Chickenpox!

Kimberley · 11-25-2006, 07:08 AM

Poor baby! My daughter did not have the vaccine and was COVERED with them (even in her ears and mouth) when she was 11 months old. It was horrible!!!!

My son has had the vaccine and when he got them (Christmas before last), it was centralized to just the inside of his mouth...and it was BAD!!! He couldn't even drink water without screaming out in pain.

We all survived, though.

Poor little girl. Chickenpox is not fun!!

My mother had the shingles when she was in her later 70's. Not good! She had it mostly in her arms and shoulders and was in soooo much pain. Most pain relievers didn't help that much. I can't remember what the Dr. had her on, but she was still miserable.

The bad thing about chickenpox is that the virus stays in your body for years and can reoccur as shingles. I had shingles 3 times in one year in '03 and I will NEVER forget it. They are linear and occur along a nerveline. I had them on the right side of my head and face, and behind the right ear. All three times in the same places. I thought I would never get rid of it.

Have you tried putting baking soda in the bath water? It's very soothing and if that doesn't help much try Aveeno bath oil. It helps too.

My daughter, Mama to the little one with chickenpox, is a nurse, so I'm sure she's getting good care. Her poor little feet are so broke out that she cries and walks on her tip toes when she wants to get somewhere.

I wish we lived closer so I could help out with her now. I know it's exhausting taking care of a sick child.

Luckily my Mom lives close to them, so she's been helping out. It's good for the kids to have great-grandma around, and equally good for her to have them!

How lucky that your daughter is a nurse! I'm sure she knows exactly what to do for her. Oh, her poor feet.

I was thinking how great it is that her great-grandma is still living. That's amazing. You must be a very young grandma.

I was barely 19 when I had my oldest and my Mom was the same when she had me. So Great-grandma is 71 years old but acts much younger. Fortunately she's in good condition and loves to keep active. She still goes dancing and loves to go for walks around town. SHe babysits the girls a couple times a week or more and enjoys it a lot. She has them overnight and takes them places with her with no hesitation. The little one calls her "G-mama" and is as comfy with her as she is her own parents. The older one (who will be 7 on the 30th) thinks great gramma walks on water. LOL
