Chicken Pox's

[Emmsmom]

Just a thought... I am wondering if he will even need the chicken pox shot now. Since he has already had one shot AND the chicken pox you would think he would have built up antibodies. Emmie had them TWICE as well. The second go round was very mild.She had very few spots, no fever, and they didn't itch that much. Glad he is feeling better. They told me that i might want to get her the booster shot. To be honest I am not going to even bother.

The doctor just thinks he has a reaction to the shot, like she told me on the phone if he had full blown chicken pox's i would know, she said he would be covered with them. As long as he wasn't running a fever she didn't want me bringing him in, I'm still giving him Aveeno baths, and the rash seems like its almost gone, and he is feeling much, much better, he's eatting much better, and sleeping better.
Yes he is getting his second chicken pox's shot next month, so i just pray i don't get another reaction like this one! But i'll be ready this time.. I'm giving him tylenol half hour before we get there to ease the pain, and i'll have aveeno ready for his baths. I'm taking a nap when we get home cause i know he'll be up in the middle of the night again with the runs .. oh boy! i wonder how many more shots he needs... I'm going to ask the doctor when we get there...
