Day #1166 (Thu., Mar. 14, 2013) – Chicken Pox

2013-03-14 – Chicken Pox

Katie was up early again this morning. As soon as I went to see her she said she was itchy. The pacifier and cream didn’t do the trick this morning. She was soon up watching television. All the commotion woke my wife up and she tended to Katie so I could go back to bed.

I got a call from my wife just as I was leaving for lunch today. My wife just got back from the pediatrician and Katie has chicken pox (see photo to the right)! She also has some fluid on the ear. This is why she has not been sleeping through the night.

Katie proudly told my wife that when she grows up she wants to be an “eskersizer”. Exerciser I think is what she meant to say…

When I got home from work I looked at Katie’s chicken pox. Big red spots, but she didn’t really seem sick or anything. My wife tells me that they look differently if you have been vaccinated or not. Katie was vaccinated so the spots are fewer and larger.

On the way from from work I stopped off at Trader Joe’s to pick up supplies. The usual stuff. I did get some organic raspberries and extra juice packs for Katie. My wife also wanted me to pick up a box of lollipops…Katie has started to crunch them so they don’t last as long as when she was just licking them.

WHAT I LEARNED TODAY
