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!

I know what you mean Haley. I hated to leave Jessie when she didn't feel well to go to work. It sounds like he'll be fine though. I think the worst is over.

There's a vaccination for shingles, by the way.

Your MIL sounds really annoying. You have my sympathy.

yeah, been there, survived that! You do what you have to do and before you know it, you look back and wonder where the heck the years went! When Kevin was little, I used a sitter one summer because I had to work days. I used to drop him off and he would stand at the door and cry "don't go mommy. don't go" I would cry all the way to work. Then when I would call the sitter she would tell me that before I even pulled out of the driveway he would take off to play with the other kids. When I picked him up in the evening he would cry that he didn't want to leave the sitter! That kid just loved to make me feel guilty!

I hate when that boy cries, he has me wrapped around his little fingers!
We'll he was up at 3am this morning, screaming his head off. Took me an hour to rock him back to bed.. Gave him a dose of benedryl, the pox don't look to bad today, put some baby powder on him before sending him nana's house. Hopefully he takes a nice nap for her this afternoon, the poor kid was so tired yesterday he was falling asleep eating his dinner.

I feel for you. You're such a good Mommy! Kiss Micah for me please.

I hope he has a better night.

That sucks! They gave him the vacine to prevent chicken pox and it ended up giving it to him anyway! The good news is that you don't have to deal with that again. Chicken pox is hard no matter what age you are!!!
