We have a CHICKEN!!

So this last Friday evening, Joseph took off his shirt getting ready for bed and he had all these little red bumps all over his stomach and some on his back, next, sides and face. I had an idea of what they might be but prayed they weren't (we had lots of plans on the weekend).


So bright and early Saturday morning, we headed to the doctors office and were the 2nd ones there. When they heard Joey's symptoms, they took us immediately back to the exam room, where is was confimred...CHICKEN POX!! Both my boys had the chicken pox vaccine but it's only 70-85% effective but since he did have the shot, it should only be a really mild case.
So anyhow....after the diagnosis, we were ushered out the BACK door and our exam room was quarantined.
So here we are....the beginning of Spring Break....stuck in our home. Joseph is feeling just fine. Only symptoms he has is the spots so it's hard be home with a sick kid who doesn't even act sick!! (o:
