Chicken pox

We have chicken pox was not expecting them at all, even though I've heard numerous parents saying 'there going around'. 

Two days before his first spot he was asking for lots of cuddles and I knew something was coming. But he was kinda ok in himself, loosing his shit a bit quicker than normal.


Then the night he had his first spot he was worryingly sweaty. Last night again I stripped him to his nappy and gave him calpol twice in the night to bring down his tempeture.

AVOID ibuprofen as it can cause adverse skin reactions.

Now for the ITCHING!

He started last night and it's horrible to watch! Someone suggested piriton and calamine. I will update this post when we have come out the other side!
