Chicken Pox's

[judy]

I feel for you. You're such a good Mommy! Kiss Micah for me please.

I hope he has a better night.

That sucks! They gave him the vacine to prevent chicken pox and it ended up giving it to him anyway! The good news is that you don't have to deal with that again. Chicken pox is hard no matter what age you are!!!

Same thing last night, got up around 3:30 screaming agian. walked him around for about an hour and put on some cartoons, and he was fine, oh i need some sleep.. Hubby was no help he wouldn't calm down for him, he wanted his mommy!
So i just stayed up with him... Hope tonight is better.
Just think he has to get one more of these shots! Dear Lord !!...

Sorry you're having such a hard time. Chicken Pox must be bad where you live. People don't think it's a big deal here. Most never even get the vaccine. I remember Ricky woke up one morning all broke out, but didn't have any problems with it at all. Didn't even itch very bad.

My Mom did get the Shingles a few years back. Very painful for her.

Janet, he got the chicken pox's from the vaccine. It stinks they have to get all these stupid vaccines or they will Not let them in school or daycare.. my son don't go to daycare but still they force you into getting all these vaccines, and i don't think it's fair!

Ok call me stupid. So if he got the shot. was it the shot that gave your child the chicken poxs. All three of my kids have had them. I never did get them. But my
brother got them when he was 30. Don't know why I never got them. I hope it works out that your hubby doesn't get them. I remember when my kids had them i just kept waiting tosee when i would get them but didn't Thank goodness.
I'll keep you all in my prayers.

Yep, he got the pox's from the shot, but he's not bad, he has like 6-7 pox's, he has a big one on his face, about 3 on his stomach, and a couple on his butt. He's not covered with them, i looked on the internet yesterday and he can't spread the chicken pox's cause he don't have the full blown chicken pox's, he has a reaction from the vaccine, it's like 3 out of 10 kids get this reaction from the shot, But still being annual like i am, i strip his sheets and our bed sheets every other day and lysol the house and blech everything when he is sleeping, was up till 11 last night cleaning.. then he go up around 3:30.. oh i think i'm just relaxing tonight, and take him for a little walk when it cools down.

Just curious.. When did he get the shot? Emmie had the chicken pox shot when she was 1 year old. Last year she managed to catch chicken pox 2 times. My doctor always told me that the shot does not mean that she would never catch them. It just meant that if she did get them that they wouldn't be very bad. Tink is right. They are contagious about 1 week before they break out and are still contagious till the last pox scabs over. Poor thing. I hope he feels better soon.

Poor guy - I hope he's feeling better soon!!

Micah is doing much better, the Aveeno worked wonders last night, i put him in the tub for 1/2 hour just playing and pooring the water all over him, he is down to benedryl once a day at bedtime, i told the doctor it's took much for him all he does is sleep, hes all doped up, i don't like him like that...He's been falling asleep eating dinner! The rash seemed much better after his bath last night, sat and sun. i'm going to try and give him three baths a day and just let him run around in his diaper. and put baby powder on him before he goes to bed. He is eating much better and still drinking alot . But that's good.
Just so glad it is Friday, maybe i can catch up on some sleep this weekend.

I had chicken pox TWICE when I was little. The first time was just mild when I was a baby, and then my older brother got them and my parents weren't worried about me because they thought I'd be immune, but nope I got it full blown again when I was 5! My mom swore by bathing with baking soda. You can also just mix a glass of baking soda with water and sponge it on, so that it dries on the skin. It soothes the itching.
