Ella has the chicken pox. Yes, you read that correctly. Our 11 month old who doesn't attend daycare, has somehow managed to pick up the pox! I talked to the nurses this morning and they just want us to keep an eye on her behavior and appetite. I guess she can continue to get new spots for up to 6 more days (jeez!) and she's contagious until all of the red bumps have scabbed over. For anyone who cares (and because I didn't know this) the pox start out as red bumps that look like an insect bite, then they turn to blister-like bumps, and then the blisters turn to scabs. I just hope everything is cleared up before her upcoming (and much anticipated) birthday celebrations! Should be...
I'm really hoping we don't have a crabby baby this weekend. Jay is planning to be out of town and so it'll just be me handling Ella & the chicken pox. I'll have to update again later with how she's doing.
