Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Chicken Pox!!

 
We've had a rather busy couple of weeks and right in the middle R got the chicken pox!! She got them Wednesday morning and by Saturday they had all popped out and dried up and she was no longer contagious. They only bothered her at night right before she went to sleep so I calamined her up and put a sleeper on her after the 1st night and then she could fall asleep. She was the 1st of my kids to get a fever with the pox and I hope that means she will not be getting them again next time they go around!  The older 3 have already had them a couple of years ago. J had them 2 times. We did not think Baby J would get them as he is nursing and is getting antibodies from me (R was 3 months old when J, L and E had them and she never got them). Well surprise! Baby J got them on Sunday morning (The day after chicken butchering day here when he was being passed around and when he may have infected several children! Oops! How was I too know!) and they lasted for just a few days and he only got about 30 spots with no fever so I have a feeling in a year or two he'll get them again good and proper. I am amazed though at how many people think that children should never have this simple childhood illness and how many people vaccinate for it.
