Chicken Pops


Last week was Spring Break, the girls were pretty much stuck inside all week because I needed to put in some long hours at work, but they still had fun. On Thursday we went out to the close by field and ran the dog and the girls were chasing her, and just having fun. I stayed in the car because it was about 7:00, it was getting dark, the bugs were out, and I wasn't really in the mood to stand and watch the dog run when I could see it from the car :). So the next day, Abbie has these five dots on her face, like the shape of the five dots on a dice. Weird. Well, then the next day she's got a few more spots, no blisters, just looked like zits. No cold symptoms, no fever, no itching. So I decide after much contemplation that she's fine, must be bug bites. We were singing in the choir at church yesterday so we needed to be there (the choir was only like 10 people) so we bring her. Well, right before we sing Brad was holding her and looked at her feet and there were two huge chicken pox blisters. It was very obvious from our research on google that they were chicken pox. YIKES! So now our whole ward has been exposed to the Chicken Pox. She received one vaccination about 9 months ago, but didn't get her first vaccine she was supposed to get at age 1, so its VERY mild, in fact her spots on her chest are pretty much gone. But we get to quarantine her this week, so much fun. She calls them the Chicken Pops, and she chases Tori around trying to touch her, the poor thing :)

Aaah. Poor thing! Atleast they are mild. Quarantine is no fun though! Get better soon Abbie dear!

Love,
Aunt Jeni

Poor girl! Hope they go away soon and others don't get them - or if they do, that they don't it was from her!

oh MAN! We had the chicken pox all at once! One of us got it so my mom made sure that we all got it so it would be done quickly. YIKES. It was not a good memory.
