Sophia has chicken pox :(

[Paula Duncan]

That sucks!! Jordan got them twice so I feel your pain!!

[angedawn]

Eve, I got the Chicken Pox when I was maybe about 22 years old - so I can understand why you want to avoid them! Mine weren't too bad, but it's just not something you want to be dealing with as an adult!

Oh Eve! I didn't know you hadn't had them yourself. I never had them either, so when my DS got them (20 or more years ago) I was sure I would get them. But I didn't! I must have a natural immunity to them, so I hope that's true for you too!! But my poor DS had them twice - first case was very mild, so he got them a second time.

Good luck with the kiddos, Eve! Hope they feel better soon!

[EveRecinella]

Thanks ladies, she is starting to get covered from head to toe today, poor baby, she is a trooper though!

[Zoe Pearn]

Oh Eve! I hope they get better soon! I got the Chicken Pox for the first time at 19 - YUK!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you don't get them too

[suzy]

I got them when I was 19 as well and it was not fun!!! I hope you all make it through this without too much discomfort!!! I should book Abi in to get her Chicken Pox vaccine - it is the only one she hasnt had!!! Good luck!!

[Yenny]

Awww...Good luck with them,Eve! But kids can pretty handle with that thing easily..although its very itchy and all..DS got chicken pox last year but thankfully his pedia got him a vaccine that day so its not scattered as it should be..

Take care!

[puck]

Poor I hope they feel better soon, Eve

the doctors are now saying that even with a vaccine, kids are still getting chicken pox, just not as bad. they are most likely going to start giving out a booster vaccination at about 7-10 years old. so.... even if your kids had been vaccinated, they could get it again. i just hope you don't get it! stock up on caladryl and benedryl gel.
