Chicken Pox's

[Gina]

Haley I hope that little Micah is better today.That sucks having to get the vaccination then getting the poxs anyway. My son had the chicken pox at 5 yrs. old he got it very mildly like maybe 10, my daughter got it worse. Try putting camomdly lotion I cant spell it, it is pink lotion and very refreshing. I put that on the kids when they had them. Someone help me with the spelling..lol I use to give them baths with aveeno also refreshing..

The good news is that my blood tests show that I am immuned to the chicken pox virus that is why I never probably caught it with my kids. Your husband may be the same..

Kiss the little guy for me..

I have some of the pink stuff at home, can't spell either Judy so don't worry, i know what you are talking about. My mom told me to get aveeno too and to keep him out of the sun, as soon as i get home i strip him down to his diaper and let him run around like that, then after his bath he takes off on me all the time so he runs naked until i can caught the little bugger... I love watching that cute little butt running down the hall way.. LOL..
I'll let yo guys know as soon as i hear from the doctor... I guess there's really not too much i can do but watch him and try to keep him comfortable.. Benedryl is helping but its knocking him out, the poor baby falls asleep eatting, i also notice he is very thirsty lately, and cranky at night. Has a mild cough but no fever. i also give him popcicles to cool him down, and he loves to take a bath so he stays in there as long as he wants to, i know that feels good to him, and when it cools down at night we go for a stroll, just to get him out of the house. He likes that..

Ask your doctor if it is too late to give him an antiviral. Emmie's doc gave that to her and it helped a lot.

The antiviral is listed at the very begining of the article. Hope he feels better.

Thanks Michelle, but no more shots for him for awhile, had enough of them lately with his reactions...

It isn't a shot. It is a liquid medication. As for the shots... yeah I would be scared to give him any kind of shot right not too.

I think you're thinking of Calamine lotion??? There is another kind (99.9% the same thing) called Caladryl.

I think i got the calamine lotion at home, i have a first aid kit especially for Micah i downloaded what they told me to get for toddlers and i believe it was calamine. I just need to pick up some Alveeno for his bath tonight... i picked him up some new bath toys so he'll stay in there longer and soak for me. He loves bath time, right after he eats dinner he'll run in the bathroom and point at the tub and say "bath"..
