It all started on Monday morning. While getting Grace dressed for the day I noticed 3 dots on her torso. No big deal, right? Until naptime and we found 5...hmm... we began to wonder. When we checked at bedtime she had 8 and by morning it was 11. The one on her thigh had a white blister/pimple look to it. So, I called her doctor and was told that it sounded like it could be chicken pox! Of all things! Both Isaac and Grace have had the vaccine for it. We were told to wait until Wednesday and see if they began to pop and dry out and to call back. Well, in the morning, the one on her thigh did change and a couple of the others had turned white. We also notice 2 spots on Isaac's belly. With another call to the pediatrician, they feel that they have a mild case of the chicken pox. Thankfully, because they had the vaccine, it won't be that bad. In fact, as of today, Grace has only had 15 and Isaac still has the 2. And, neither of them have run a fever, or have had a loss of appetite, or have acted abnormal. They seem to be pretty unfazed by the whole thing. The only downside is that we've been under quarentine and will be until all of the dots have turned white and pop... usually about 5 days. It's been hard because the weeks before this we've been going non stop between playground playdates and playdates at friend's houses or our house. We have been spending a lot of time outside playing in the sandbox, swinging, and jumping in their new kiddie pool. I even got in one day which they just loved! So, we are making the most of it, and hoping that we will be out of the house by the end of the week. :)
