[HALEY]

Same thing last night, got up around 3:30 screaming agian. walked him around for about an hour and put on some cartoons, and he was fine, oh i need some sleep.. Hubby was no help he wouldn't calm down for him, he wanted his mommy!
So i just stayed up with him... Hope tonight is better.
Just think he has to get one more of these shots! Dear Lord !!...

Sorry you're having such a hard time. Chicken Pox must be bad where you live. People don't think it's a big deal here. Most never even get the vaccine. I remember Ricky woke up one morning all broke out, but didn't have any problems with it at all. Didn't even itch very bad.

My Mom did get the Shingles a few years back. Very painful for her.

Janet, he got the chicken pox's from the vaccine. It stinks they have to get all these stupid vaccines or they will Not let them in school or daycare.. my son don't go to daycare but still they force you into getting all these vaccines, and i don't think it's fair!

Yep, he got the pox's from the shot, but he's not bad, he has like 6-7 pox's, he has a big one on his face, about 3 on his stomach, and a couple on his butt. He's not covered with them, i looked on the internet yesterday and he can't spread the chicken pox's cause he don't have the full blown chicken pox's, he has a reaction from the vaccine, it's like 3 out of 10 kids get this reaction from the shot, But still being annual like i am, i strip his sheets and our bed sheets every other day and lysol the house and blech everything when he is sleeping, was up till 11 last night cleaning.. then he go up around 3:30.. oh i think i'm just relaxing tonight, and take him for a little walk when it cools down.

Just curious.. When did he get the shot? Emmie had the chicken pox shot when she was 1 year old. Last year she managed to catch chicken pox 2 times. My doctor always told me that the shot does not mean that she would never catch them. It just meant that if she did get them that they wouldn't be very bad. Tink is right. They are contagious about 1 week before they break out and are still contagious till the last pox scabs over. Poor thing. I hope he feels better soon.

Micah got the shot June 10 th, i have a call into my peditrician, just waiting for her to call back.. She'll probably want me to come in, so it's going to be another long night for me, and people wonder why i live on coffee.... I'm going to get some Aveeno or something to bath him in tonight try to cool his skin down some, i cut his nails real short last night, noticed he was scratching his face.. I just need some sleep before i crack up...

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.

[Janet]

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"..
