Chicken Pox - Round 2

Ugh! Here we go again! Cam came in last night and said he had some itchy bumps - on his hiney! What the? Is it the rule of thumb that Chicken Pox belong on your butt? or what? This morning he had more - he has anywhere from 10-20 on his thighs and tooshie. *sigh* The school nurse called and informed me they do not want him back to school until he is scabbed over - and would prefer 1-2 days after scabbing to make sure. I thought the shot was suppose to prevent them? LOL

Emma started with what Cody had for Christmas on Sunday afternoon - she has run a fever, sore throat, extreme fatigue and weakness and has had body aches with the whole nine yards ever since. Last night after a full day of keeping nothing in her tummy at all - including her meds to bring the fever down - Jess and our Home Teacher gave her a Preisthood Blessing. She finally slept well (she had been whimpering in her sleep for the past two nights - which Momma's don't sleep well through!) and this morning she drank some sprite and kept it in. Her fever is down and she is on the road to recovery.

Whew! I am back to washing sheets like mad (THANKYOU Santa for bringing the kids all a new set of sheets so that now I can get the bed made when I take it apart! Saves TONS of time!) and disinfecting. SUPER fun!! Finding the joy: Caleb has someone to play with *grin* LOL
