Chicken Pox??

Andrew awoke with a couple red spots on his forehead. I thought they were bug bites since we have had so much rain lately. After, I picked him up from daycare that day I noticed he had some spots on his leg and arm... again I first contributed it to bug bites.  I asked the daycare lady if he had been outside and she said no, too wet.  I removed his close and he had some on his thighs, upper arms and a few on this chest and back. Probably around 30 total everywhere.  He did start itching at them later that evening. I thought they might be chicken pox, but he had been vaccinated when he was 1 year old.  I took him to the Dr. Tuesday morning to get a diagnosis as I didn't want him going back to daycare if he was contagious.  Since he had such mild case, Dr. couldn't really say for sure that he had pox. I kept him home the rest of the week just to be safe. He acted normal... no fever, loss in appetite or flu symptoms, just the spots. And they only really bothered him for a day or so. I didn't give him any itch medicine after day 2.

If he wasn't watching a movie, my office turned into a play zone. Games, books and blocks, oh my! So thankful that I work at home and have flexibility in my schedule.
