so far Marilyn he just has pox marks, if it gets any worse, i'm leaving work and running him to his Peditricians. I'm not taking any chances with this. Cause if Hubby gets it, he's high risk of shingles. and i know these are very painful.

Haley funny you should brought this topic up. I went for my yearly phycial yesterday. The dr. asked me if I ever had the chicken pox as a child. I told her that I don't think so and that my children had them badly and I had slept with them. I also have been around adults who have had the shingles. She said most likely is that I am immuned to them. But she wants to run a blood test to see. She did tell me that if you have never had chicken pox you do not get the shingles. That is only if you had them as a child.

The dr. told me that a person who never had chicken pox would get the chicken pox as an adult and it would be dangerous. Infection to the brain can happen and severe scarring. I don't want to scare you. Tell your husband to get a blood test or talk to the dr. about it.

Aww I hope Micah is feeling better.

We'll of coarse Mike called his mother yesterday and she has him scared, she thinks she a nurse, HA, the woman is just a nurse's Aid, there is a huge difference!
She so stupid she told him to stay away from Micah for a couple days etc !
I told Mike she is nuts, who the hell is going to take care of him!.. Chicken poxs is air borne virus anyways, if your going to get your going to get it..
I told him to go move in with his mother a couple days ! There driving me crazy!

My understanding is that a child is most contagious before and while breaking out, so your hubby has already been exposed. Now you just wait to see if he gets them. I've known adults who got them and yes, they did get a worse case of it, but all turned out fine in the end.

Usually for a child the worst of the sickness is over by the time theyr'e done breaking out, so your little guy should be just fine now. Itchy, but not terribly sick.

Thanks Tink, like i said his mother thinks she a nurse, there nuts! That's why the doctor told me to give him benedryl incase he's itchy, and to bring down the rash.
Mikes family just worries about themselves thats how they always been! Sad but true..
Like you said i think the worse is over with, just have to watch for a fever now.
Na Na said he's doing fine, he even ate waffles this morning, so i'm feeling alittle bit better today, i didn't even want to come to work today, should have took the day off.

Haley, don't beat yourself up because you are at work. It sounds like Micah is doing fine and he's being well taken care of. Save those days for when he really needs you!
