken pox, so Zora’s second day of school and the whole next week was cancelled. It never got any worse than the day I took her to the doctor (it was itching her like crazy that day) and, honestly, didn’t really look like chicken pox to me. Zane had one spot on his back that looked similar. By the time we got the word from the doctor, both kids were feeling better so staying at home was pretty much torture because neither of the kids felt bad. Zane is happy staying home, but Zora was ready to lose it after a day of not leaving the house.
We will still get the titers checked when they hit puberty to make sure they have an immunity to chicken pox before they start hitting the period where it can be more serious (in a kid, it isn’t usually bad, but it is pretty awful as an adult) to know whether they will need a vax for it. I hope it was CP since it was such a PITA for us, but I am not convinced it was.
